2022 Neuroscience PhD Applicants and Admissions Results

[Testaccountg]

Does Harvard or UCSF send out more invites, or is it just the one batch?

[Bapin]

Yeah it’s weird that there was only one Weil Cornel, Neuroscience invite? I haven’t heard from any of my institutions too. Got a rejection from SUNY Binghamton, although it was my safety School. Applied to Columbia, Cornell, Weil Cornell, Mt Sinai, Rockefeller, UMass Chan(no reply too ??), Lewis Katz, Albert Einstein.

I saw on another thread that Harvard is supposedly sending out invites from Dec. 17-20, though I have no idea if that's true or not. 

[abineuro]

Does anyone know if it's true that programs may continue to send invites over the weekend?

I think one batch since the interviews are the first week of January

[Neuroimager]

Just want to say for anyone losing hope, hang in there! I struck out last year without a single interview and just received my first ever. You CAN do it! Stay strong! 

[ak1910]

Got an invite to a UC school today. Surprised they sent on a Saturday, was not expecting that. Super excited, one of my top choices. Good luck everyone!

I feel like PiN has already finished sending out interviews ? From what I saw it normally only takes a day... But interview being in first week of Jan (Saw somewhere here) make me wonder if there is a second round????

[biomedical-123]

Is anyone applying to the biomedical, biolog, biochemical program at UCSD, I am an international student

 

[siguy]

For Harvard PiN, I dont think there is second round of interview. Also, the interview is third week of Jan.

Since the invitation email required us to reply back by Monday, I think all the invitation has been sent.

Thanks for the clarification! Well RIP, Congrats on the interview tho @siguy 

[abineuro]

I'm guessing UPenn is sending out more invites since I've only seen 1 on GradCafe. Can anyone confirm this? 

[ManifoldsAreMadeUp]

I hope everyone isn't too bummed about PiN being done with invites and not having one! A few years ago I was going through the exact thing as it was my #1 choice and the admissions director even said "I'd love to have someone like you in my lab"; the end of that day without an email from PiN was probably my lowest point in research. I had also been rejected from all of my other top choices at that point too.

However, I ended up at a great (but not top) school and have been extremely productive with a first-author in a decent journal (think Cell Reports), two second-authorships in small journals (think PLOS Bio), and several other first-authorships in the works and I'm only two years in! I've done a lot more publishing than any of the dozen friends or so I have in PiN or other schools of similar caliber (not to say PiN isn't an absolutely phenomenal program!). I say this not to brag but just to hopefully communicate that it's not about where you land but instead about "blooming where you're planted". Postdoc is really when being part of a big name lab matters anyhow ?.

Neurobiology at UChicao?

I currently work at UChicago - Both neuro programs at UChicago have their lists solidified for interviews and should be sending out invites this week. Good luck!

looks like a second person posted an interview invite, but from Dec. 7th which is hard to believe

  Do you know whether there are more or fewer applicants this year compared to last year?

Actually, yeah. For both programs, they're anticipating accepting 1/2 the amount of students as normal because more people joined the cohort last year than average

Does anyone know if yale is done sending invitation? 

[Bapin]

Hi! I just emailed Weil Cornell enquiring PhD interview for the Neuroscience program..

 

“Interview invitations are generally finalized in January and all applicants will be notified of the outcome of their application, whether selected for an interview or not. 

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

All the best,

Leora

Does anyone know if Upenn/Northwestern NUIN has sent out all interview invites yet?

Yale has individual faculty members call applicants to notify about interviews. This means interview invites are sent out sporadically, but faculty are encouraged to let applicants know in a timely matter so the rest are likely soon to come! 

[neurofidelity]

Does anyone know anything about Berkeley? Are they done sending out invites?
