tifoz Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 For the past two year, columbia invites have been over two contiguous days.There does not seem to be as much data on the NYU.
Althonse Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 For the past two year, columbia invites have been over two contiguous days. There does not seem to be as much data on the NYU. That's a little reassuring, thanks!
gradschooloptimist7 Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 For the past two year, columbia invites have been over two contiguous days. There does not seem to be as much data on the NYU. I got an interview from NYU! Has anyone had any date conflicts? If so, how did you resolve them?
tifoz Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 @gradschooloptimist - If your conflict involves NYU, the invite tells you how to address that concern.
neuroendocrinology Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 @tifoz- Thanks for the information! @gradschooloptimist7- I had one date conflict, and I decided to go to one instead of the other. One of them was lower preference, so it worked out. I believe that we can email the admissions coordinator to see if there is a chance for alternative arrangement, even if not explicitly stated in the invite.

I emailed one of the schools for a different date!
ryancho Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Among people active in this post, is there any international applicants (I am)?
Neurono Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 (edited) Welcome, and congrats on your achievement! About BU, what is PiBS? Is it different from Neuro program? Thanks! PiBS is their general 'umbrella' program. I made sure to put that because I know some of you are waiting to hear from BU neuro and didnt want to freak anyone out! Edited December 28, 2012 by Neurono
neuroendocrinology Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 @ryancho - I am an international student, but doing my undergraduate studies in the US.
ksnider Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 @Neurono, do you have an interview for the Cornell Neurobiology and Behavior program? I'm still waiting to hear back from that one.
Neurono Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 @Neurono, do you have an interview for the Cornell Neurobiology and Behavior program? I'm still waiting to hear back from that one. Yup, from the NBB program, good luck!!!
ak1921 Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) Wow! I got an invite from Columbia. Feb 7-8 Edited December 29, 2012 by ak1921
neuroendocrinology Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Wow! I got a invite to Columbia. Feb 7-8 Congrats! When did they send out the email? As this is the second day, I guess this means they are done...
ak1921 Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Congrats! When did they send out the email? As this is the second day, I guess this means they are done... Exactly one and a half hour before
tifoz Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 @ak1921 - Can you update us with the interview date/dates for MIT BCS? Its one of the programs whose dates are completely unknown. Thx
ak1921 Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 @ak1921 - Can you update us with the interview date/dates for MIT BCS? Its one of the programs whose dates are completely unknown. Thx March 8, It was an unofficial message from the admissions comittee and I have no idea whether it will be a one-day interview. I will update more after I receive an official invitation
tifoz Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Thanks so much. I appreciate the info. Congrats on your invites.
HS2013 Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Congrats! When did they send out the email? As this is the second day, I guess this means they are done... I got an invite to Columbia this morning! Very unexpected. Seems they are sending them out over many days. Feb 7-8 seems like a very popular interview spot for these programs (Duke, Cornell, UW-Madison, and now Columbia Neuro.,)

Do you plan to attend all?? I am worried that traveling around for a full month will be quite exhausting and won't do any good for the interviews.. Anyone has any idea on this? Just beginning to worry about the interviews.. It's frustrating Edited December 29, 2012 by ak1921
ak1921 Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Thanks so much. I appreciate the info. Congrats on your invites. Thanks! Since this was an unofficial email, I'm sure there will be much more invites during the official one.
tifoz Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 @HS2013 - You mention a Columbia neuro invite from this morning (congrats BTW). Did you post it on the results page because I saw nothing new appear this mornings results page? If you did then, maybe it's a time zone thing.

I agree it will be pretty exhausting, haven't quite thought through how I am going to deal with it.
ak1921 Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 @HS2013, thanks for the message. I'm sure this will be the most difficult choice I've ever made, having no idea what the consequences would be
seldamat Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Hey all, congrats on your invitations. Many of you have a very impressive collection of interviews! I've only heard back from Princeton Neuroscience.. anxiously awaiting news from MIT, Harvard, NYU, Columbia, Rockefeller, Georgetown, Johns Hopkins, Univ Pittsburgh, UCSF, UC Berkeley, Stanford, UCSD, UCLA, USC, Brown, Dartmouth and Caltech. Does anyone know if Princeton has more than one interview date?
