Applying for Neuroscience/Neurobiology Ph.D. programs for Fall 2014

Hmm I see. I'm pretty sure each track has a separate commission. If your primary one was Systems that would explain the boom of invitations :D

I think you're right - computation track e-mails got sent out about a week ago. The RSVP deadline was January 21, so I expect computational track invitations to be all sent out by that point. It sounded like they might do a second round of interviews afterwards though, depending on how many people responded.

The e-mail I got mentioned both the computation and cognition tracks (and these were my two choices), but I'm not sure if they are doing a separate round of e-mails for people who listed cognitive science as their first choice.

I heard back from Caltech Neurobiology yesterday. Apparently they are doing interviews via video calls on google hangouts, then having a recruitment weekend later on.

Congrats! I also got a skype interview and have already been asked to interview tomorrow (which isn't a lot of time to prepare!)

Right?? Do you think it will be a group conference with the whole committee? That's what the email made it sound like. I was expecting to be able to at least know who I'll be talking to.

 

Edit: Jk, they just emailed me and told me the committee members.

Yeah, I know, it's only thirty minutes though so hopefully it won't be too intense. I'm scheduled to meet with 3 professors so I'm guessing it will be a group conference with the whole committee - we'll soon find out I guess.

I have Virginia this Thursday then Denver Sunday and then UNC next thursday. Whirlwind tour of the US over the next 6 weeks. Don't know how much of it is the coffee right now, but I'm unbelievably excited!

Also found out I'll be interviewing with the discoverer of melanopsin at UVA, which is pretty awesome!

I went to UVA as an undergrad, and can attest to that :) 

 

Good luck 2014 applicants!

For those who got a phone invite for interview for MIT BCS (systems track), did you get any follow up email? I got a phone invite and the person said I will receive an email shortly with the information but I didn't get anything :/

Has anyone heard from Rockefeller? They said they would sent invites out by email today.

Yeah looks like they were all sent out at around 5pm EST. Check this thread:

Okay Stanford finally replied me to say I have been rejected...

Do you guys know if that's just for neuroscience or all of Stanford psychology? :( I'm too scared to call/email...

I just got an interview to UCLA for Feb 22-24.  Does anyone know if there are any other interview weekends? Also does anyone who has already interviewed/seen the schedule for the weekend know if the interview starts on the 22nd, or if you must arrive on campus that day?
