    Yes, I got invited to the UCSD NGP in-person visit (Mar 23-25). They said only 35 of the interviewees were invited

    Feb 14-16 (virtual), and I'm not sure!

    I'm in the same situation with UW and Stanford. No idea which one I'd pick if both refuse to reschedule! I hope it works out for both of us.

    Ah I got the call from Stanford today!! So stoked, but the dates overlap with a different program I already committed to ?

    Oof I wish that they just sent them out all at once, so I'd know if it's a yes or no! Thanks and congrats!

    Congrats to both of you!! I'm just going to assume I got rejected. I don't think they interview very many people since they only accept around 20-25 each year.

    According to the Stanford biosciences PhD admissions FAQ: "During the week of January 9, 2023 (and the weeks that follow), the Home Programs will start to contact those applicants who have been selected for an interview. The selected applicants will be invited to interview virtually February 14-16, 2023. This will be our only interview session. Those admitted will be invited, at our expense, to an in-person visit March 16-19, 2023." I'm not sure about phone calls, but I wouldn't expect anything until next week Good luck!

    I completely agree with you. I didn't realize that being vague about where I'm interviewing would show disinterest in the program... I thought it would show that I just want to focus on THEIR program while I'm interviewing there, so that's good to know it can come off like I'm hiding something! Honestly, I just feel fortunate to have interviews at top schools because I don't think I'm a "stand out" applicant by any means.

    Thanks for this! I have gotten a wide variety of advice. Some people have even mentioned it's good to be "non-committal" to have a better chance of getting departmental fellowship offers. But I think they said that because I have a tendency of acting way too interested in everything lol. Someone else told me that if I'm asked where else I applied or where else I'm interviewing, I should be vague. I plan to err on the side of being too interested though.

    I was invited to interview for MIT BCS, and they are only doing one round of interviews (virtually) in March. If you're admitted, you are invited to go visit in-person "at a time that's convenient to you with costs covered by the department." I agree that at a lot of top programs, you should not count on getting accepted if you are offered an interview. A friend of mine a few years back was interviewed at several top schools and was rejected from all of them. I plan on practicing quite a bit for my interviews because I don't want to have regrets!

    For real! Pretty much every invitation email has said that they received a record number of applicants. I consider myself very lucky to have more than 1 interview!

    I wouldn't trust the spreadsheet (anyone can update it and it seems wrong sometimes), but I did receive an invite to UCSD on a mass email. I have no clue if they are done with invites and just haven't finished rejecting people or if they are going to do another round of invites. Good luck!

    I was invited to interview for both the UW Neuroscience and Duke Neurobiology programs. I'm not sure if they are done sending invites, but the UW interview is on Feb 14-16 and Duke is on Feb 2 or Feb 3 (they haven't decided which one yet).
  30. aspiringphd01
    Those interview dates overlap with Duke Neurobiology, so maybe it's good if I just get rejected!
  31. aspiringphd01
    yay congrats!! I still haven't gotten rejected or invited to interview lol
