I heard from Vanderbilt IGP last Friday, so they are still reviewing apps if anyone is still waiting

It looks like most of the rejections today were Biomedical Sciences not Biological which are different departments at UCSD No idea what the status is but I haven't heard anything

Or word on Stanford Molecular and Cellular Physiology? Haven't seen anything

Damn. Thanks for the update!

They offered me an early arrival as well, but it sounds like the interview will still be conducted March 1-3... not sure if additional activities will be offered if you arrive early, but I don't think the interview will be moved up to a Sunday. I was guessing that they are just trying to sell you on Portland/ make it more convenient

Someone was offered an interview on Dec 12th according to the results page, but no idea if all invites have been sent

OHSU and UNC

Did my undergrad at Cornell! Ithaca is awesome, but COLDDD. Congrats! You'll love it!

Me too!

https://graduate.ucsf.edu/programs/neurosci-admissions UCSF is like 10% but yeah... very elite school and a very awesome program!

Pretty much this same thing happened to me for UCSD... I got my letter into them again within a couple of hours of them emailing me and was told that my application was now under review and that it wouldn't affect that status of my application. I would say best thing you can do is get it in ASAP and if your letter writer has a confirmation email from the first time it was submitted, forward that along too.

I think having post-bac research is huge... really shows that you know what you're getting into and that you know that you actually enjoy research. I am in a similar boat as you and have gotten the same feedback from advisers and my lab members. Good luck! I

Lots of reach schools, but only need one Have one interview at this point.

UC Denver is also meeting the 15th, I talked with a professor of interest and he said interview invites will be sent out shortly after that.

I got an email from the Program Manager... I had gotten an email to check the status of my application as well but all it said was that my application was under review when I logged on Good luck! Sounds like they just started looking at apps today because I had asked a question regarding parts of my application yesterday and they hadn't started reviewing yet

I got Alabama Birmingham Neuroscience today

Thanks for everyone's help! I am sending an updated resume to all of the schools I applied to

Definitely cut it down to two pages max.

Great, thanks! I will try sending an updated CV as well. I have submitted all of my applications, but I don't think any will start reviewing until tomorrow

Does anyone know if it is possible to send in updates to your application? It looks as though I will have two additional manuscripts that will be submitted in the next two weeks.
