AnxiousNeuroKitty Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 NYU program director just told me that Applications are still being read and evaluated. Invitations are sent over a period of time and rejections don’t get sent to well after that. crystal322, swtster, Sky_china and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

actionpotential Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 UTSA just sent me an invite a couple hours ago. Not sure if anyone else on here applied to them, I mostly see results page for the cell and molecular phd program instead of neuroscience (its all under biology).

I co-authored 3 papers (one in Nature Neuro) and worked in a Neuronal stem cell lab in Madison during undergrad and post-grad... throw me into the rejected pile Not saying I don't think there was a legitimate reason behind it, but damn if 5 first authorships is what it takes then yikes.. Also, I just found this website the other day and boy has it contributed such great information and anxiety all at once! DdndCraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuromantic Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Sounds about right. I was lurking here for 3 years before I applied this season. It's absolute chaos, my dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the invitation letter filename has my last name in it, so high chance that someone has to hand-edit that? assuming they'd all be out by now? welp did your application portal change at all?

ElTejido Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) Haven't heard anything either. Hopefully we get a phone call lol. I was replying to RachelScared, screwed up the quoting lol.

mak16 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 For those who got an interview letter from UCSF, would you be open to sharing your stats? Are you an international student or domestic student? I haven't gotten a interview or rejection letter. I'm also an international student. I did my undergrad in Canada. I'm also waiting for UPenn and UW Seattle ? I'm hoping I still have a chance for UPenn cause I'm international. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually would love to ask you a question too (I am a domestic CA applicant). Did the interview email seem generic, like they probably were sent out all at once this morning? This is my top-choice school but I still haven't heard anything so losing a bit of hope for UCSF now... Congratulations though, that is a huge achievement!

Thank you, yeah the email did seem generic (received 8:34AM). Perhaps with 1.5-2x as many applicants this year, they will interview more people than usual. I was not expecting an interview at all especially this early (last year they were sent on Dec. 20th) given my lack of lab experience (only 6-7mo full time in a cancer lab, not neuro; started the end of my senior year early 2020). But I'm extremely greatful for the opportunity even if it doesn't work out in the end. Good luck with the rest of your applications! mak16 and neurolingr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neuroimagining Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 If I didn’t hear back from harvard PiN, is it safe to say I won’t get an interview? I’ll survive haha just wondering if I should still be on the look out dsi411 and celestial 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
