Hey guys, has anyone heard from Brown PhD neuroscience program? I'm curious because i haven't heard anything at all since i send the application. I wanted to make my final decision soon, but not without knowing about brown. 

Also, I was accepted to Albert Einstein College of Medicine. If anyone has any comments on what you think of AECOM or anything you know at all I would appreciate it!! I know it ends up being a personal decision, but I'm interested in reading other opinions! 

Thanks!!

Congrats!  I don't know anything, but there is also a neuroscience thread you might have more luck with.

Has anyone declined an offer from UCLA MBI? I'm having trouble navigating the online portal -- although it says I should be able to accept/decline through the site, I've been searching around and can't find the link to do so. Wanted to see if I'm missing something super obvious before just sending e-mails to the administrators. Thanks!

Officially accepted my offer at UCSF <3
Holla at me if you're also going there

[lord_dracarys]

Got accepted off the wait list by Northwestern DGP and since that was my first choice I'm going to accept their offer and decline my other offers at Pitt (IBGP), Madison, and UMD-College Park tonight.

Thats awesome! Congrats  Only regret is that I didn't apply there, I think. Still, very happy with my final program (UNC-CH BBSP)

Hi! I was accepted (NSGP) a few weeks ago. Did you apply to the NSGP or NIH partnership?

Has anyone heard from Tufts CMDB? Was told I am on the wait list, not too sure what my next move should be other than saying I'm still interested. Any advice?

Hey, I went to the January interview day, was accepted in February. I officially accepted the offer

Hi Everyone,

Usually the program coordinator or whoever gave you the news that you were admitted.

@bdnf_13.1 did you choose Brown? (if you don't mind my asking).

[Infinito]

That feeling when one of your previous top choices that waitlisted you now hits you up for a spot. And you're like "If you didn't pick me as a top choice candidate then, what makes you think I'd pick you now?" Cuz you've already made your choice~

[genes]

I've been accepted to the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech. My research interests are Developmental Biology and Genetics. Which school should I go to?

I've made a topic at the link below with a more detailed analysis of the schools. Hope you guys can help me!

I've been accepted to two great schools and am about to make a decision. Both are offering to fund me, but my top choice is paying a stipend that is about $700 less per year than the other choice. Both schools are in the same state.

Would it be rude to try to ask for more money before I accept the offer?

Expand  

I'd advise against asking for more money. $700 less is nothing. If the money is comparable, I'd go to where you feel like it'd be the best fit. Heck, I turned down a school that offered me 4K (more) per year.

Expand  

It would be very rude, and they will very likely tell you no! They likely have other very willing and just as qualified applicants waiting for admission.
