Aren't they in the central timezone? So it's not past closing for five minutes right?

I think they're screening phone calls at this point haha. Called twice and no one picked up

Yeah the whole thing seems pretty disorganized. I never got the email in January but I did get the email today saying I made it to the next round...

Hmm, did everyone receive an email like TPNigl's? I never received final confirmation about my application being complete and there was no way to check online. Now a little worried that it wasn't fully submitted

Does anyone know when they contact your references? Is it if you save and submit?

Thanks @WhereamI! I'm glad you started this thread. Good luck to you too!

Heads up - this is an old thread from last year. Probably worth creating another for this year though. The radio silence from Harvard is brutal!

If you mean NYU Cognition and Perception, I heard from them Dec. 16th and their two interview weekends are Feb. 10 and Feb. 17. Not sure if they're sending out more invites or if they did them all at once

Has anyone heard from Harvard?

Hi the post wasn't me but I also got an email from my POI yesterday. However, I know that official emails haven't been sent yet (they're supposed to be sent sometime today) so I wouldn't stress if you haven't heard anything.

Agh are people hearing from MIT BCS officially? I had a pre-interview Skype yesterday and I see interview invites starting to appear on the results page...

Hi, another cognition/perception person here! I applied to UCSD (Psych and Neuro), Stanford, Columbia, NYU, Princeton, Brown CLPS, Harvard and MIT BCS. Currently finding it very nerve wracking that so many other schools/departments are sending interview invites already! Good luck to everyone

Thank you St0chastic, I really appreciate it. Good to hear about the GRE. Retaking it currently seems unnecessarily stressful but I wanted to check just in case the AW score stood out in a bad way.

Hi all, nervous cog psych/neuro PhD applicant here. I'll be applying this fall to start fall of 2017. Any thoughts on how I could improve my application? I'm particularly unsure about my GRE AW score. I'm generally satisfied with my GREs but I'm wondering if I should retake considering how competitive the schools I'm applying to are. Undergraduate (at non HYP ivy): Major - Psychology, Minors - Philosophy, French (also took a couple of CS classes and linear algebra) GPA Overall - 3.86 / Major GPA - 4.00 Masters in Experimental Psychology (at top UK school): equivalent of A; prize for best overall performance GRE - Verbal: 169, Quant: 167, AW: 4.5 Psych GRE 98th percentile Research - 5 years of research in various fields within cog psych/cog neuro (4 different labs - currently in an RA position) - Extensive programming experience (particularly with Matlab) as a result 3 publications currently under review - 2 first author and 1 second author. Unfortunately, I starting to doubt any of these will be out by the time I apply 5 posters/talks (including 3 at SfN this November) Honors Bunch of department prizes (for best honors thesis, poster presentation, overall performance etc) from both undergrad and grad institutions I'm planning to apply to a mix of psych and neuro programs with a number of top programs in there (Harvard, UCSD, Stanford etc). Do you think its worth retaking the GRE or should I focus more on other parts of my application? Any input would be really appreciated
