To the people that already received an interview invitation to UPenn, when did you submit your applications? I submitted mine on the 28th I emailed the neuro chair, though, just updating him that i submitted my application (like dec 2). He got back to me the next day and then i got an interview invite on the 5th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caffeinemouse Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Hi everyone! Current research tech here, I applied to several neuro and bio programs (UCSD, UCSF, UCLA, UWashington, UOregon, Vanderbilt, Emory, USC, OHSU, and Georgetown) and I'm playing the waiting game now! I was asked by a PI at UOregon to Skype about my research interests today, which I believe is probably to determine if they'll have me for an interview. If anyone has advice on making a good impression, please let me know! Should I prep like I would for an in-person interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only prep you should need (for any interview) is knowing about your research and having an idea of which faculty at that school are doing things you're interested in/you'd want to work with. Did you contact this person at any point or did they randomly reach out? My main tip is ask them questions about the program/location/their lab.

I haven't spoken with the PI before, but listed them as faculty of interest and they are reviewing my application! Thank you for the tips. I'm hoping this leads to a formal interview!

HopeforNeuroPhd Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Hi Guys, Does anyone have an idea of UT Austin (Neuro or Psych)?

RAYHONG Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Hi everyone! Do people expect to get U Penn invites this week? I am an international student and the coordinator told me that the invites are going out on the late side because the program can only admit a limited number of international students. gaultiero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, from what I can tell all of the people that were invited so far for UPenn were not international, so we'll have to wait a bit longer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frannicole Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Hi all! Very new to this process, does anyone know if they typically send invites to interviews all at once (like in one day) or over a period of days?
