Hopkins is the hub of biomedical research. IF you're considering academia, Hopkins name can help you out a lot.

I think you already know the answer and you just want to hear it from other people. Leave Toronto and go to Oxford. An Oxford degree opens way more doors whatever you want to do.

I don't really have first hand experience with the student life at UCL or NYU. Both are great options: good programs, great cities. But as you probably already know, doing science in the UK would be kinda different from the US. I'm not sure how computational UCL is (only because I didn't look into/apply to any school in the UK) but I know NYU is pretty strong in terms of computational work. I guess the best way now for both of us is to talk to people and find out what their experiences are...

Has anyone on waitlist for harvard neuro heard back yet? Thx!

Hi all, Thanks for reading this! I'm deciding between the Computation and Neural System PhD program at Caltech and the Brain and Cognitive Science PhD program at MIT. For background, I double major in Neuroscience and Cognitive Science with a minor in Applied Math and Stats in a top 10 university. Have been doing cognitive/systems/comp neuro research for 3 years. I'm interested in mechanisms of learning and decision-making, broadly defined, and also cognition in general. That's pretty broad, and I'll narrow down what I want to do once I decide on my rotations. Both programs seem to be pretty good research fit, but I would like to know more about what your opinions/experiences are. Particularly I'm curious about the student life at both places. There's also a personal bit to it: my significant other works in LA and would love to have me move to Pasadena, but he is also willing to move to Boston/Cambridge if I do decide to attend MIT (his work is flexible). But he would like us to be in California eventually. I'm not sure how this should factor into my decision process. Thanks in advance for any reply!

how does the waitlist system work for MIT? Are you sure it'd be next year? Maybe you'd get in sometime in April.

seems like MIT bcs decisions are made. Expect phone calls from POIs. Official email not out yet.

Has anyone heard back from mit bcs?

just curious. Don't know if anyone heard back yet

anyone who interviewed at caltech cns or neurobio heard back?

If you didn't attend Harvard interview 1/17-1/20 that's probably a rejection. Sorry about that!

Hi do you know if Stanford has done sending emails to everyone? Haven't heard anything from them. Thx!
