Congratulations! Wish you all the best for your upcoming interview(s). I hope I get an interview from Einstein. Definitely want to stay in the NYC area since my wife just started her law school here

Thank you, that's so kind!  I also hope you get an interview.  They have rolling admissions so I think there is still a huge chance!

For all of you bitting your nails off waiting to hear back from Stanford - I emailed them and this is what they just (one min ago) said :

 

Dear .___,

In the coming week, the committees will start to contact those applicants who have been selected for an interview. The selected applicants will be invited to interview, at our expense, arriving on Wednesday, March 4 and departing on Sunday, March 8, 2020. This is our only interview session. Highly qualified applicants residing in other countries and for whom a visit would not be possible may be selected for a telephone interview.

In general, if an applicant has not heard about a possible invitation by late January, it is unlikely that he or she will be invited to Stanford or admitted. Applicants who are not selected for an interview will receive a letter which states that no further action will be taken on their application by the Committee on Graduate Admissions and Policy.

Best regards,

Stanford Biosciences

What if you are not reachable through phone ? I am currently traveling.

I imagine "contact" includes by phone and by email

UC San Diego has send rejections

[LilAstro]

UPenn is done sending out invites ?

[Mimititi]

Has anyone on here gotten the R from Brandeis? I saw that some interviews went out early, but one person posted they got a rejection. I had an idea that they might wait til the end to send out rejections. Anyone have any clues?

[spineyneuron]

Anyone else not heard anything from Hopkins? Saw that some interviews went out, then some more and someone said they got a rejection?

[Mimititi]

UW Madison NTP just sent an email saying that some invites went out and that they will be making decisions in early March and will be in touch by then or before. Anyone else get this?

Same here...

Might be late info but I JUST got an official rejection from UW Seattle! International here, which might explain why things are a bit lagging behind.

I did not receive this email, but I did receive an interview invite mid-December.

I did not get the interview (I only applied to one POI so not a surprise) but I did get this. I’m assuming they are holding applicants in reserve or just not making final choices until after they see who accepts offers.

Just got a rejection email earlier this afternoon from American University's brain, cognition, and neuroscience PhD program.

I got a rejection from Hopkins Neuro but in the email the person said "faculty expressed interest" in my application with respect to their Psych program and would I be interested in having them review it. So I said yes ?

How do you know? I kinda assumed I would be rejected, but I was holding onto some hope :(

I emailed them about my application. They may have a small reserve, but it seemed like they're done. They did say they had over 500 applicants for the program and they only offer a handful of spots.

I got the same email! Don't know what this means, but at least it is not a rejection.

To the UMass Amherst question above several days ago - I just got the interview invitation earlier today. Hopefully they are not done yet.
