AxonAxoff Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Anyone apply to/hear from UC Davis? Also, does anyone know the approximate acceptance rate of people who were interviewed at Columbia and MIT? A probably-unreliable estimate of MIT's interviewee admission rate can be obtained from two pieces of info. First, from the BCS FAQ: "We receive over 400 applications per year, and of these, we admit approximately 40 students and enroll between 10 and 20 students. The number of students admitted into the graduate program annually is around five percent of the total number of applications received." Ignore the fact that part of that statement doesn't quite make sense. Second, from the 2007 Spring department newsletter: "Interview Day brought 50 candidates for the graduate program to Cambridge for an intensive schedule of meetings, lab tours, and presentations." If you're willing to make some important assumptions (e.g. the interviewee pool size is independent of the applicant pool size, which has verifiably increased since 2007), then you've got your estimate: an 80% interviewee admission rate for MIT's BCS program. Needless to say, take that with a generous helping of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Souzou Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Does anyone know if UPenn NGG is done sending interview invites? I only see one person in this thread received an invite so I'm hoping there will be a second wave....! Edited January 4, 2014 by Souzou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy Miller Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 If you applied to the Yale Neuroscience track - do you know if all invites have been sent out? On the results page, I recently saw someone received a phone call from them. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxonAxoff Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 If you applied to the Yale Neuroscience track - do you know if all invites have been sent out? On the results page, I recently saw someone received a phone call from them. Thanks! Though I can't be sure, I suspect that they have, unfortunately. Previous years' results suggest that Yale neuro issues only a single wave of phone invitations, never extending later than Jan. 6. While that does technically leave this Monday as a final possible invitation date, the program coordinator already sent out a lengthy group email to interviewees on Friday afternoon. It wouldn't make sense to send this message twice over such a short period, as opposed to sending it only once the final phone invitation has been issued. I sincerely hope I'm wrong, Daisy. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sn2 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Take it for what's it worth, but the calendar indicates Stanford Neuro admissions committee will be meeting tomorrow, so it's reasonable to expect invites some time this week: https://neuroscienceprogram.stanford.edu/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galaxstar Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 AxonAxoff, thanks for the info about MIT interviews, I will take it with quite a large heap of salt. Is anyone else here attending the Jan 23-25 Columbia interviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmw77 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Does anyone know if UCSD plans to send out more invites? I know some were sent out mid-December, but their website says that people will be notified by mid-January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imitosis Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Does anyone know if UCSD plans to send out more invites? I know some were sent out mid-December, but their website says that people will be notified by mid-January. Where did you see that UCSD Neuroscience sent out invites? There's nothing in this thread or on the results page, so I assumed invites would go out mid-January (seems to be the pattern from previous years).

There's nothing in this thread or on the results page, so I assumed invites would go out mid-January (seems to be the pattern from previous years). For what it's worth I don't think UCSD Neuroscience is under the UCSD BMS umbrella because they appear to have separate interview dates. The Neurosciences program has their dates listed on their website as March 5-7 but according to some posters, BMS interviews are Feb 6-9 and Feb 27-March 2. This is hopeful since I haven't seen any UCSD neuro invites out yet and since their weekend is a little later, invites didn't really need to be sent out prior to the holidays. imitosis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myelinated Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hey guys, I'm jumping in pretty late!

dare2lare Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Yeah, I'm curious about WashU as well , it looks like in past years they sent out interviews this week. Also, does anyone know if NYU has sent out anything for the CNS (neural science) program (not the neuroscience & physiology program)? Thanks!

moonchild1093 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hey NeuroGirl, I'm also hoping to receive an interview invitation from UMiami PIBS. How did you get an interview so early? When I called, they said they would be sendng them out "after the holidays," whatever the hell that means. PS: fistbump for Florida residents. I live in Miami, and know a ton of people in Tally, at UF, and at UM! Are you at FSU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joehanus Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Looks like another wave of northwestern NUIN invites might be going out again based on the results page - anyone heard anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuroGirl042 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hi moonchild! I sent most of my applications in the first week of November and a few more a couple weeks after that. I think having sent them in so early is the reason I heard back so fast =) I also had an interview/tour with my PI at UM over thanksgiving break, which probably didn't hurt either. I have a friend that got an invite yesterday, though, so they're definitely still sending them out! Yay Florida!!! Yes, I go to FSU. Last night was the most insane night here! Fireworks, people doing doughnuts in the streets, parties all night... haha I'm pretty tired today That game was worth it, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMac Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Does anyone know if UCLA or Emory are done sending out invites? Based on the email that Emory sent to current students, it looks like they're done with invites for on campus interviews. I think there's a chance that could change if a number of applicants declined. Sorry I don't have better news stmwap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachel Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Looks like another wave of northwestern NUIN invites might be going out again based on the results page - anyone heard anything?

If your friend got one, I'm a little concerned that I haven't...... Hope they send them out on a rolling/wave basis.......... Maybe I'll call tomorrow. And yes, my facebook news feed was blowing up about that game! Congrats! NeuroGirl042 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
