    I received an interview invite from Scripps in Florida on 1/11, not sure if they all went out at once though!
  2. BlondeScience
    Hmm ok I haven't heard back from her so I'll follow up, thanks

    Hey have you heard back about flight arrangements yet?
  4. BlondeScience
    Hi! I received one for Florida as well. The costs are covered, I emailed the coordinator for help arranging my flights but haven't heard back yet.
  5. BlondeScience
    Me too! Bummer ?

    I received an interview invite for their Florida campus this morning! It's February 10th-13th

    Same huge bummer but still holding out that some other invitations will roll in.

    Just went and checked my status and it still said "Submitted" so I clicked and apparently one of my recommenders didn't submit their letter. I sent my application almost a month ago. ?

    Hmm I have not heard back yet I also applied after they extended their deadline to December 1st (I think either 11/29 or 11/30). I'm not sure if you did the same but thinking that could also affect when invites get sent? Either way if I hear anything good or bad I'll let you know!
  10. BlondeScience
    I did!

    This! Also, if you use Gmail, my UMass interview invite came through my "Promotions" tab and not my regular inbox. Could have easily missed it if I didn't check.
  12. BlondeScience
    Same here!

    Thanks so much for the suggestion! Drexel was actually on my list of schools to look into so it's helpful to hear from someone who's having a positive experience. I will definitely check out their programs!

    Thanks a lot! Going to a small state school was challenging because of the lack of research opportunities so unfortunately my academic background is not as strong as a lot of other students. I'm hoping my other strengths help me catch the attention of the ad comms. What's your background?

    No way that's awesome! The CMM program is one of my tops but also one of my highest reaches haha. I would prefer it to the neuro program at JHU though either would make me happy. I just really like the clinical aspect of CMM and haven't seen a lot of programs like it. I think their interviews start pretty early in January so hoping for good news for both of us!

    Thanks for your input! I agree that it's top heavy, I'm putting a lot of faith into my research experience since my GPA is not competitive. My experience is in neurodegenerative disease research but I'm not tied to it; I'm interested in clinical neuroscience in a number of areas as well as neuropharmacology. I'm super interested in neuropsychiatric research though I may not be as appealing since I'm not as knowledgeable in the space. I'm also interested in translational research and have applied to a couple of programs more specific to that and not neuro. If you have any suggestions send them my way!
