I spoke to the admissions director and he says they pride themselves on getting their invites out by xmas. Looks like if you dont get it today chances are slim to none.

neuronerd95 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Thank you for submitting your application to the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT. We are currently processing application materials and appreciate your patience. Due to the large amount of admissions materials, it may take up to four weeks to complete our initial sort. Applications will remain under review through the months of December and January. Once all materials have been sorted, we will begin sending official interview invitations to selected candidates. Interview will take place on March 7 and 8, 2019 and will be by invitation only. Post-interview decisions will be sent in mid-March and final decisions will be sent in late March. We appreciate your patience and cooperation during this time. Graduate Admissions Committee Does this email seem to indicate being put on a waitlist then? Apparently some people have already gotten interview notification invites & rejections... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called the office the other day and it seemed like they are going to send it the invites in January. But I am not sure about that given the interviews are in January Okay. So I called Columbia again. They said the committee is still deciding and you should hear from them in yearly January about the interviews. I am going to stop checking grad cafe till then and enjoy the break. ltlltl2006 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanthecity Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Is it safe to assume we won't be hearing back from Albert Einstein, Rockefeller, and Columbia until January? Looks like we can all take a breather for now... Emily2715 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compneuronerd Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I wish all the programs would have let us know before the break so we could take our minds of it and enjoy the break. It’s crazy zzzz233, _kb, k8e and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspiringscientist Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 3 hours ago, neuronerd95 said: Also I know that Stanford sent out an email saying that they would begin contacting applicants during the week of January 7th, but does that just mean the official invite? I just ask, because I see that people are posting interviews for other departments of stanford biomedical. Ah I don't even know why i'm asking - just super nervous haha Hey, I received a Stanford invite for Dev Bio yesterday, but the home programs all run on their own schedule. I don't even think Dev Bio is done sending invites honestly. Don't get freaked out because a few people heard - looking at the results page it seems like a small number trickle in around this time but then the vast majority of biosciences invites go out around Jan 10.

Thank you!!! and in defence of the neuro programs, I think there are a lot more people interested in neuro than my specific specialization choice of developmental bio, so they probably just have a lot more applications to comb through, you'll all hear back in the next month I'm sure!!!
