Has anyone gotten invitations from MIT BCS (computational focus), NYU Neural Science, CMU Neural Computation, or Stanford Neuroscience? I got an interview invite from Columbia, so just waiting to hear back from others

Of those two, I applied to MIT BCS with a comp focus and Stanford Neurosciences. I haven't heard anything from either.

It was an email from the administrator. Interview dates: 1st-3rd Feb. 

Suspense is wild. Did your portal update too?
4:30pm
My portal just updated to remove the submitted application items checklist, but still does not contain any info about invite/reject.
5:10pm
I can't. This is absurd lol, only b/c all rejects and zero invites out of the 10 I applied to so far (6 remaining). the UCSD invite would also mean a lot since it's my alma mater.
single additional acceptance added to admissions results and my portal still has no additional info.

No one has heard from NYU, Stanford said they're sending first week of January, and a friend of mine got an interview to MIT BCS a few days ago, not sure what track

Not sure if good or bad though, because last time I applied (Fa21), the rejection letter status update appeared right above the upload materials sec.

Well, then I guess I'm preparing myself more for that potential

Hey, my status is still "submitted", but after clicking in, I can still update my materials. GL and finger crossed to you!

Just wondering, has anyone else applied to Caltech’s Neurobiology program (and heard back)?

Also, I got my first interview invite and I feel so relieved ?

Rejected from UCSD around midnight. I’m really at such at a loss. No interviews from any other schools yet.

Don't lose hope! You still have until January for some schools. If you are really that worried, some schools still have open programs with 01/01 or 01/15 deadlines!!

[Neurolucida]

I feel like T20 programs have been an absolute crapshoot this year

Which schools have 1/15 deadlines?

Yep. Still waiting to hear from both.

Why oh why did I apply neuro....

Genomics, Mol Bio, BMS,Tetrad and similar are all better fits ?

I hope you get one of these! A little late, but I feel you on the retrospective program decisions.

I know Boston U has an anatomy and neuro program with a 01/01 deadline and upstate medical uni in NY has a 01/15 deadline. I am gonna look more soon as I am worried too, but most of my interview invites come in January? My only rejection so far is UT Austin... I find out from Vanderbilt today/tomorrow.

[neurobrainiac]

On a more enjoyable note.... does everyone wanna show and tell their research? ?

Phew.... ?‍? University of California, Davis Integrative Genetics and Genomics Graduate Group Interview this morning. I'll take it! ?

My theory was right, genomics etc better fit than neuro in my case. Prob would have gotten more interviews if I applied to genetics for all.
