    AcePlace got a reaction from blackprodigy in 2019 Neuroscience PhD Applicants and Admission Results   
    Got an email for a Skype interview this morning from Mayo Clinic!! I know someone said that they were done sending out invites earlier, but just wanted to let y'all know that there is still hope! Also, they are only doing a few in-person interviews in MN and apparently none in FL. Skype interview set for the week of Jan 28- Feb 1. 
    Very excited to have some hope after getting rejected from Duke on 12/28. 
    Still have not heard anything from WashU, UT Austin, Vanderbilt, or UAB.

    Yeah waiting has been hard for me too. I think everyone panics after hitting that submit button, you never feel good enough etc. I've tried to dedicate time to self care or exploring new hobbies. It really has taken my mind off of the "omg no one is gonna give me an interview." thoughts.
     I totally believe in you! Please lmk if you get Vandy or UAB. Maybe we'll be on the same interview weekend!  I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas (if you celebrate) and NYE.

    Hey girl! Don't sweat that you haven't heard from anywhere. I applied to UAB too and my application doesn't even close until Dec 31st so maybe yours is the same? Your GPA is good, you've got solid research experience, you're a student athlete and were a TA. Those are all great things. (When did you sleep? haha!)
    I heard back from Vandy's IGP program yesterday. Most of these schools are reviewing applicants in small batches, so I wouldn't freak out yet. Vanderbilt alone fielded over 1,100 apps this year for IGP, it takes time to go through those apps. I'm sure all of the other schools are dealing with a high volume of applications and getting through them can be time consuming. Plus, Christmas is coming up and NYE. Some professors on review committees may be really busy and not be able to dedicate a ton of time to reviewing apps etc. Seriously, you've got a solid resume so don't doubt yourself! I would only start worrying if you don't hear from any programs by late feb-early March. Most schools send out final decisions for applicants in Mid March and most interviews are completed by then as well.
     
    Best of luck! Please let me know if you hear from Vandy and if you get an interview, what weekend you pick. We may be on the same weekend!
