zzzz233 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 2 minutes ago, earsnbrains said: thanks! So i got a reply from the admissions director what i said in my email: "I also applied to CNAP, and was wondering if there was any coordination in the admissions/interview process between the two programs. Would it be best to wait until I (potentially) hear back from them before committing to the Neurobio interview weekend for any reason? I'm sure its relatively common to apply to both programs, so please let me know if you have any more information about what applicants in similar situations have done in the past." the reply: "I will check in with CNAP to see where your application stands with them. In the meantime, please proceed with scheduling your visit with LaDonna. I look forward to meeting you in January." So yes, its separate invites with separate weekends. I'll let you know if i get more info from him once he talks to CNAP. good luck! I see!!! Thank you a lot for your information!!! Good luck with everything!!

Yiyu Liu Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I'm a psychology student without much experience with neuroscience and I just received Duke CNAP interviw invitation. But I don't know the exact interview date as I'm an international student so they said in the email that they'll try to set a few skype interviews for me in January. I found that someone has posted interview invites from MIT, which makes me feel a little freak out. Would you mind sharing what division are you applying to? Cognitive Science or Systems Neuroscience? I'm applying to cognitive science and wish there's still a chance. zzzz233 and alwaysNeuro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veldter Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 Hey everyone, you're probably as stressed as I am so I'll pass on advice that has been given to me (repeatedly) by my loved ones: stop checking this thread over the weekend. Schools will resume sending out invites on Monday. Give your mind a break! yash13177, Ntwadumela and liz13 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They asked for me to email back to organize interview weekend travel plans by the 18th if thats any indication? The email said "placing you in a highly select group of interviewees from more than two hundred candidates" so maybe they sent out priority interview invites (please dont take that the wrong way, see below*) first and are waiting to see who accepts the invite from that group to send out a second round? I have no idea though. From what i can gather from gradcafe results, in some years they've sent out more than 1 wave of interview invites and in others they haven't so your guess is as good as mine. *if it makes you feel any better, I wrote my honors thesis on the representation of eye movement cues and theres like, 4 PIs (including someone who was in the same PhD lab as my undergrad thesis advisor, they're still super close) there that study eye movement cues which is crazy niche so if there is some sort of "priority invite round" system that's probably why i was in it since my background fit so unusually well.

Thanks again! You shouldn’t be discouraged if you haven’t heard from your home institution: a ton of my friends got denied admission where they were working because they wanted their students to explore the field but it’s nothing personal! They want their students to not fall back into just being a research tech earsnbrains 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised that they would send results on a Saturday. You can always email them to ask. So far admissions reps have been very helpful and willing to answer questions.

Ah I see, I applied to Neuro and BMS. The timing of their interviews seems to vary a good amount year to year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
