2021 Neuroscience PhD Applicants and Admissions Results

Hi guys! Did anyone receive a rejection letter from Sinai?

It is so weird, I can see that last years they always sent out rejections early and fully... It is way past their time for sending out rejections. I would assume they are keeping a waitlist for interviews, but they sent out more interviews this year if judging only by the results page. I counted 7 interviews, and last year it was 5 and the rejections were sent out. 

Do you think there is still hope for Sinai? They told me more than a week ago that applications were under review, but it seems kinda late for it at this point.

I'm in the same boat. It feels a little late for interviews but I haven't received a real rejection either.

Anyone got accepted at OSU?

I had an interview in early January and am still waiting to hear back! I received an email last week that they are in the process of reviewing applications, but they did not give a timeline for when I will receive more info.

Did anyone here get an interview from UPenn's Pharmacology Graduate Group (PGG) under BGS? I was so excited about their Neuropharmacology focus.

I still haven't heard back regarding my application and tried to follow up with their admissions coordinator, but no one responded. I saw a lot of BGS rejects on the results page though, so I guess mine will come along soon. :(

I'm in the same boat. I haven't heard back from the program at all.

Is Baylor College of Medicine still sending out invites? My application is still "under review" and wondering what are the chances.

I'm wondering the same thing lol. It's my top choice program, but based on results from previous years all interview invites likely have already been sent out. I saw a few posters saying that they got the "transferred to second choice program" email in early February back in 2018.

I think they are done. First interview weekend is happening now and the second weekend is on Jan 28-29.

I emailed a PI from UCLA a few weeks ago regarding when interviews are being sent out. And they responded " I am not sure when invites go out- we have only been told interviews are on Feb 8 and Mar 1." So there's still hope I guess.

Is this the neuro program at UCLA? Thanks!

Yes, I was told something similar by a current UCLA neuroscience graduate student:

"UCLA requires (this year) responses from all interviewees by January 18th, and their interview process is occurring Feb. 28th - March 1st."

Ok. I guess if I did not receive an invite by now, I am dumped. 

Thank you for sharing!

I am planning to email them again if I do not hear anything by tomorrow afternoon. Last time I emailed them on January 11th, they said:

"Thank you for your email and for your application! Currently applications are still be reviewed for the NSIDP program. We will contact you directly with any updates regarding your application and status."

 

Edit:

I got impatient and just emailed them right now (1:00 PM PST). I will post their reply as my UCLA neurograd student contact from Reddit still has not replied to my request for an an admissions update.

Has anyone heard from Carnegie Mellon's program in Neural Computation? There are no interview invites posted on the Results page, and only one unofficial Rejection... Last year they came out around the same time as CMU's Systems Neuroscience program. Curious if anyone knows anything about this?

Just got my rejection today. I think youre on waitlist, still wishing you the best.

Good luck to all my international applicants, youll need it!!!!!

I also got the rejection later that day... Well, a rejection is way better than just being ignored, which I got from Yale INP and probably from Duke Psychology and Neuroscience ?

If you receive an acceptance, are you usually given a deadline for confirming or denying admission? I have some interviews in late Feb so I’m just wondering what would happen if a school gave me an acceptance in January but I hadn’t interviewed at all my programs yet.
