Good luck! I actually hadn't heard anything from NYU after getting waitlisted so I just assumed it was a rejection. I feel like now that it's April more people will be committing and declining other offers.

I got off the waitlist for NYU earlier this week but had already committed to another program. It seems like a lot of people are still deciding, though, so it's not impossible to get off waitlists!

Finally got my rejection from Columbia yesterday. Not surprised but still a little disappointed. At least that makes my choice easy. I'm going to UCSF!

I just got an email that I was waitlisted for NYU. Not super surprised since I have more of a developmental focus and they don't have a ton of developmental labs.

UCSF is weird about who they admit, though. You never know! Fingers crossed!

Oh man, that's stressful. Good luck if you're waiting to hear back from them! After my Cornell rejection I was so scared that I was interviewing badly and would get rejected from UCSF too.

I applied for BMS and I interviewed the second weekend. Not sure if neuroscience decisions are out yet.

I got accepted to both UCSF and University of Washington! It feels like such an immense privilege to have two amazing schools to pick from. After getting rejected without interviews from every program last year (for MD/PhD, but still), I was feeling really down about myself and my chances of ever being accepted anywhere. I decided to cancel my last interview and now I'm just waiting to hear back from Columbia.

Could go either way? Good luck!

Got the rejection from Weill Cornell just now. I thought two of my interviews went well but maybe the others weren't impressed. Oh well. Congratulations to everyone that got an offer!

Just got a call that I was accepted to University of Michigan PIBS! It was my favorite program so far so I'm super excited!

I heard back about a week after the first interview weekend so I'm assuming that they decide fairly quickly.

Neurobiology and behavior

It might be track specific. I assume it applies to everyone honestly

I interviewed during the second dates and they told us on Friday that they'll be making offers in the next two weeks.

They said February 28th - March 1st. I was just immediately suspicious of the email because of how late it was but I suppose I should be happy!

I just got an interview invite from UCLA and it seems really weird because it's so much later than anyone else on the results page. Does anyone know if there was a waitlist or something? I had just assumed that I had gotten rejected

I think it's interesting that they're telling everyone different things. My email came from Wesley. Here's what mine said: We were able to extend very few offers of admission after our first open house and will make the vast majority of our offers after our second open house in two weeks. We remain very enthusiastic and we will be considering your application together with all others at that time.

I got one yesterday saying the same thing except I wasn't asked if I was planning on accepting any other offers. I wonder how many people they accepted after the first round. I was told they extended "very few" offers and would be waiting until after their next interview weekend to make the majority of their offers.

Does anyone else who's interviewing at Weill Cornell have no idea how to access the interviewee portal? Maybe it's because I've never used Canvas before but I have no idea how to log in or look at anything. It's super weird that they didn't send us any instructions or even mention the Canvas account.

I got a list of faculty that I'm interviewing with today along with times but no real schedule of events. Not totally sure what's going on.

I got an email saying thank you for registering with Canvas but I didn't make it and no one reached out saying what to do with it. Did you go in and finish the registration process?

Received rejections from Rockefeller and UPenn this morning

I received an interview invitation but I wasn't able to make the initial date they gave me. When I emailed them about rescheduling, they said that there was an alternate interview weekend but that it was full and that they'd put me on the waitlist for it in case someone changed their mind. I'm just not sure how likely it is that someone who specifically asked for the alternate weekend would decide not to go. The deadline to decide was January 4th.

Is anyone else on the waitlist for the alternate interview date for UCSD BMS? I'm not sure how long to wait before reaching out again and asking for updates and I'm nervous that I won't be able to interview at all if I wait too long.
