[4sdch]

Peeps in case you are wondering about UCR interview dates to line up your schedules. I haven't received an invite, I just asked the program so that I can choose dates wisely. 

Interviews will happen Jan 25-26 and Feb 8-9.

RIP, no invite from UCSD. Congratulations to everyone who received invites today though.

A past cognitive science professor of mine told me UCSD has a bias against interviewing/admitting their own undergrads. I should have listened lol.

Any updates from UMinn, Emory, or UNC? 

UMinn sent me an email with an invite letter attached on December 21 -- they're having a virtual interview weekend / neuroscience retreat from January 29 to February 1. 

[Neuromantic]

Hopefully I’ll hear from them soon! ?

Yay! Also: my PI said that Sinai interviews are in Feb... So I guess that means that we won't hear back till... Jan? Eh?

I wanna think this is good news for intl applicants, because they are exhaustively reading the applications and not only looking for Ivy graduates or something like that

Do you guys think UCSD is done sending their Neuro invites? 

[neuro_dreamer]

Did anyone here apply to / hear back from the Graduate Program in Psychological & Brain Sciences at Dartmouth? Their website said that interview invites generally go out mid-December, but I haven't noticed anything on the results page ?

My boyfriend applied to Dartmouth PBS and his POI said (last week) that he would recommend my boyfriend to the admission committee, and the recruitment weekend is at the end of Jan. That means they haven't sent out the interview invitations.

I hope not? I don’t see much of it in the results page, so I’m really not sure of what’s going on. 

[whotfisSarahTonin]

might be a dumb question but what’s the purpose of sending interview invites in batches? nervous abt jhu ?

Got a rejection from Duke Neurobiology this morning:(

Maybe they're not done sending all the emails? Yeah I saw only 3 people (including me) posted interview invite results. Since the interviews are at the end of February they will probably send out more invitations early next month maybe?
