2021 Neuroscience PhD Applicants and Admissions Results

[Smoothbrain]

I just got an interview invite from UCLA and it seems really weird because it's so much later than anyone else on the results page. Does anyone know if there was a waitlist or something? I had just assumed that I had gotten rejected

Congratulations and likewise about the rejection assumption. I wonder if more will come out soon. When are the interview dates again?

They said February 28th - March 1st. I was just immediately suspicious of the email because of how late it was but I suppose I should be happy!

I did too! I haven't received anything yet. Though when someone asked during the interview they said it might not be until the end of the month to receive an answer. Hope this helps!

That's also what I remember, but I'm not sure whether they are more of a committee based program or a lab based one, that probably determine whether we might receive decision from PI of interest ahead of time

I sure hope so! Someone in my interview asked when we should hear back and they said the adcom starts meeting this week.

Wow! But their class size is also like 8-10. Does that mean everyone accepts?
