Has anyone else received an interview invite from OHSU?

I accepted an invitation to interview but have not received any response to my acceptance email, and no sign of the email with more questions/info that the invite email suggested would follow if I accepted.  It’s been over a week since I initially accepted and the deadline to accept is the 3rd. The radio silence is making me nervous that emails may not reaching the right inboxes. Is anyone else in a similar situation? Have you received some confirmation or more information about the interviews?

still no response right, just making sure lol im getting nervous

I got an email with more info about the recruitment/interview schedule on Jan 7th. There is a due date to submit faculty of choice by the 15th so I would check spam and reach out if you were offered an interview but haven’t gotten more info yet.

For those of you who have received an invitation with NUIN-- were you given an option to choose to interview between 3 different interview dates? or did they just give you a January interview date?

Hey! New to this portal. I am also still waiting on Harvard and Stanford. I have received invites from emory, wustl, and duke. I didn't apply to the other programs you listed. Best of luck!

Pretty sure Harvard already sent all invitations.

has harvard sent rejections yet? do we think it;s worth it to reach out and ask in case we've been waitlisted..

[GibonFrog]

Do people get waitlisted before interviews or after?

Harvard does not have waitlist for interview. They do have waitlist after interview though. As far as I know, they are done with interview invites, as the interview happens in a week.

Hey y'all! I'm wondering what the general view of asking schools for alternate interview dates is. Does it look bad in the part of the interviewee if they ask? Related question, does anyone know if University of Wisconsin-Madison offers alternate dates besides the Jan. 27th-29th and Feb. 10th-12th?

Anyone else apply to TCU Neuro? (housed in the psych department)

hmm, was this for their Behavioral and Systems program with events on 2/10 and 2/11? If so, I will have to reach out bc I don't have anything in my spam either  

[ninjasub2]

Does anyone know what the chances are of being interviewed after being placed at the "top of the waitlist" for interview? Seems like there are 3 different interview weekends.... not sure if the last one might be reserved for last second/waitlisted interviewees?

Oop my mistake, I received more info on NGP, not the behavioral program. It did take a while to hear back with more info, but I’m sure an email will be sent out for other programs soon.

I have asked schools about whether or not there are alternative interview dates, and I do not think it's a big deal/looks bad. And those are the only 2 interview weeks for UW-Madison!

Just curious, but did anyone apply to UMiami (Neuro)? I haven't heard anything back from them yet/seen anything. 

I applied, it's my current undergraduate institution. All I know rn is that they are still reviewing applications. They reached out to me about an issue w my application which got resolved just today. Idk if its rolling or whether they have sent any invites before.

Congrats! I know it's crazy competitive. Some people there have many years of technical industry experience.

Has anyone been brave enough to email Stanford asking if all interview invites have been sent out? I have only seen a few invites on here. At this point I am assuming a rejection.

I have! Here's what they said:

In the coming weeks, the committees will be finalizing their admissions decisions. The selected applicants will be invited to interview virtually February 15-17, 2022. This will be our only interview session. Those admitted will be invited, at our expense, to an in-person visit March 17-20, 2022.

 

In general, if an applicant has not heard about a possible invitation by mid-February, it is unlikely that they will be invited to Stanford or admitted. Applicants who are not selected for an interview will receive a letter that states that no further action will be taken on their application.

 

Hope this is helpful!!!

Are WUSTL and CNUP done reviewing applications? I did see a few people here mention they got rejection mails from WUSTL or interview invites from UPitt. But I haven't heard anything from them yet..

I am also waiting to hear from Pitt. I emailed them and they said we'll know by mid January either way (rejection or interview)

Wow. That means there is a possibility that they might send rolling invites up to before the interview dates? Has it happened in the past where Stanford invited someone after their initial invites? What factor would play in them giving up to mid-Feb as a " you can still potentially hear from us" note?
