Yes, I received an interview request from GPN yesterday.

Hello everyone! I am excited to be done with applications! Time to wait for interview emails (hopefully haha). I'm worried that I only applied to top programs, but I want to stay in or near Boston due to ties with the community. Undergrad: US Top 40 University Undergrad Majors: B.S.(s) Behavioral Neuroscience and Chemistry Undergrad GPA: 3.3 Masters: University in the top 15 Neuroscience Graduate Programs Masters Major: M.S. Neuroscience with thesis Masters GPA: 3.7 Undergrad Research Experience: 3 internships and 2 co-ops (6th month internships) in various biotech and pharmaceutical companies performing a variety of research from pharmacology to molecular/cellular work to systems neuroscience. 1 year in an academic lab at my university (brain imaging). Post Grad Research Experience: 1.5 years at a biotech company performing pharmacology and molecular/cellular research in rare genetic diseases Masters Research: 1.5 years in systems neuroscience lab completing a thesis Publications/Posters: 2 co-author publications in press and 1 co-author publication under review (all from my academic lab). In terms of posters: 5 first author posters (local) and 5 mid author posters (3 local and 2 at SFN) Awards/Fellowships: I have a small NSF grant for entrepreneurship. This does not carry over to a PhD program, I completed the fellowship. LORs: I believe I have three strong ones: 1 from my current masters lab, 1 from my undergrad lab and 1 from my supervisor at my company Personal Statement: I feel like it is fairly strong. I've edited 30+ times and fellow grad students and professors have edited it. Applications: Boston University, Tufts University, Harvard University, MIT, Northeastern University, New York University and Columbia University. Should I be worried??
