obaka Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 The only thing I've heard from OHSU was that one of my letters didn't get turned in >.> so they were at least looking at the applications 2 weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imitosis Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Just checked UCSF's website to find my first rejection. It was definitely a reach school for me, but it still stings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

braaaaaiinnns Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Just checked UCSF's website to find my first rejection. It was definitely a reach school for me, but it still stings. Whoa. Rejections before sending out invites? That seems a little brutal. Good luck with the rest of your schools, you seem to be having a great streak of interviews otherwise, though!!

chailattes Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Which track did you apply to?? BCS is one of my top choices...I think they send out rolling invites though... i chose cellular and molecular neuroscience as my first (and only) research field of interest.

NeuroGirl042 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Has anyone heard from Vanderbilt NGP (not IGP) yet? I know they have different committees, but I'm hoping to hear something this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they sent out all their invites or are there more coming? (One of my letters of rec was late and I don't know whether to give up hope or not…) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(One of my letters of rec was late and I don't know whether to give up hope or not…) How late was it? On their website they say that they accept supplemental materials up to two weeks after, as long as the main application is submitted by the deadline.

I know they have different committees, but I'm hoping to hear something this week. My guess is we won't hear from the NGP until after break the new year as the deadline was Dec 15.

On their website they say that they accept supplemental materials up to two weeks after, as long as the main application is submitted by the deadline. Called Princeton neurosci, they are rolling admission. Thanks guys! My letter was just over a week late, so it did make the 2 week deadline, and the rest of my application was in very early. When I heard that other people were getting invites, I wasn't sure whether how reasonable it was to think that mine might just be delayed because of the late letter, but since Neuro_Guy says they're rolling, I won't give up hope just yet.

eal09 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Does anyone think it would be wise to try emailing a few more professors at this point, introducing yourself and expressing interest in their research and what not, or is this kind of late in the game to? Also applied, and also haven't heard anything. Not super helpful, but at least there's two of us in the same boat! imitosis: did you apply to Vanderbilt for IGP, and did they say anything about dates to respond by?

I advise against this for two reasons. First, because it may come off as trying to influence the admissions process, which to be honest it sort of is. And second, because a particularly grumpy prof might say "well if eal09 couldn't be bothered to e-mail me before the deadline how seriously does s/he take this? What am I, their last choice prof??" [Note: I'm not saying I agree with grumpy prof's reasoning, just saying be advised grumpy profs are out there] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did hear from UM already (also a Dec. 15 deadline), but Vanderbilt may have more applications to go through/may not have started early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imitosis Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 imitosis: did you apply to Vanderbilt for IGP, and did they say anything about dates to respond by? Yes, I applied for IGP. There were no dates given in my initial email (either interview date or when to respond by), but I was asked to respond with my availability and was then assigned an interview weekend based on when I was free. Really considerate, actually! Like I said a few pages back, it definitely seems like they are hosting a number of interview weekends with rolling invitations.

lirr Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Does anyone know when MIT's interviews are? (I feel like someone posted about it earlier, but I can't find it… I got an interview with UCSF, and I want to make sure not to pick a weekend that conflicts with a school I haven't heard from yet, just in case.)

LMac Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) I have to laugh, after going through this process last year I was so relieved to not have to do it again. And yet here I am checking the boards, anxiously following everyone's progress. Applying to grad school is not for the faint of heart. Best of luck to you all!
