Expand 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

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? Expand 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.
NeuroNerd101 Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Hi Everyone! Is Drexel Neuro officially done with invites? Thanks!! marie17 1

Expand 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. ?

If you have any advice on why I was rejected and how to improve, I would be grateful to hear it" space8 1

However, it looks like you applied to the Brain & Cognitive Sciences department, which is separate from Neuro, if I'm correct. Expand 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.
lil13 Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Anyone heard from BU GPN yet? I know they like to release really late and also got over 500 applicants this year but it's starting to get get quite late in the app season... Thanks! 1.21_Gigawatts and blarn_4349 2
