It costs ~1200/month w/ off street parking. I found a few listings on craigslist and the Yale off-campus housing website, and make a weekend trip to check all of them out.

Hi Microburritology, I will be attending the Yale BBS - MMPP track. I have found myself an one-bedroom apartment in East Rock with the help of some senior students and craigslist. Hope to see you in the fall!

I just applied to Pharmacology PhD programs this cycle, and I have got in to all my top choices. Here are my 2 cents...and I echo Eigen on the this. Since you cannot change your undergrad GPA, work hard to score higher on your GRE. But remember that there will be programs that care more about research experience than your stats (hint: Vanderbilt), so you need to HIGHLIGHT your research experience in your statement. It's just that many programs have low cut-offs for GPA and GRE because there is no way they can accept an outlier to lower their mean stats for admission unless the student has a stellar research experience.

Which focus area/ track did you put down for TSRI? Thanks!

Thanks for replying! Do you think it would be worth it to call Penn and ask about it?

Have all Northwestern NUIN invites gone out? Thanks

Anyone heard back from Penn or Johns Hopkins Pharmacology???? Thanks

Anybody know when UPenn Pharmacology will be sending out invites?

Congrats! Which dates?

The area code I got was 203, and it says New Haven, CT. Hope it helps.

Feb 19-21

@Microburritology Feb 19-21 for Yale; Jan 27-29 for Duke

Got a call from Yale BBS (MMPP) this morning for an interview. Duke neurobiology also emailed yesterday. YAY!

Congratulations! I also got an invite from them yesterday!

January 21-23

Thanks a bunch!

Just got an interview from UNC-BBSP! So damn happy

Thanks! I hope you'll hear from them soon :)

I was really surprised/excited too! I submitted in mid-October and got an email invite in November from the coordinator asking me to call and confirm the interview.

Hey, I received Vandy IGP interview request on Nov. 18, and I just checked that the status still says submitted. Hope this helps.

Just submitted all my applications to 14 schools! I am surprised that I don't feel relieved at all......and here goes the waiting game......

Hi all, This is my first post and I really appreciate your advices! I took my first GRE today and got V156 and Q168, still waiting on the writing to come out. I am applying for the top PhD programs in pharmacology/neuroscience in the country. Please help me decide if the verbal score would be too low for those programs! My other stats: Top 20 college, UGPA 3.8, 2-3 publication in review, strong rec letter (i think). Thanks so much!
