Neuroscience applicants for Fall 2013

[NeuroTU]

Still waiting on UCBoulder, Syracuse, Miami, Tulane, Michigan St, StonyBrook >.<

[dendy]

For the people who were informed by phone about their UCSD interview--were you called by admissions or a POI you have had contact with (or not had contact with)? Just curious.

[neurogradstudent]

Anyone know if UCLA is done sending out invites?

I emailed them today to ask about the status of my app, and they said they were still reviewing applications and they have not send out everything...Anyways keeping my fingers crossed...

[kingmiaomiao]

wow! I have heard from Duke Neurobiology for the phone interview via email! So excited!

Does anybody know about the chance of the interviewees will be offered an admission?

I am so nervous about the interview phone call><

Does anyone know if UNC Chapel Hill is done sending out the invites? (My friend was asking me for it...)

@ak1921 Somebody on the 2013 Biosciences thread said that UNC Chapel Hill BBSP will be reviewing apps until the end of January.

I am! When are you gonna be heading over to the hotel on Thursday?

 

My flight gets in about 4:30, so I expect to get to the hotel at 5:30 or so.  Will you be attending the dinner?

[neurogradstudent]

Has anyone heard back anything from UC Davis?

[meow123]

I'll be arrive at around 4:30pm, and will be attending the dinner as well.

 

Has UPenn emailed you your list of interviewers yet? 

[HopefullyNeuro]

Any word on if UCSD is done sending invites?

[FutureNeuroGrad]

Received interview invite from Michigan State this morning! Soooooo thrilled and excited! It's nice to get another invite after being rejected from Duke and UCSF. @ neurogradstudent, I am also waiting to hear from UC Davis and have not heard anything yet.

[standiford]

Has anyone heard back from the University of Chicago yet?

[Solnce]

Just heard from Stanford via phone

 

Congratulations!

 

I edited my post because I found out the procedure of being invited: if the admission committee decides to invite you, they send out your application to all the professors, whom you listed as your research interest. And the committee will arrange meetings with almost all of them (depends on their schedule) during your 4-day visit.

Are there people who apply to Neuroscience program for at least a second time? 

I applied only to two schools this year, and it seems that I will not be accepted by neither. 

So I am going to apply to at least 10 next year.

Does anyone feel super nervous about not knowing enough for the interviews? I hope some more impressive questions come to mind to ask professors when the time actually comes, cause at the moment I just have stupid questions and sheer awe

I'm a little overwhelmed.  Haha.  Trying to keep track of who does what and think of some decent questions/answers...

I'm extremely nervous. The only questions I can think of are the standards and I feel like I'm wasting their time.  Hopefully I can kill enough time describing my research and hearing them describe theirs that I don't have to come up with questions for 10+ minutes.  I also can't stop feeling that I should not be interviewing with some of the more well known faculty I have requested to meet with.  It can be very intimidating and is definitely not helping me relax

Just got an interview invite to Georgia State University via email

[stmwap]

Congrats, LMac!

^^ yes about the well known faculty! Maybe Ill just ask for an autograph

Someone posted in the results section that they called UCSD Neuroscience and all invites have already been sent out.

 

So bummed about that one. Guess I'll add it to my rejection list.

[LMac]

Not sure why I can't edit my previous post, but new poster on the results board says they were told invites would go out all week. Hope the second one is right!

[FutureNeuroGrad]

I spoke with the graduate recruiting coordinator at MSU and asked if I could reschedule my interview as it conflicts with UT Austin's interview dates. I was told not at this time but they may possibly reschedule later. Bummer!!!
