Yeah I think for neuroscience UCL is more competitive than Oxbridge for sure. Yeah I agree with that-but oh well is worth the try. I applied to few US programs : Harvard (didn't get the email today so probably a reject), CSHL, Columbia and Stanford- so I guess there is still time to hear back from these 3. what about you?

As a UK student not sure I agree with Oxbridge/UCL being easier to get into. Indeed UCL is one of the best neuroscience centres in the world and has amazing PhD programs - but most of them only offer around 5 places per year- so the competition is intense. But it never hurts to try- I believe some Oxford and UCL programs are still accepting applications until early January. Goodluck:)

did anybody apply to CSHL? if so, are we expected to hear back before Christmas?

Congrats!! Would you mind sharing your info?

does Berkeley send their invitations in batches normally? Just saw somebody received one yst.
