Does anyone know if Columbia plans to send out decisions this week or not? 

I got an email that they're meeting again this week to make final decisions, and should let us know soon. Not sure how soon though.

I know their last interview weekend is this week. 

Hi, so when did you hear back from UChicago? I thought their interviews were on the last weekend?

[Anonyneuron]

I saw a couple people got interviews to BU GPN. Should I hold onto any hope, or have all invites gone out?! 

[Neuro99]

Anyone who interviewed at CMU get word on a decision yet? They said they’d make the decision fairly quick but it’s been a couple weeks... paranoia is setting in hard.

I see, so intls are not considered in a separate 'queue'?

Well, unfortunately no. Decisions are made possibly considering all students interviewing - I think. Some schools might function differently. But I guess interviewing is already a good sign

Why don't you write to the department? When I wrote to them last week, I heard that there might be batches and that they were going to send out their first batch soon. Reaching out might help you ease your tension.

I received an offer this past Friday. I interviewed two weeks ago for their cancer biology program.

Thanks! I just asked them and they tell me that the decisions will come out at the end of next week? I am confused.

I'm still waiting for Harvard to reject me. 

I'm a second year PhD student. 

[NeuroArC]

Just wondering if anyone heard back after the Baylor college of medicine neuroscience interviews ? From the results on last year it looks they release the final results very quickly following the interviews.

[bl33pbl00p]

Has anyone heard back from Northwestern NUIN after the first two interviews regarding acceptance? I know their final interviews are next Thurs/Fri.

Got an email from POI saying that they’ve decided to accept me and to expect an official letter in a couple of days!

[multivites]

Anyone heard back from NYU Sackler?

[siguy]

To those who had interview with Berkeley, does anyone know if all the decisions for 1st interviews have come out ?

Based on the result section, one person rejected today; someone waitlisted two days ago.

I haven't heard back yet.

Have you gone for the interview? I am still expecting the invite. Although, I am an international applicant already in US

I have. They will be sending out offers on Monday for my weekend. I know some people have interviews as late as March though, so I think they’re still rolling through applications! 

[gaultiero]

Is Baylor CM still sending invites?

[LilAstro]

Now that application season is winding down, where has everyone committed/is going to commit? Hope to see you all at future SfNs/conferences and wish you all the best of luck in your career!

I have committed to Drexel University College of Medicine for the PhD program in Neuroscience!

Congrats! I've heard great things about Drexel. I have one more interview but I am deciding between Iowa's Genetics program (applied to neuroscience but got routed to genetics instead) and the Behavioral and Neural Sciences program at Rutgers-Newark. 

 

Anyone know much about the Newark area? I'm not sure how far the stipend will go somewhere that close to NYC.
