  1. I’m feeling super bad about it. I thought my interviews went really well and they even said my application and rec letters really stood out. Feeling pretty devastated since they are my dream program
  2. Looks like it’s just people that didn’t receive an interview
  3. Did anyone else get asked to make a canvas account with Weill Cornell?
  4. I emailed the program coordinator and she told me that I am on the waitlist and should a position open up I would have an interview.
  5. From NYU "We have sent out interview invitations to our top candidates. We may send out additional interview offers at a later date but it is not guaranteed. Official decisions on all applications will be sent out later this spring."
  6. Waitlisted by Northwestern- this my second waitlist. So frustrated at least I have two interviews and one of them being my top choice.
  7. According to my PI, whose alma mater is also Weill Cornell, she said that they typically send out invites in one batch. There are 2 interview dates and both have an equal chance of an acceptance. The acceptance rate at this stage is just over 80% and is more to check for personality fit. The interviews are also held at the same time as other departments such as pharmacology and molecular bio.

  11. According to my PI, whose Alma Mater is Weill Cornell, she says they typically send all their invites in one day and have 2 3-day interview dates. Both interview dates are equal in chances of getting an acceptance. She said they(the neuroscience program) interview prospective students with the other departments (pharmacology, molecular bio, etc). She also said that acceptance is about 80% at this stage - more of a fit check.

  13. Have not head anything from Princeton; however, NYU Director told me they are still processing applications and that invitations will be sent over a period of time with rejections much after that.
  14. Got my first interview today! Still waiting to hear back from the other 5. But how should I prepare? And does anyone know Weill Cornell's acceptance rate of interviewees?
  15. NYU program director just told me that Applications are still being read and evaluated. Invitations are sent over a period of time and rejections don’t get sent to well after that.
  16. Got waitlisted for an interview at UW Madison. Anything I can do to increase my chances at this point?
  17. Thank you! Honestly I hoped this would quell my anxiety but still just as anxious. Guess I’ll have to wait and see it manifest to believe. Thank you so much for your kind words
  18. I've submitted all my applications and everything including LoRs are turned in. However, I'm very anxious about my chances. My PI thinks I'm a competitive candidate but, I am sure she is biased. So, I thought I would have some unbiased opinions. According to random chance (1-(.85)^9) I should be able to get into at least 1 of these programs about 77% of the time (.85 is the average % of all 9 programs rejection rate). But we all know that this isn't up to random chance. Background: I am a US Citizen. I feel very confident about my SoP. I've had that looked over by dozens of Profs and PhD students who have told me it is solid. I have contacted potential PIs at these programs. They have all said my research interests aligns with their labs and that they do have a spot in this coming cycle. The warmest response I have received was that they look forward to seeing my application - I am sure they say this to everyone though. Undergrad: Top 5 Liberal Arts College - BA in Biology GPA: 3.4 Research Experience: RA senior year in a neuro lab TA from sophomore year to senior year in both neuro and bio courses and labs Study abroad research semester Two year NIMH funded post bac research scientist (neuro lab) Posters: Presented 5 posters - All first author and several were international (including several SfN). Publications: First-authored manuscript submitted for review LORs: Two tenured Profs in neuro, and the other one from a PhD Lab instructor (bio). I have worked closely with all three and believe them to be strong LoR. Applying to: Neuro Programs at: Weill Cornell, Princeton, UPenn, Northwestern, UW Madison, UCLA, NYU, Vanderbilt, and CUNY.
