Hello, Has anyone heard from Berkeley? Looking on post from last year it appears they send out notices later. Thought about this whole applying to grad school and feel horrible. But, I was told once that even if I am having a bad day someone else is having it worse! Maybe there is some truth in that statement.

Thanks, I visited the site, maybe I still have a shot. If I don't get in this year I'll know to apply to 123,987,456 schools, just kidding, but will apply to several more. I am not going to lose hope.

Thanks, I felt like I was a strong candidate, but I see several who have received interviews to the schools I applied. Do they send out interviews over a period of time, or all at once? Haven't seen anyone posting for Berkely neuroscience yet, maybe there is hope. I'll keep my fingers crossed. One thing against me is I am white male 23, from what I have heard that is not a feather in my cap for being interviewed, is it true?

On an average how many colleges should I have applied? I applied to 4 for neuroscience PHD and have heard that I should have applied to more. Thought I had a good chance of getting in and now feel like crawling in a hole. If people apply to a bunch of schools and then make their selection, what happens to those of us who could have had a better shot if people would be more selective of where they really want to go instead of applying all over the place? I already know the answer I am screwed!

I have applied to 4 colleges for neuroscience, not looking good right now. USCF and UW was a no, still hoping for others. Funny I thought with a 4.0 GPA over 1450 GRE and 6 months lab work it would help. Anyone out there know how this works better than I? How many schools do people normally apply?
