Happy new year!! Wishing everyone a wonderful 2021 and success in our grad school pursuits

I'm not sure on the interview number, but I am curious to hear about how many get accepted from interviews at Columbia if anyone else has information!

Just got an interview to Harvard's SHBT program! Not sure if anyone here applied to that, but thought I would share the news: Interview dates Jan 21st-23rd!!

I've been watching this video for preparation and it's been really helpful. Hope it helps! Good luck with your interview.

I talked with BCM, they're not done. I heard from MD Anderson on 12/21, but it appears they're sending stuff periodically so idk.

Really confused about NYU too. I do know that office of admissions is closed till Jan 4th though. 

I contacted the program coordinator!

UPenn NGG now says they’re still reviewing apps and they expect all invites to be sent by late January

RIP, no invite from UCSD. Congratulations to everyone who received invites today though.
A past cognitive science professor of mine told me UCSD has a bias against interviewing/admitting their own undergrads. I should have listened lol.

I think it depends on the program; though, I believe most would notify you if you were on the waitlist.  Some programs don't send rejections until March/April and some (albeit a smaller number) don't send a rejection at all.  

I don’t think they’ve sent out invites yet?

They didn’t mention how many interviews they sent out, but I don’t think they’re done sending out invites. Interview weekends are feb 12-13 and feb 26-27. There will be additional “live” events in mid January. 

I was told by the admissions committee member that only 40 interviews were offered!

I received an interview invite via the phone last week for Yale. Today it received another email from the DEI officer, and in it they mentioned that they received 400 applications this year. I know people are curious about the amount of applications, so just wanted to share

Also where is Sinai lol

For NYU Neuro (for those with interview requests), did you write that you preferred the Doctoral Program in Neural Science (CNS) or the Graduate Program in Neuroscience and Physiology (NI)? I know that the programs are merged now and have a single admissions committee, but applicants are considered for each program independently.

Just got an interview invitation for Columbia's Neurobiology and Behavior PhD Program! I'm still so shook. This is the best Christmas present I could ask for!!!

I heard back from Columbia Dec 24 at 9:41pm lol

Also got an invite from Columbia this morning! Best Christmas gift ever! International with US degree here. Good luck everyone!

I was wondering the same thing. But after submitting the survey, it said that the response was recorded so I would not worry. 

Oh nice, good to know the figures! I bet it will come out tonight or the day after Christmas.  I haven't heard about anyone actually getting an interview invite yet from NYU and if there are 55 interview invites, we would definitely see it on the Results page (Penn NGG had ~25 interview invites and they were markedly present on the results page when they came out).

Yeah, it's pretty bad! We broke gradcafe

yeah its been glitching weird since a couple days ago

Also yes, like every 2 days there are no updates.  Then the next day there are like 30 new messages that are mostly repeats/tests.
