Anyone knows if international students go through different waves of invites ?

Hi everyone... i'm applying to US universities for neuroscience phd Let me introduce myself. Undergrad Institution: UK top 10 (non Oxbridge) BSc in physics, additional credits from MPhys medical physics grade : 2:1 ... which is sth like 3.3 GPA Master of Research in molecular biophysics (London) Type of Student: international student GRE Scores (revised/old version): Q: 160 V: 155 W: 4.0 Research Experience: A lot of different things during 7 years. 3 years, nanotechnology / nanomaterials sensors / scaffolds for stem cells using CNT 2 years, mathematical models, analysis (varing from pure mathematics (multi-d networks) to applications and experimental design) 2 years of biochemistry labs and computational research on prions Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Funding research positions throughout my studies (probably the reason i didn't care that much about my "official performance") additional funding for my own research project ( Oxbridge ), several awards for performance in maths competition Pertinent Activities or Jobs: 7 years of tutoring of undergrad students, 2 years being maths trainer for IMO participation in many different projects from all around the university (from space engineering to psychology) ( multidisciplinary research is kinda my thing) Applying to Where: BostonU -- comp neuroscience UMass -- neuroscience UCSD -- comp neuroscience Brown -- neuroscience UCLA -- neuroscience JHU -- neuroscience I'm not happy about my GREs and generally i know that my grades are not as high as they should had been but i am confident about knowing my way around research and particularly interdisciplinary projects. still no news from any of them... here's hoping Best of luck to everyone!
