Does anyone know if all the Chicago neuroscience interview invites have gone out already?

Hi! Have a lot of people heard from University of Chicago (neurobiology)?

I saw on the results page that someone has called and the department confirmed that if you have not received an email at this point, you will not be getting an interview. Disappointed as well, but judging from the stats on other people who did not get interviews, competition must have been really intense this year. Good luck with the rest of the schools you applied to!!

I don't know of anyone who has heard back about Harvard PiN other than the two people who posted here in the last few hours. Does anyone else have any updates?

Of course. I was on wait-lists last year until the very last day of the acceptance deadline, and understand how frustrating it can be. I would absolutely notify ASAP.

Hi Guys! I would love any feedback on my application: Undergrad Institution: State school in Maryland - known for undergraduate researchMajor(s): Biology (BS) & Psychology (BA)GPA in Major: 4.00Overall GPA: 4.00Position in Class: No ranking at my school.Type of Student: Domestic, femaleGRE Scores (revised/old version):Q: 153 - 51%(rough I know)V: 161 - 88%W: 4.0 - 60% Research Experience: (1) 2.5 years Neuroscience lab - multiple projects, 2 summer grants, first author paper in progress, SfN presentations (2) 3 years Cognitive Neuroscience Lab - multiple projects, first author paper in progress (3) Month 3 so far with graduate research at prestigious university in northern Europe with a Fulbright scholarship Awards: Fulbright Graduate Student in Northern Europe in a neuro-oncology lab (prestigious university); Biology Faculty Award (at my undergraduate institution) which is awarded to one graduating senior in Biology; Honors Thesis Prize - awarded to the best honors thesis in the years graduating class, Honors College, multiple honors societies, Barry Goldwater honorable mention, merit-based scholarships that covered my tuition, Summa Cum Laude, Deans list every semester. Applicable work experience: Biology course - student laboratory manager (3.5 years) - prepped for the course bi-weekly LOR: Three very strong letters from neuroscience PI, cognitive neuroscience PI, and Honors college dean from undergrad. Relevant Info: I applied and got accepted to Neuroscience PhD programs last year and got into some really awesome programs. I have accepted and deferred at one of these programs but want to reapply to test the waters for the TOP schools while I am on my grant. This is the reason why you will not see safety schools on this list of graduate schools. Schools Applying to: Harvard (PIN) UCSF (Neuroscience) U Chicago (Neuroscience) Columbia (Neuroscience)
