Looks like at least a couple of people heard back this evening... I'm still waiting to hear back from them as well. Have you gotten any updates?

Hi, I'm new to this thread.

Best of luck everyone with your applications!

Anyone applied to the UF BMS-Neuroscience program?

Also, those who got interviews and already went through with them, do you mind sharing what the experience was like. From the looks of it, I will not have many interviews and I want to do well in mine.

I applied to 10 schools:

Waiting: Boston Uni, Brown, Columbia, Duke, Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, UMiami, and UMich

I received an interview from Weill Cornell yesterday 1:11 EST.

I got rejected from Duke Cognitive Neuroscience. That was my secondary choice as program within Duke. I haven't heard anything from Duke Neurobiology.

I heard someone got a UMich interview earlier in the thread. I guess also Princeton too. Anyone have updates on the other ones?

GL to all

I got an invite from Duke neurobiology yesterday and from UMich a couple of days ago. I'm also waiting for Stanford as well. Good luck to both of us

Congrats on your interviews!! Correct me if I am wrong, but I think Stanford sends out invites early to mid-january.

I got an invite!!! This is my first one and I'm so excited! This at least means I'm seriously being considered. I was worried because I don't have much research experience.

 

btw, this was the only email in my spam so def check your spam inbox folks!!

How do the following neuroscience programs compare:

Vanderbilt

Duke

Princeton

Maryland

Berkeley

Hopefully difficult decision ahead o.o

[GibonFrog]

Schools I applied to: 1) Univ of Oregon 2) CMU 3) CNUP 4) NUIN 5) UCSB 6) NYU 7) Brandeis 8 ) Umass Amherst 9) Brown 10) Dartmouth 11) Princeton 12) Uof Rocherster 13) USC 14) Emory.

I got interviews for UofO and USC. Do you guys know which ones are done sending invites on my list?

Does anyone know what the etiquette is with conflicting interview schedules? Once you confirmed that you will be attending interview dates are you able to ask them to reschedule/cancel?

I have the same question! One school (Iowa), which I already accepted because they were the first to send an email, is in person and the other one (Minnesota) which I just got an email for today is virtual. In terms of program, I'd prefer going to Minnesota but I don't want to cancel my in person interview for Iowa either. Hopefully I can email Minnesota to ask them to reschedule since they're virtual.

Hi! Did you hear back from the program? I saw on the result page that some students got interview offers in early December (Biomedical Sciences, no concentration specified). I was wondering whether each concentration/department sends out invites separately or not.

Dartmouth.. Their program site says by 21 Dec all interview invites will be sent out..

Emailed Rockefeller ytd, the person in charge said all invites will be out by Dec 22. 

[hypothalamus]

I’m surprised that Dartmouth is already done sending out interview invites, considering their application was just due a week ago. Dec 15-21 is only 6 days of reviewing applications, including weekends. 

[brkkmnkk]

Where do y’all see these dates? I googled myself and I can’t find them.

[Neuroimager]

Anyone have info on UCSD? They sent some the other day but that was earlier than previous years and only 2-3 posted.

Congrats! Could you share some information about the invitation?

Is it virtual or in-person? And what date?

Thanks! Good luck to you!

I got a UChicago interview invite from faculty on Monday. I got a formal invitation today. (I'm domestic in Neurobiology)

Hello all!

I'm new here. Just a little intro I studied Music and Neuroscience in undergrad and was on the medical school track, worked in an ER for a few years, until I fell in love with research in my Masters program.

I have been working as an RA in the Neuro lab that I did my MS thesis in for 2 years now helping research the circuitries underlying vision, spatial memory and decision making. My mentors here are physician scientists and I'm inspired literally everyday.

I applied to NYU, Columbia, Einstein, WashU St. Louis, University of Pittsburgh, Harvard, Stanford and UCLA. I have not heard a word back from any of them. So naturally I am starting to sweat, check my spam folder 7 times a day and just generally start to lose hope.....

[aBrainDrain]

Received an interview from MIT this morning! I didn't think I would even hear from them regardless of decision until January. This feels like a dream.

Anyone know if UT is done sending invites?

Congrats!!! Was this an official email or communication from a PI?

In previous years people have heard around this time as they finish the first batch now. You must be a clear admit.

For the ppl asking about Dartmouth, 15th Dec wasn’t the priority deadline.. the program site for integrative Neuroscience clearly states it. I applied late too ??

the dates are posted in the interview section: https://sites.dartmouth.edu/ind/apply/
