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 Share Posted December 28, 2012 @gradschooloptimist - If your conflict involves NYU, the invite tells you how to address that concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neuroendocrinology Posted December 28, 2012 Share 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.

Neurono Posted December 28, 2012 Share 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!

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.,) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tifoz Posted December 30, 2012 Share 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.
