MidnightRun Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Caltech Neurobiology communicated recruitment invites today through skype!! what do you mean? The department held interviews through skype or Google hangout last week, and then video chatted some interviewees yesterday (Jan 25th) to invite them to visit the campus and faculty. I don't know the exact dates yet. By recruitment, I mean to say they offered an unofficial acceptance ). I am not sure if all interviewees should have heard back friday though :/ I wish you the best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anatomist Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Pitt started sending out interview invites way back in December. They have several interview weekends, starting next week and going through February. Applicants were given their choice of dates. I have no idea if they are planning on inviting more people or not. Many thanks for letting me know. I'm getting increasingly worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neuroscienceuser Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Did anybody get invite for interviews from USC NGP/ Weill Cornell/ Mt. Sinai/ UTSW/ BCM? Any news about any of them? I'm going to Weill Cornell, interview is Feb. 13/14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScannerBrainly Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 In case anyone was wondering about USC interview invites, I called on Thursday to inquire. They said they are still in the process of sending them out to domestic students and not to worry yet. joehanus and him8390 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dare2lare Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Does anyone know the chances of acceptance for interviewed students at USC? same question does anyone have any insight, maybe students from last year's cycle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonchild1093 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Does anybody know what happened with last year's NYU Neuro&Phys rejection massacre? People said that there were over 950 applicants for 35 spots, but do we know if there was a similarly low number of interview invitations? Were people rejected post-interview? Anybody still here from last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmw77 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Just curious--but for those going to next week's Emory neuroscience interview that received their itinerary today, how many faculty are you interviewing with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMac Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Just curious--but for those going to next week's Emory neuroscience interview that received their itinerary today, how many faculty are you interviewing with? I believe all should be interviewing with 6. That's what I did. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iammaffyou Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I wrote to a potential PI regarding the CUNY Neuroscience Collaborative. Decisions on who to invite for interviews will be made this week. Interviews will take place 2/28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody still here from last year? Not sure, but I imagine they interviewed a bit more than they could take. It looks like they sent out a big wave of rejections this time around. I haven't heard anything from them (reject or invite) so I'm not sure what that means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard anything either way. Maybe, early February will bring some news? (Hopefully, good) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrossover Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 A bit late to the game- just discovered this forum! Is it strange that I am quite excited about this? I was wondering, are your chances of acceptance worse if you are asked to interview for the second interview weekends rather than the first? Or are the invites sent out more so based on when the applications were turned in? I'm asking specifically for UPenn, UCI and UCLA. Thanks! What program are you applying to at UCI? The Interdepartmental Neuroscience Program, for example, only has one interview weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leealex0201 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Hi guys, Anybody applied to UCL-gatsby unit? I called them yesterday and left a message asking my admission status. They sent me back an email with a rejection-slap(ouch). Here goes my dream to travel to London for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irinanj1 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Hi guys, Anybody applied to UCL-gatsby unit? I called them yesterday and left a message asking my admission status. They sent me back an email with a rejection-slap(ouch). Here goes my dream to travel to London for free. If it makes you feel any better, UK schools don't pay for your interview visit. Had to pay everything on my own when was invited for interview in Cambridge (as an undergraduate appicant). Also, their requirements for funded international (non-UK) students are extremely high, since (with a very few exceptions) their Research Council does not pay for international students and private funding at UCL is very limited. stmwap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said they are still in the process of sending them out to domestic students and not to worry yet. Bleh. Given that you posted this 4 days ago with information from the previous week, I guess I should start bracing myself for that rejection notification.

Souzou Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Got an acceptance letter in the mail yesterday from CUNY-Graduate Center for their Biology doctoral program. I guess they accept some people without interviews? Not sure how the process works... stmwap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa.UVA Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Aaah guys I just needed to say that I got my interview schedule for UVA next week and I'm interviewing with Iggy Provencio!! Woot! On a different note, they also put me with my current PI. Has this ever happened to anyone before? What is that going to be like since we already know each other and my research??

ScannerBrainly Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Bleh. Given that you posted this 4 days ago with information from the previous week, I guess I should start bracing myself for that rejection notification. I called again today and was told that no final decisions have been made. However, I'm guessing that I should also brace for a rejection letter.

joehanus Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I called again today and was told that no final decisions have been made. However, I'm guessing that I should also brace for a rejection letter. I received an email today from USC saying that they finished reviewing my application and need official transcripts "in order to proceed" (which I did send back when they were due...). Anyway, hopefully they're not making me spend $$ with rush delivery in order for them to "proceed" in rejecting me. Who knows - but I wouldn't give up hope yet.
