Oh really? It was from Stanford neuro though, but it was sent shortly after application submission so it doesn't mean much.
During the week of January 7, 2019, the committees will start to contact
applicants who have been selected for an interview. The selected applicants will
be invited to interview, at our expense, arriving on Wednesday, February 27 and
departing on Sunday, March 3, 2019. This is our only interview session. Highly
qualified applicants residing in other countries and for whom a visit would not be
possible may be selected for a telephone interview. All applicants will be notified
of the decision on their application by the end of January.
