naamabrez Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 Is anyone else still waiting for an answer from NYU, UCLA or Weill Cornell Neuroscience? I haven't heard anything yet from any of them.. (I am an international student)
astra Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 Does anyone know what programs tend to send interview invites in early-mid January? The waiting game can be rough and I think it would be nice to have some information!Â

I'm struggling to decide. Thanks! I mean, you should fill every spot if they're prioritized. Makes the admins job easier and you'll ensure you know who you're interviewing with. If you get paired with a rando prof, that's a wasted opportunity.
ktneurobio Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 Hi all looking for advice, At Scripps I only received an interview request for the Florida Campus, not the California one. Even after discussing only CA based PI's in my personal statement. I'm not sure how to handle this, I've accepted the interview in FL because I have only one other interview offer at this time. The site says the admission standards are the same, should I reach out to see why I only got the interview at the campus I'm not that interested in? Should I email some PIs in CA to express my interest in their labs now that I have an interview and hope that they get me that CA interview?Â
neurobrainiac Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 I know I am waiting on Virginia Tech, Indiana University, Boston University (all Neuroscience) and then University of SC SOM (Biological Sciences PhD Program). These programs typically come out sometime in mid-january.Â
astra Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 By the way, does anyone know if Stanford is expected to send out interview invites this week or next week? I've heard that in previous years they sent out phone calls first? lowestprime, Neurolucida and nm_ml 3

I've heard that in previous years they sent out phone calls first? According to the Stanford biosciences PhD admissions FAQ: "During the week of January 9, 2023 (and the weeks that follow), the Home Programs will start to contact those applicants who have been selected for an interview. The selected applicants will be invited to interview virtually February 14-16, 2023. This will be our only interview session. Those admitted will be invited, at our expense, to an in-person visit March 16-19, 2023." I'm not sure about phone calls, but I wouldn't expect anything until next week  Good luck! astra and nm_ml 2
astra Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) Also, in case anyone else was waiting on Columbia, it appears someone on Reddit contacted the administrator and was told all interview invites have been sent out. Update- the user on Reddit actually contacted the administrator about a different program (not the Neurobiology program), though I am not expecting much at this point anyway haha Edited January 5, 2023 by astra

So I'm presuming if we haven't received one, it's a no
puddingislovely Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 Still waiting to hear from Northwestern, Mt. Sinai, Stanford, Weill Cornell, and USC. Has anyone heard or NOT heard back from these schools? Both pieces of info are useful.Â

neuro-min Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 Hey y’all, I think Stanford has begun sending out interview invites. I received a phone call today! (Also, does anyone know if MIT BCS and Mt. Sinai are done sending out interview invites?) lowestprime and nm_ml 2

neuro-min Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) Also, does anyone know what the acceptance rate is after being chosen to interview at Stanford (or maybe other specific programs)? I’m excited but also really worried Edited January 7, 2023 by neuro-min

I don't think they interview very many people since they only accept around 20-25 each year. lowestprime and Astrogli 1 1

Could be true if interviews are virtual. nm_ml 1
