Seeing all these interviews and haven't gotten a single one yet makes me super nervous and depressed at the same time ?. This is my second time applying and I seriously don't know if I can take another year of all rejections ?

most programs have not started sending out interviews. Best of luck!

Don't lose hope, though I know it's discouraging. Your resilience is admirable and I am sure that the programs you applied to will see that! There's still lots of time. Best of luck to you!

Saw one person in the results post about an Emory interview, has anyone else received a phone call / email? It's one of my top choices and I haven't heard anything. Well... I haven't heard from anywhere yet to be honest, so that's the most anxiety provoking ?. I know it's still early though. I think most of my programs haven't sent out invites yet

Waiting to hear back from GW, Princeton (don't think I got in based on interviews sent out), Northwestern, Emory, UNC, Vanderbilt, Wisconsin-Madison, UCSD, UCLA and a few others 

Keep your head up everyone! Still early in app cycle

I also have yet to hear from Emory and am super bummed to see that they already called people. I am happy for them and can only hope for the best for the rest of us .

Today is only the first of many days! I believe

Got an interview from UMich PIBS at noon today and one from UC San Francisco at 3:20. San Francisco is crazy early: you schedule what time you want to interview and the recruitment weekend is the first weekend in February

I heard back from Vanderbilt and UNC. I applied before the priority deadline so maybe that's why I received a reply early. I'm also still waiting for Emory and Northwestern as well. Wishing us both good luck!

Yes I'm kind of freaking out about UCSF being so early, interviews are the first week of January! Hopefully I can prep by then ? Good luck to you, let's keep in touch in case we have questions!

Nice! Did you apply to UNC BBSP neuro program with the Nov 22nd priority deadline / dec 1st regular deadline? I applied to the other program, neuroscience & psych department, Dec 14th deadline. Don't think they've sent out interviews for that yet

It was the UNC BBSP with 11/22 deadline. I'm guessing the other programs haven't sent the invites yet. Good luck!

I just received an invite from NUIN and Emory Neuroscience! Hope you got it as well  

[abeta]

Wondering if anyone knows if these schools send email invites out throughout the day/ a few days or all at once? I know Emory sends out phone calls but I haven't gotten one yet

Programs: UCSF, Emory, Brown, Northwestern, GPP, Columbia

I know some have gotten responses from UCSF and Emory

That's awesome!!!!!!! So exciting   I  haven't yet (only WashU and Tufts). If I get either NIUN or Emory I'LL DIE of happiness 

[SloppyLime]

I think UCLA came out like 5 min ago

[hypothalamus]

Has anyone heard from Cornell NBB (Ithaca campus)? When I submitted my application, the confirmation email said that they planned to send interview invites before winter break, but I haven’t heard anything or seen posts here. 
 

Or has anyone heard from UC-Irvine?

[gawaag]

Haven't heard back from Tufts though i saw some people are receiving invites from Tufts... Kinda losing hope now. Happy for people who have interview invites now! Hope rest of us gooood luck

I’m not even in neuro (lol), but I’m waiting to hear back from a different Cornell Ithaca program. I can’t even find anyone mentioning they’ve heard back about any Ithaca program yet. Past years invites for most Ithaca programs went out in the Dec 17-Dec 23 range depending on the year, so maybe next week?
