neurotrino

I hope so! I'm still hanging on - looks like emails are still personalized for the name (haha) so it might take a while to get to everyone. I know since I'm at the very end of the alphabet, I've had my fill of freaking out when others post on this forum early. And then I finally get an email around dinnertime.

I received an invite to interview for WUSTL neuro for Jan 12-14th, but they have a second interview session. I'm almost positive they're still sending out invites to that one, bc when I emailed asking for an alternate date they said they're still filling spots for that second cohort.

Oh boy from the results page it looks like University of Pennsylvania NGG is sending out / has sent out invites. Which is bizarre bc it is quite late in their time zone. Oh dear.

This was the case for me! If you don't get contacted rn, don't take it as a bad sign! If you do, I think it just means someone noticed your app. They probably just want to chat for a bit so they can feel more solid about you before the adcomm makes official invitations. It's entirely possible that someone may notice yours and think they don't need any more info before advocating for you.

Congrats! I just received a call from UChicago as well - from neurobiology. I'm not sure if the other neuro programs there are done looking at applicants yet. Also, the call was from a faculty member so some may simply call later. To anyone waiting, hang in there! I was told the official invitation emails should go out next week. Also, it appears that MIT professors are conducting individual pre-interview interviews in the next couple weeks (before they extend any official invitations) since they received so many applications this round. Best of luck to everyone! I hope you guys finish up finals strong too.
