None of my friends who interviewed there have heard from them either =/ It looks like they are doing it today...and I haven't received their call... Edited March 8, 2021 by Mike_AB 4sdch 1

Just asking, don't get me wrong (If I had an offer from Harvard,I would not think much about my decision). LOL Edited March 9, 2021 by Mike_AB 4sdch 1

NeuroKween Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 For all those waiting on Columbia, I heard that they’re very slowly rolling out decisions since the past few weeks and have sent only approx 1/3 of the acceptances so far. Not sure what their strategy is, but I think that makes sense given how spread out the acceptances are on the results page. so hang in there! snowbaby, neurochurro99 and Neuronancer 2 1

I feel like their strategy might be to softly waitlist people without telling them they are waitlisted... Just a guess

Just a guess perhaps! Although I’ve seen both a waitlist and a rejection being posted already. Have you heard back yet?
snowbaby Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 Nope, not at all. I emailed Darcy yesterday but haven't got any replies yet

I emailed Darcy yesterday but haven't got any replies yet Got an email from her saying I'm waitlisted (and the only person on the systems waitlist). Ah well! If anyone is planning to say no to Columbia, please do so sooner rather that later! Edited March 9, 2021 by NeuroQween
Smoothbrain Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 Finally got my rejection from Columbia yesterday. Not surprised but still a little disappointed. At least that makes my choice easy. I'm going to UCSF! mxomatosus, dopamine_machine, 4sdch and 5 others 4 4
snowbaby Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 Does anyone know what we can do while on the waitlist, apart from just waiting?
astrocytic Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 for anyone choosing between programs: how did you make your decision? everyone says your advisor is key but I don't know who my advisor would be for either program, or what exactly I'd be working on. pedrxre, MoronPhDApplicant and 4sdch 3
Anxiety101 Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Officially accepted to UCSD! This year has been very tough. Applied to almost 18 schools and ALL but 3 were rejections. However, where there is a will... there is a way. I am an international student so this process was that much more of a whirlwind. I am glad that I can finally breathe and this forum has been very helpful. Good luck to us all and if anyone will be committing to UCSD as well, message me! dopamine_machine, 4sdch, Smoothbrain and 1 other 4

Potential advisors is key. Of course you can't know who you'll end up with, but which program has the most faculty you want to work with? Which program gave you the best vibes? I'd recommend emailing faculty you're most interested in at each program you're considering and asking for a meeting/call, and talk to them about your deciding process. astrocytic and Neuro-tic 2
NotDawsonsCreek Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Just got the UNC rejection. Looks like 9 rejections out of 10 this year... but that's okay! Looks like I'll be going to Virginia Tech, couldn't be happier! minimini and Neuro-tic 2

They don't seem to be sending them out all at once though! A friend of mine received an acceptance yesterday in the evening and I received mine this morning. Ah good luck!!! dopamine_machine 1
