    They interviewed me in January and wait-listed me in February. You are right, it is kind of weird. Either they have a lot more people rejecting offers than they expected, or they are not happy about the candidates they have on their wait list. So are they going to interview you before or after the April 15 deadline?

    Yeah its hard to say.

    I think they will miss the 15th deadline, unless they can do the interviews really quickly (three 1-on-1 with PIs).

    Congrats! Did they let you know if they are going to accept any applicants from the wait list?

    Thanks! They didn't say anything, but it's kinda weird that a waitlist of interviewed candidates may exist, yet they are hosting more interviews (I've never been interviewed btw). Not sure how to interpret this.

     

    What's your situation?

    Hi everyone,

    I am an international student and have interview requests from UT Austin Neuroscience and Emory University.

    I heard from Austin on 17th and Emory on 18th. I just heard  (19th) from UT Austin Psychology for a Skype interview 

    Applied to : Austin (Psych and Neuro), Emory, Georgia tech (BME), UChicago, BU, UCBerkeley, NYU, UMD CP, CSHL, Hopkins(BME) 

    Same with UT Austin, both neuro and Psych. Congrats! 

     

    Is neuro a Skype interview or school visit for you?

    To the people who haven’t heard anything, stay positive! There’s still time this round and if you don’t hear anything this round, there’s always next year! I got rejected from every program I applied to last year, but worked hard and let it motivate me and this year got an interview offer from every program I applied to. 

    Mind elaborating on your stats & programs?

    International here, applying with my partner. I hope to get advice on whether I am too specific with research interests OR ambitious with schools? Thanks!

    • International, asian male from Singapore
    • B.Sc. in Life Sciences (from the top college here)
    • GPA: 4.65/5.0 (summa cum laude)
    • GRE: 163V 165Q 4.0W
    • Interests: Optical methods to understand primate/mice vision (i.e. 2P, Ca2+ imaging, optogenetics)
    • Research Experience: 4 years in a human vision lab (behavioral psychophysics), 1 year in a primate prefrontal working memory lab (microelectrodes).
    • Publications/Posters: 1 first author publication in eNeuro (accepted), 1st author preprint (primate work), 1st author poster at SfN 2019 (primate work)
    • Letters: 3 strong letters from local faculty who got PhDs from US Ivies.
    • Applying to (preferred): UT Austin, UCSD/Salk, Stanford, Columbia, MIT (most concerned about these, in that order)
    • Applying to (less-preferred): UT Health @ Houston, Baylor College of Medicine, UCLA, Caltech,  NYU, CSHL, Harvard, UChicago.
