Heya! ? I’m here for neuroscience! Excited to start my journey at UVa!!

The date is April 15th, which I guess is the national deadline in America for accepting or declining grad schools! ?

Yes! I did! It’s only been a couple days since the 13th, so they could still be in the process of deciding! They might have a different technique for Skype interviews? ? I know other schools appeared to wait for everyone to be finished before sending out admission acceptances! Again, best of luck!!! ?

Hey! I’m sure they understand! I actually was pretty nervous when I interviewed with them (I stutter a lot when I get nervous, so ended up repeating myself multiple times!) And yes! I interviewed with them their first week and heard from them about a week and a half later, but I’m not sure when their last interview week was! Good luck!!?

No problem! And sorry this is late ? I applied to integrative neuroscience and was able to speak with several POIs I mentioned. I didn’t do a panel interview, but had mostly individuals related to neuroscience in some way. Other applicants I saw said that they had mostly people similar to what training group they mentioned! With only one or two people from different fields who probably were on the admissions committee!

No problem! And actually, I’m applying for fall 2019 admission, so I’m not that sure about acceptance yet ? I’ll know in several weeks ?

Hey! I interviewed with PULSe, and I would say to just be yourself and ask a lot of questions about the program and faculty research! The faculty are very friendly! Talk about your research experience as well! I don’t know about their post-interview acceptance rate, but on their website, it says they let in about 30 students on average? Anyway, good luck!

Quick question and kind of random ? I’m from a pretty small college (like super small! I can walk the whole place with my eyes closed ?), and in a couple days it’s going to be my first time going to a “big” university for an interview weekend! I was wondering if I have to find all the interview locations myself or if there’s going to be someone to help me? I looked at the school map, and some of the locations seem pretty far from each other. I’m really worried about being late to an interview if I get lost ☹️ Is anyone else in the same boat as I am?

Actually same here! I got a formal invite from UVA as well! ?This is my first time applying to any grad school programs, so I’m actually pretty excited to get an invite at all! And I’ve also been pretty anxious seeing all the other invites and whatnot, but your resume looks really good! Wishing you the best! ?
