I'm new to gradcafe, sorry for being late to the party.
I am a current CRC at a hospital in NYC and have applied to 5 Neuroscience PhD programs (first time applying):
Mount Sinai, NYU, Albert Einstein, Weill Cornell, WashU in St. Louis, Columbia
I have interviews at Mount Sinai & Cornell (so excited). Rejected thus far from WUSTL and haven't heard back from the others. I'm thinking NYU & Columbia is out but who knows! lmk if you wanna connect, i'm rather friendly and love talking science
