Emory Neuroscience Program

[LMac]

During the application process I was told that they choose who will get an interview invite by Dec 11 (today). I thought I'd start a thread to see if/when anyone had heard from them. Any other Emory Neuro applicants around?

Hey!

I applied as well, but for me it's a super mega reach school, so I don't really expect to hear from them unless they were very distracted while reviewing my application (I mostly did it because of the fee waiving for those who applied before October 31st...it was my first and 'practice' app, in a way ). Even though Emory has some AMAZING labs!

Plus, the rumor is that they're not very friendly toward international applicants (not that with my stats I'd get in, if I were American )

How do you know they're going to send out invitations today? I wish I had that info for my other schools. On Dec. 1st I was invited by one university that has a deadline in January (reeeeally surprised), but I haven't heard back from others whose deadlines were way earlier. Should I consider myself rejected?

The Admissions Chair actually told me that final decisions were being made today. Not sure if that means that interview invites go today, but I'd guess very soon. I would also assume that depending on who accepts and declines interviews, they probably send additional ones later on, although that's just speculation on my part.

It's a reach school for me as well, but I'm local so thought I'd give it a shot. I hadn't heard that they're not friendly toward international applicants, but I wouldn't consider yourself rejected. And yes, I sure do wish I had this information on the other programs I'm applying to

Oh my. I almost fainted when I saw you topic, I thought it meant the interviews have already gone out!

Anyways... I've applied too, and had not heard anything. I have no idea how likely I will get an interview, but Emory is definitely one that I consider a good research fit.

I am waiting to hear back from Emory too! I'll post here if I hear anything, good or bad.

[stmwap]

So, has anyone heard anything, then?

[stmwap]

I, too, am applying and will post here if I hear anything.

[neuroendocrinology]

I'll post if I hear anything too. I'm really anxious now. Saw on the results page that someone got an interview from UPenn Neuro... That made me even more nervous.

Does anybody know if schools send out all invites in one day or spread it out?

[stmwap]

It totally depends on the school. Vanderbilt IGP sent out some interview invites on December 5th and then some more on December 10th.

[LMac]

They're calling people today with interview invites for the Neuroscience program, although I'm not sure if today is the only day. They said it's a total of 40 interviewees.

[stmwap]

Got a call today!
