I'm interested in the interplay between neural circuits and behavior, and I want to focus more on how these circuits are transformed in disease states like schizophrenia, but I want to keep an open mind for grad school.  Your research interests sound very interesting which schools did you apply to?

I'm from around philadelphia, and I would love to be at a fantastic school like Penn.

I am interested in circuit neuroscience but from a cellular and molecular perspective. specifically interested in how changes in molecular expression (in disease and/or development) alter neural communication and signaling and how these changes translate to neurological, neurodegenerative, and behavioral disorders
Going into school, I am planning on keeping an open mind  

For a change of topic while we wait...
What area of research and techniques are you guys interested in? 
I primarily am interested in simulations of Systems of neurons and detecting patterns that arise

Yeah based on previous years it looks like most schools extend invites all the way through the middle of january, I think it's because there are obviously going to be conflicting interviews for some people so they can't attend. so if you didn't hear back, don't lose hope! you may be on a waitlist you don't know about, im in the same boat  

I heard from a PI i know there that the BMS program has flexibility in that you can join a neuro lab through the joint program. It's totally up to you whether you want a neuro-only track or the option to do both! Both are great choices!!

Just got an interview for UCSD neuro!!

Another one for UCSD neuro!! Pumped! Got the email ~2 hours ago though so maybe it was a mass batch? 

I'm hoping they still are... They did say 18th - 20th.

A friend of mine in the program said the admissions director is still sending out emails. I am not very optimistic tbh but at least wait till the end of the day EST. Let's pray for each other

AHHHHHHH I got another one from Harvard PiNNNNNNNNNNNN.
Their interview dates are Jan 17 to 20!

I didn't get an interview for UCSD. I got one at another school. I was just hoping for UCSD since it says "Under Review."

UCSD biological sciences came out yesterday

Just got an interview with MIT (bcs)!!! I got an email from a POI and they said official emails will come out soon! 
 
Dates are March 7-8. Pretty stoked

I'm not sure about Biology, but for UCSD Neuroscience the dates are Feb 26th - March 1st. I found this snooping around their events page!

Got a Berkeley invitation while on the airplane!! Very excited. There are two interview sessions feb 10-12 or feb 24-26

Got an interview request from UO Biology (Neuroscience) about 30 min ago! They said their interviews are Feb. 21st to 22nd!

Not yet.. I’m about to get on a plane but I’m glad I won’t be able to check my phone haha 

I just got an email from WashU DBBS!! Don't have interview dates yet (but their website lists Jan 11 or 25 so). Guys this is my top choice I can't believe it!!

this is the BIGGEST mood

Ugh I need to stop refreshing my email... my heart jumps every time i get a notification. stupid stores need to stop emailing me I DONT CARE ABOUT THE SALE YOU'RE HAVING I JUST WANNA GET INTO GRAD SCHOOL 

trying to wait patiently but nothing yet! 

Lots of overlap for our schools! U Penn is sending out another round of invites this Friday.
