Same with me (but on Monday)!!! Congrats and see you in Ithaca possibly!

I hope your Cornell interview went well! I also just wanted to say that your Crash Bandicoot drawing was exquisite?

Hi EEB peeps! I got an admit from Notre Dame Biological Sciences (EEB area of study) on Wednesday! I’m extremely excited that I’m definitely going to grad school in the fall and it also takes some pressure off my interview next week since I only applied to two schools. I’m also surprised to hear back so quickly. The interviews were at the very beginning of January though which is early so I guess the whole application review process just happened earlier than most other schools. I wish everyone all the best as the acceptances continue to roll out over the next few months!!

Thank you so much for the response! I’m still stressing but not quite as much anymore?

Hi! I’m also attending the Cornell interview weekend and don’t know anyone else who is! Congrats on all your interviews so far. I’ve had one online interview day with Notre Dame so far and it was honestly pretty fun and not too stressful. Did you get another email with more info once you responded to the Cornell email invitation saying you would attend?

I’m not even in neuro (lol), but I’m waiting to hear back from a different Cornell Ithaca program. I can’t even find anyone mentioning they’ve heard back about any Ithaca program yet. Past years invites for most Ithaca programs went out in the Dec 17-Dec 23 range depending on the year, so maybe next week?

@darklings I think this response is for your post!:)

I saw some Yale interview and rejection posts yesterday and some Harvard interview posts today but different tracks could send out invites at different times. Seems like no one has posted about hearing anything from Cornell yet (for every program) except for Weill Cornell programs. In past years invites for programs at the Ithaca campus seem to have gone out Dec 17ish-Dec 23ish.

Got a Notre Dame Biological Sciences interview invitation today:)

Hi EEB folks! This is my first post here so I have no idea what I’m doing but I’ll give it my best shot! I’m Canadian and completing my undergraduate studies in Canada but am applying to PhDs in the USA and Masters in Canada. Like the original poster, I’m also interested in global change ecology and ecophysiology. More specifically, I have been working on research projects here at my undergrad institution that focus on vegetation phenology in terrestrial ecosystems. my current project focusses on phenology trends in temperate deciduous forests and tests novel methods that can be used to track phenological transitions in these ecosystems. In my graduate studies, I hope to continue to research tree/forest ecosystem structure and function, potentially switching up my research to focus on tropical forests where phenology and global change impacts are less understood. I am also interested in doing more large-spatial-scale research using remote sensing and GIS data from satellites or airborne sensors. I have applied to Notre Dame Bio, Cornell EEB, and Purdue Bio, since I am interested in their PIs whose research combines plant ecology and remote sensing. I also still have to submit a few applications to Canadian schools. I’d love to hear more about all of your research/research interests/application experiences so far since I love hearing about new ecology topics and also listening to people talk about their passions.
