Specifically for behavioral neuroscience I haven't heard back either. On the admission page it says applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and interviews will be completed in early December. Anyone else hear anything about CU-Boulder Behavioral Neuroscience? Link to post Share on other sites

I still haven't heard about an interview or a rejection... UPenn (maybe still sending invites?) Columbia JHU NYU Boston University BU GPN is notoriously late every year, end of January/early Feb, so don't expect it anytime soon. Info from me working at BU for like 3yrs lol JHU Neuro I believe already went out, JHU Psychological & Brain Sciences as well (I got an interview for the latter) Link to post Share on other sites

neurobelle 9 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 does anyone know if UC berkeley is done sending out invites? i know they sent some a while ago so unsure if I should assume it’s a rejection (or they do waitlists) capa_detated 1 Link to post Share on other sites

brain_guy 17 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 It seems like a lot of people on here just searched "US News and Report top Neuroscience PhDs" and applied to the first ten schools they saw 😆 very few people get into these programs, I would suggest applying to some lesser known schools that still have great research programs as well!

lowestprime 27 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 1 minute ago, canigetuhhhhhhhanswerpls said: huh so late. Thank you! I believe they received 1.5-2x the typical number of applicants this cycle. Don't quote me on that, but I have definitely heard this is the case for other UCLA graduate departments and for neuroscience graduate programs at other universities this year.

Agreed! When looking for grad schools, the focus should be on finding researchers that match your interests. At the end of it all, the research skills & techniques that you learned as a grad student are going to be much more important than where you went to school. brain_guy and AnxiousNeuroKitty 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

On the admission page it says applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and interviews will be completed in early December. Anyone else hear anything about CU-Boulder Behavioral Neuroscience? I got an email from a PI last Tuesday to schedule a brief Zoom call, which we had on Friday. He told me that they were contacting about 20 applicants for this preliminary interview, and would eliminate some before sending invites to the full interview weekend. The ~20 pre-interviews were divided among all the admitting faculty. I have a feeling most or all of those would have been contacted last week, but I'm not positive. Link to post Share on other sites

Based on that, I also feel like most would have been contacted at this point. I guess I'll just be waiting to be pulled off the waitlist or denied at this point. Thanks!
