Call went great -- he was super welcoming and nice and basically just wanted to invite me to the weekend. Lol, my 4 pages of notes and "insightful" comments will be useful for the actual visit I guess! Congrats! Now you can relax somewhat as you are ready for the interview visit.

I was expecting to hear from 3 - 4 more places these past two weeks, but crickets on the results board. Also, are you applying in conjunction with your SO? I am--but he's in a different discipline. We applied to mostly overlapping schools, his results are a few weeks behind mine historically. The anxiety hoping we'll get into colocated programs is *intense*. Hi there, it looks like you've been accepted by OSU. Did your POI email you or you just check the website? I received feedback from my POI, said he placed my name onto a list of competitive applicants, but did not have too much news to report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overdetermination Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 @finch I just checked the website, and received an email from the Grad School not long after. During interview weekend (did I see you there perhaps?) my POI (PM for details) more or less assured my admittance so I was expecting it, but oddly enough I haven't received any messages from him since the notification from OSU.

guest2130 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Just curious if anyone else here applied for the Cog neuro program at GWU or the the biopsych program at Va Tech? Edited January 25, 2016 by neuro_queen spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

passenger47 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 In case anyone else was interested, I emailed University of Oregon and University of Washington graduate coordinators about interview invites. University of Washington behavioral neuroscience is done extending invites for this round of interviews and University of Oregon cognitive neuroscience is sending them out by the end of this week. Also learned that when Brandeis says you can't submit more than one grad application per academic year, they meant AT ALL, not just within one department (learned after I had submitted and paid the app fee for the Neuroscience MS...my bad for not understanding the instructions...)

psychgal2112 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Does anyone know if some schools skip the interview? Is that super uncommon for our programs? This wait is killing me and I'm trying to pass the time by overthinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that super uncommon for our programs? This wait is killing me and I'm trying to pass the time by overthinking I would say it is pretty uncommon for schools to not hold interviews, but of course, there are always exceptions to the rules, and there are definitely a handful of schools that do not conduct in-person interviews. Surprisingly, there are even some schools that do not conduct any type of interview apparently. (Someone recently received an acceptance from UCSC without any kind of interview on Results Search.) Out of all of the schools that my SO applied to, only 2 of them do not conduct in-person interviews. However, they both conduct Skype/phone interviews before extending an acceptance. I know what you are saying about the wait! It is excruciating! I am hoping that after the in-person interviews, my SO hears fairly quickly thereafter (from looking at the Results page, it looks like after the interview, if the POI wants to accept him, he should hear back no more than two weeks after the interview, which is terrifying because they are coming up so soon!!) Also, he has this weird Skype "interview" coming up that wasn't called an interview, but is for one of the programs that does not conduct in-person interviews. The email basically just said that she wants to talk about the lab and the program, does that mean he won't be getting interviewed or....what does it mean?? So ambiguous! Anyways, since he received the email all we have been doing is overthinking what is going to happen on the Skype call, so I am happy to join the club!

Yeah, I saw the UCSC one as well and that's what sparked my inquiry! I also saw for UCLA that they didn't do interviews for a particular year (even with interview dates posted online) so I'm thinking... how do we know for sure?? And that's so exciting for your SO! Sounds like it is lowkey an interview, but maybe it's just an opportunity for your SO to ask questions about the lab and program!

I really hope you are right! We have both been afraid to say that, just because that would really suck if we were wrong, but thanks for that! Good luck at your Brown/Northwestern interview next weekend btw! Still unsure whether my SO will be interviewing next weekend or 2/19 for NYU. So far we have heard nothing from the the department (interview schedule, rooming, etc.) so we are thinking either he will be going to the 2/19 interview, or everything is just going to be done very last minute.

FeelTheBern Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 @overdetermination@psychgal2112 Thanks for your help guys! I just wanted to let you both know (and anyone else who may have been following the conversation) that it turns out that there is an interview weekend for Tufts! Past results have not indicated an official interview weekend, but maybe there always has been? After an hour and a half Skype call, my SO was invited to the interview weekend, which is going to be Sunday/Monday 2/21-2/22 (heading to Boston two weekends in a row) and possibly back to back with NYU! This is going to be a busy, stressful, crazy month! Thanks again overdetermination, Gvh and psychgal2112 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
