PeterPanComplex Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 UCSD Is still sending out invites!! Just heard Congratulations! Also, look at you getting interviews everywhere! You must be fr**** amazing! I was worried because at this point I assume that most, if not all invitations have been sent out by now. I did email 2 programs asking if they were done sending invites. Will update the forum if they are still sending them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abelt Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Has anyone heard from USC Neuroscience Graduate Program or Caltech Computation and Neural Systems Program? I have not heard back from USC yet, but judging from the results page, they historically send out invitation in mid-late january. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thindust Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) Just heard from UCSD a while ago, thrilled! I also heard from MIT a week ago and their questionnaire says to RSVP before 25th Jan, it is possible they will send invites up till a while before that? UCSD's and MIT's visit days partially overlap, but thankfully not the interview days! Edited January 12, 2015 by thindust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agrizz Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 What programs did you apply to at kentucky and tennessee? I just finished undergrad at UK and have applied there as well, in addition to UTHSC in Memphis For UKY, Experimental Psychology PhD, Behavioral Neuroscience and Pharmacology tract. For UT (Knoxville), Experimental Psychology PhD, Biological Psychology tract. I'd looked into UTHSC a while back but for some reason didn't find a good research match. Funding maybe? I can't remember... I've researched soooo many programs, they're all running together. What program at UK did you apply to. What POI (if you don't mind saying).

Chrissymisha Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I have a question or two for the person who posted "accepted" today for Neuroscience at UT San Antonio. Whoever you are, are reading this thread? I think they meant UTSA which is separate from UTHSCSA which from your signature is the one I think you applied to (could be wrong). I go to UTHSCSA and I don't think they've had their first interview weekend since the deadline hasn't technically passed yet. And I don't remember being asked to participate, but I could be wrong. I know they have a weekend Feb 5-7 because a friend of mine is going. I'm not sure if there is a January one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied to the behavioral neuroscience and psychopharmacology track as well. It's kind of my safety school, I just graduated from there for undergrad. But I haven't actually talked to anyone in the department as far as research goes. But I know Dr. Lorch from my psych minor there, he's the psych department chair. What about you?

I didn't even know UTSA had a neuroscience program, but apparently they do have a PhD program in neurobiology through the biology department. I'm interested - as a student there now, would you consider UTHSCSA one of your safety schools, mid-levels or hopeful options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I know Dr. Lorch from my psych minor there, he's the psych department chair. What about you? I reached out to Michael Bardo (who I'm sure you know is kind of a giant in addiction and decision making), but due to funding limitations, he pointed me towards Josh Beckmann. I've talked with him a few times and met with him at a conference in November. He is doing some very cool research on addiction, decision making and operant learning and even though it seems everyone is doing addiction research of some kind in UKY's psych program, I honestly think his is the most interesting.

Sarahlheath Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Congrats! Did you decline the NYU interview? I am in the same position, but can't think of a good way to handle the conflicts between UCSD, NYU, Columbia, and Harvard. Yeah NYU is skype interviewing me. MIT is flying me out separately because I have a conflict with UCSF. But harvard and columbia aren't conflicting.. Harvard is late January, Columbia is early February, and UCSD is late February.

I'm interested - as a student there now, would you consider UTHSCSA one of your safety schools, mid-levels or hopeful options? I actually never finished my application. I was exhausted after 11 applications, so I put it off, and then just never went back to it. At this point I probably couldn't even go if I got the interview, so the joke will be on me if my interviews don't go very well. For me I considered it a safety only because I've basically done the first year and half of the program because the PhD and MS programs are so similar. For an outsider I would say it's probably mid-tier. The admissions committee is really good at looking at the whole package and not focusing on GPA/GRE scores so much, but they're accepting half as many people as they did when I joined because of funding. It also depends on which track you plan on going into. Some are more competitive than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thindust Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Hey guys, I know many have received Northwestern (NUIN) interview invitations earlier on and there has recently been a wave of rejections. Does anyone know what it means to not have heard from them - and whether it is worth waiting or is it rather unlikely to get off a wait-list? I am really hoping to finalize my travel plans soon!

rawry0 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I've applied, still havent heard anything. I guess they will be a little later this month, since their deadline was on the 15th of dec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brains Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Yeah NYU is skype interviewing me. MIT is flying me out separately because I have a conflict with UCSF. But harvard and columbia aren't conflicting.. Harvard is late January, Columbia is early February, and UCSD is late February. Columbia and NYU both gave two weekends to choose from, but it seems like there's no way to attend all four interviews. Good to know that skype is an option!

I'm not sure what's going on there but I think their first interview session for is coming up! (I think it might be next week?). I would just call/email them and ask at this point.
