They haven't sent out any schedules or anything... I'm very concerned.... You won't be getting a schedule until you arrive for most interviews.

Just heard from the Oxford Wellcome Trust 4-year Programme today! I'm interviewing on Jan. 31. It'll be a 10-minute presentation about my research, followed by 20 minutes of discussion with a panel of faculty. They will reimburse me up to £500 in travel expenses to and from the UK. Aaaaahhh, I'm so excited!!! This is my dream program! space8 and _kb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 4 years of full-time experience, over 20 publications, 4.0 in my MS, 3.0 undergrad GPA, strong letters of recommendation and lots of teaching/ presentation experience but I keep receiving rejections. So far only 1 interview and 7 rejections... I'm still waiting to hear from 5 more schools, but I'm starting to feel pretty discouraged and confused. Anybody else in the same boat? I'm in a similar boat. Your best bet is to reach out to some of your schools and find out why all the rejections. I emailed one school so far and they gave me a fairly solid breakdown on why I haven't had much success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you phrase that email? I'm thinking about doing the same once I receive official rejections, but I'm not really sure how to phrase it without sounding whiny about not getting in. ?

I would say something along the lines of "although I'm disappointed, I hope to learn from the experience and improve my chances in the future.

However, it looks like you applied to the Brain & Cognitive Sciences department, which is separate from Neuro, if I'm correct. This is terribly embarrassing, but I managed to apply and interview without realizing they were separate programs. I am being considered for the neuroscience PhD through the medical school and the DelMonte Institute of Neuroscience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
