Just received an email from NYU Sackler! No idea how many they accepted, but I think they said at the interview they were aiming for a class of 16.

Oh f*ck..... they're my top choice........... no email yet ://///////////////////

Was your offer specifically for the Sackler program and is that number for only the Sackler program or the "combined Neuroscience program"? They kept talking about merging the Sackler/CNS programs together, so it was unclear how that would affect offer numbers, etc.

Also received an offer from NYU. To the above poster, my offer was specifically for the Sackler Institute of New York University School of Medicine. I applied for the neuroscience and physiology program through Sackler. Not sure how CNS is handling admission offers, and I'm not sure if that class of 16 is for the combined neuro program or just Sackler.

My offer specifically stated my offer was from the Sackler program. I just heard the number 16 flying around a lot at the interview weekend, no idea if that is the exact number.

How do you know you were wait listed?  Did they email you or did you have to ask?

I am planning on accepting the offer, but no worries! At least you have another acceptance in your pocket! Maybe you can call NYU and ask if the wait list is ranked and reiterate that NYU is your top choice.

I did almost exactly that. Well, I hope I get to see you there in the fall after all of this!

Yeah, Joel Oppenheimer sent me an email. You should send an email if you haven't heard.

My hotel roomie was there for CNS and she definitely got different information regarding when she would hear etc.

Hi,

 

Any updates on Princeton, USC, Brandeis? As in, have they sent out the mails for interviews already or is there still a chance?

And has NYU sent out all the interview invites already?

I believe Brandeis has sent out their invitations. Their third and final interview weekend is scheduled for this week.

Has anyone heard from Wake Forest Neuro yet??

 

They had one weekend as far as I know, it was canceled due to snow and they sent out emails to reschedule in a Skype interview.

I believe NYU has already sent out all their interview invites.

Both the CNS & Sackler Programs have been sending out decision letters. However, I did see on the "Results Search" that one individual has an interview in March. Not sure what that means or entails specifically.

Just declined an interview (was supposed to be later this week), so perhaps you'll hear from them soon.  Good luck.

Does anyone have any info about Maryland Baltimore? I've seen one accepted post on here, but that was a week ago. When should I get pessimistic?

Though I haven't heard anything specific about the school, I'd say now is the time to get pessimistic, unfortunately :(

Most schools seem to be either finishing up or done sending out their offer letters/final rejections. If you haven't gotten an interview by now, chances are slim since most schools contact you to schedule the logistics for travel around late-Dec/early-Jan in order to have the interviews in Feb so that they have an answer to you by around this time to march/early april..

Has anyone heard about acceptance from UVA Biomedical Sciences (specifically neuroscience)? I attended their February 6-8 interview weekend, and the radio silence is killing me.

I got in a week after my interview (1/16) but I have since turned them down. But I applied directly to the NGP and interviewed with the NGP admissions committee.

Is there anyone who was accepted to Ohio State's NGSP who isn't planning on attending? If you're on the fence, I think you should go to (insert other school here) instead.
