I still haven't heard about an interview or a rejection... UPenn (maybe still sending invites?) Columbia JHU NYU Boston University BU GPN is notoriously late every year, end of January/early Feb, so don't expect it anytime soon. Info from me working at BU for like 3yrs lol JHU Neuro I believe already went out, JHU Psychological & Brain Sciences as well (I got an interview for the latter)
Neuro-tic Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 For the Mount Sinai interview: Can anyone tell me how we are supposed to get to the "scheduling system"? The link in the email just takes me to my application page.

On the admission page it says applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and interviews will be completed in early December. Anyone else hear anything about CU-Boulder Behavioral Neuroscience? I applied to Boulder behavior neuro as well and haven't heard a thing. I have only seen 2 posts for prelims

I came here for the same reason - looks like they just fixed it, now there is an interview tab under PHD BSR when you go to that link Neuro-tic 1
izthewhiz Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 U. Kentucky Cognitive Neuroscience is DONE sending out interviews (unless ppl cancel and they need to interview more) as of now.
neurobelle Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 does anyone know if UC berkeley is done sending out invites? i know they sent some a while ago so unsure if I should assume it’s a rejection (or they do waitlists) capa_detated 1
SalamNeuro Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Current Status: Harvard (Pending) | Yale (Pending) | WashU (Rejection) | UPenn (Pending) | UCSD (Pending) | UCSF (Rejection) | Stanford (Pending)
brain_guy Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 It seems like a lot of people on here just searched "US News and Report top Neuroscience PhDs" and applied to the first ten schools they saw ? very few people get into these programs, I would suggest applying to some lesser known schools that still have great research programs as well! lnrnlds, neurokenzie, AnxiousNeuroKitty and 5 others 4 4

canigetuhhhhhhhanswerpls Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 anyone got a scoop on UCLA? I saw the update that they may require responses by Jan 18 but it still seems like so few people received interviews.

Currently applications are still be reviewed for the NSIDP program. We will contact you directly with any updates regarding your application and status." I emailed UCLA neuroscience admissions on 1/11/21 and they replied with this message.

lowestprime Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 1 minute ago, canigetuhhhhhhhanswerpls said: huh so late. Thank you! I believe they received 1.5-2x the typical number of applicants this cycle. Don't quote me on that, but I have definitely heard this is the case for other UCLA graduate departments and for neuroscience graduate programs at other universities this year.

Agreed! When looking for grad schools, the focus should be on finding researchers that match your interests. At the end of it all, the research skills & techniques that you learned as a grad student are going to be much more important than where you went to school. AnxiousNeuroKitty and brain_guy 1 1

On the admission page it says applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and interviews will be completed in early December. Anyone else hear anything about CU-Boulder Behavioral Neuroscience? I got an email from a PI last Tuesday to schedule a brief Zoom call, which we had on Friday. He told me that they were contacting about 20 applicants for this preliminary interview, and would eliminate some before sending invites to the full interview weekend. The ~20 pre-interviews were divided among all the admitting faculty. I have a feeling most or all of those would have been contacted last week, but I'm not positive.

Based on that, I also feel like most would have been contacted at this point. I guess I'll just be waiting to be pulled off the waitlist or denied at this point. Thanks!

I also have 2, and I have high hopes of being accepted! Honestly I was feeling pretty good until I told my family and they seemed a bit disappointed. But you're right, I still have a shot so I'll keep it positive
