Yeah, I was there Feb. 6th. OOfficial offer to come next week. Don't stress yet, if you haven't heard anything.

I've only had one interview so far, but I did all that you did and felt overprepared. We had 30 minute meetings with 4 faculty members, and most of that time was spent talking about current projects, my research experience, and just getting to know one another. I'd recommend focusing your energy on professor/lab bios and http://projectreporter.nih.gov/reporter.cfm if you weren't already doing a little bit of this. The site allows you to search by PI and read abstracts for their current grants and see funding history. If you have free time after that and would like to read something they've published, go for it. Good luck!

Accepted to UNC-Chapel Hill's Behavioral Neuro program earlier today!

I wouldn't be too concerned about your GPA as there isn't much you can do to improve it. Like other users have said, just explain in your personal statement why your GPA is on the low end. You very well might need to retake the GRE, but that's not a huge deal. When you complete applications, you won't need to report all past GRE scores. Your letters of recommendation and professional experience (research, counseling, volunteer, etc.) will carry more weight in the selection process than GPA. Your letters of recommendation should come from whoever you think will provide the most personal, thorough account of who you are, your accomplishments, and why you are an outstanding candidate for xyz program. My undergrad GPA was a 3.25, but I've received four interview invites to BNS or Neuro. PhD programs thanks to solid GRE scores, strong letters of recommendation, and several years of technician/clinical experience. So it can be done!
