Yes, but to get it early, we had to email the dept and ask.
Oh I see, I’ll try to email them tomorrow.
Id rather hear about their decision now instead of waiting ? -
Hi future neuroscientists,
Did anyone get a rejection from UCSD?? I saw some rejections on the results page and I am curious to know if me not receiving a rejection yet means anything ?

same boat, feeling super down but you know what they say about misery...
fingers and toes crossed that @sirtuingirl is right about waitlists. on the other hand i'd expect even wait-listed folks would be hearing something? or do wait-list interviews happen after an entire round of interview and offer letters? not sure how this works
????????????????
I hope so, but if people reject wouldn’t it make sense for the program admission committee to send admission offers to people who they had already interviewed (that’s only my analogy)??
But hey let’s stay optimistic because I really don’t wanna repeat the application process it was such a stressful time ?

There is hope because most programs have gotten a lot more applicants than last year and hence review of applications in some places is taking longer. Also, people this year have applied to more programs than prior years because they kept hearing that this cycle is more competitive. Hence, more admission offers will be declined and more people will get in off the wait list.
Which programs/universities did you apply to? Are you an American student, International Student studying at a US university or International student studying at international university?
Hopefully ???
I mean I expected this cycle to be difficult but definitely did not see that coming..
I am an American student studying in the us. I applied to Harvard, Stanford, UCSD, and UCI as a safety school (turns out there’s no such thing as safety school lol)
-
Anyone else did didn’t get any interview invitations at all??? Please tell me I’m not alone ?
I’m super bummed. I had everything lined up as I’ve I was gonna start grad school next fall, plus I have extensive research experience, first author publications, good gpa, relevant undergrad course work..
Is there still hope at this point ☹️
I don’t know what went wrong. I would really like to work on what I failed to meet to be stronger applicant in the future..

Well that's the problem, I already have my bachelor in biology (3.57) and a MS in biochemical sciences (3.93) and have +5 years in research with two publications in preparation both in high impact journals and as first author, my "deficiency" is I'm an international applicant. I guess I'll just start the phd in my own country or just quit science and work as a teacher full time. Thanks and good luck in your phd
I am an American student and I have my bachelors in psych (3.69). I have 4 years of neuroscience research experience as an undergraduate, and 2+ years of neuroscience and brain imaging research experience as a full time research specialist. 1 first author publication and two other publications in prep. Have lots of involvement in the field and was invited to give talks at formal conference and other relative things.
And yet i did not receive a single invitation this year.. the problem seems to be with this cycle not being an international student. Most schools waved their gre requirements because of covid and a lot more people applied. Also, most schools have limited spots for next year, so that seems to be a huge problem too. I know it’s super disappointing but please don’t give up on your dreams. There are a lot of people who apply twice and three times to get in and it’s totally fine!!

Hey guys!
I emailed one of the programs I applied to and they said that they’re in the first phase of the reviewing process and invitations..Anyone has any idea what this means?? Not sure if this is good or bad news ☹️
I’m wondering if other programs review the applications and send out invitations in phases as well

Has NYU just begun sending invites, or are they done? What about brown neuro and UCI cog science/ cog neuroscience?
I haven’t received anything from UCI either still waiting..

If anyone was looking out for UCI cog neuro invites, they haven't sent out any yet and have dispersed for the holidays. My POI informed me.
You mean for INP?? If so that’s the best news ever ???

Has anyone heard back from UC Irvine INP?? They sent out their invitations pretty early last year and the year before..
