Maybe they are reading them in order they were submitted. I also heard of people being receiving interviews and rejections from CMU NGP (though the rejection may have been from a similar CMU program -- I heard second hand) within the past couple days. Yet I applied and didn't hear anything, so it seems they just haven't gone through everybody. Also, I emailed Brown and they said they are just finishing up and will notify regarding acceptances and rejections. So it seems many places, at least Brown and CMU, may not be done reviewing applications. Maybe this will give hope to others in the same boat, who have heard nothing. I am curious what CMU NGP programs you are referring to? And which program you applied to? I have seen many posts about Systems Neuroscience, but I applied to CMU Neural Computation program, and haven't heard or seen anything... I submitted my application about two weeks before the deadline so unsure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just asked my friend about the program where somebody got an interview, and turns out it was the Program in Computational Biology Also got a rejection from Brown today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comp_neuro Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Just contacted MIT BCS and they said if you haven't gotten an invite yet, you're rejected. They will send the official rejection letters in April though. capa_detated, dsi411, arboretum and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know what to make of this. Any thoughts? I wish they were more clear than this. It sounds like they did send out all the interview invites, since they said the timeline for the application process is correct. The fact that they said applications are held on to makes me believe there’s a chance that a few additional people may get an interview? I don’t want to get my hopes up though. lowestprime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canigetuhhhhhhhanswerpls Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I also have a UCLA admissions update (27 Jan): "Thank you for your email and for your application to the NSIDP! At this time, I cannot provide any updates however, I would encourage you to review the timeline for our admissions process on the Admissions FAQ page: http://www.neuroscience.ucla.edu/admissions-faq If there is an update to the status of your application, we will contact you directly." I'm gonna assume this means they did sent out all their invites, given that they're sticking to the timeline. I'm surprised, to be truthful. I would've expected more people to report on it on these forums. lowestprime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's safe to say when I said "Neuroscience" it was very obvious I was referencing the GPN "Graduate Program in Neuroscience" and not either of these other programs which have more words than just "neuroscience" but thanks..

I'm just trying to help! It seemed you were implying that A&N wasn't a neuroscience program which it definitely is. There is no one "neuroscience" program at BU, there are multiple. It would rub students in either department the wrong way if you said *the* neuroscience program at BU was GPN. Just word to the wise if you have an interview with either department. Another tip---and I'm trying to communicate this as gently as possible because this is an incredibly stressful time for you all---but try not to come off with a tone you don't intend on this forum. Graduate students (and research assistants) from BU lurk here; you would not want them sharing unkind details with admissions committees.
