who has an idea how many applicants are invited for interview in a typical school? and how many gets in. 

For my one interview at Weill, my chances of getting in are 28% (70 spots for 250 interviewees) though this combines 5 phd programs, not specifically for neuroscience. I was told there were more than 900+ applicants this year. As someone else said, it depends on the program.

Yes! I was getting a little stressed that we would go into interviews without knowing. See you there

Is this the DYNS program?

The PBS program! The probably have similar admission structures though since you go straight into a lab. It's just the first school where I have been contacted by a PI directly rather than the program director, so I am not even sure if this is an actual interview or not.

Does anyone know how long does Stanford's invites keep rolling for? Do they do it over the course of 1-2 days/weeks..etc? 

 

Any key information is appreciated!

Looking at past years, phone calls/emails were sent to everyone within 2-3 days. only 30-40 interview slots

[567nueron]

anyone know if these schools are done sending out interviews? Stanford, UPitt, UMich, Columbia, UPenn NGG, UVermont ? 

[wawawaka]

Seems like Columbia is done

Since they started Thursday, I am assuming they are not done yet? possibly there will be some going out Monday.

 

Do they ask people to RSVP? and if people say no, they send out more invites? 

[winstonian3]

Do people know generally whether/when schools send rejection emails? I was hoping to know for sure about which schools I was rejected from by the time I start interviews

What are you basing your presumed UT Austin rejection on? Just wondering because I haven't heard anything either.

There was a chunk of people that heard a couple weeks ago but nobody since. I haven't heard anything, therefore I assume I'm not getting invited to an interview. I'm starting to assume I'm not getting an interview from Stanford either, but haven't quite lost hope yet. 

[wistem11]

Looks like someone got a Penn interview recently? To the person that posted, when did you get the invite and when is the interview? Thanks!

Has anyone heard from Northwestern? (through NUIN, not IBS or their other grad program). If so, when are the interviews?

I got an invitation from NUIN and the interviews are on 1/14, 1/28, and 2/11. Hope this helps!

Do we think Stanford, UPenn, and/or UCLA are still sending out invites?

[ninjasub2]

Does anyone know of University of Chicago is still sending out invites??

Received interviews from Stanford and Michigan. Have not heard from Pitt, Columbia (but I think they are done), or Penn. Did not apply to Vermont. Hope it helps!

[electrophys]

Unfortunately, I believe Stanford is done sending invites. I talked to somebody on the committee and all the invites/calls were supposed to go out by Friday.
