I'm not sure if this is the place to ask this, but I was hoping that someone with more knowledge about the process than myself could answer this question for me. For neuroscience programs, do basically all applicants need to interview, or are some directly admitted? Further, if you do somehow magically skip the interview process, when are you likely to be informed? (i.e. will it still take until march or April, or what have you?) Put another way, how worried should I be about not getting interviews to certain schools? (Assuming that my application is reasonably competitive)
