I saw one person post about University of Colorado @ Boulder (Behavioral), but did anyone here apply there and has anyone heard back? Anyone know if UW Madison has a second round of interview invites coming?

I believe Yale is more traditionally the first week of January, but someone correct me if I am wrong.

I’m still not sure of my count right now! I have 3 in limbo, with strong year-long contact with the POI at one.

Which ones have you seen send out rejections for neuroscience (besides Northwestern)? I don't feel like any of the ones I've applied to have yet, which puts me in limbo on a bunch. But yes, to answer your question, I'd imagine that to be the case...

Same. I was told an email will follow at some point, though...

I always wonder why the programs wait to send rejections? I guess they’re gauging the response from their top picks (who likely are the top picks of others).

I really don't know, sorry!

I can tell you that this program basically almost requires you to be a second-year PhD before you begin. Successful applicants must also have an exemplary record -- sometimes from high school on -- in a life sciences major, and usually have multiple top-level publications, numerous years of experience, nearly perfect scores across the board. I know that there is a "back channel" into PiN, but I don't quite understand how it works, so I don't want to post about it publicly. Profs and doctoral students in the program will basically tell you, so it's an "open secret".

I would guess the 17 relates to the acceptance slots, based on several talks with my PI, who is on the admissions committee. He indicated a similar number was expected before the deadline.

Thank you both! Good to know! I did not receive a rejection nor an invitation...does this mean a rejection is imminent? Does anyone know about Colorado-Boulder (Behavioral Neuro), by the way?

This is almost 200 more than last year with less slots (they had 20 last year and I think took a few more than that).

Does anyone know if Wisconsin-Madison does invites in waves, or all at once? What about Princeton or Dartmouth?
