StrongTackleBacarySagna Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Since the bio thread should be focused on molecular, pathological, etc. I started this thread for neuroscience people to talk about results. So far it looks like only a couple people have posted on the survey so not many invites have been sent out, as you'd expect. Did anyone else apply already? Are there more deadlines in the future for anywhere? kokobanana 1
kokobanana Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 I applied to mostly neuroscience programs (5 out of 6 of my applications). I haven't heard back yet, but I know that some of the places I applied are reviewing applications this week.
kokobanana Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 It's been on my mind so much, I've started having dreams about hearing back (and not in a good way!). Microburritology and jzhan118 2
bdnf_13.1 Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 UConn and UMass have started sending invites out but those are general umbrella programs where you pick your concentration later.
Neuro PolarBear Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 A fair number of neuro people have been posting in the other thread, so I'm not sure this one's necessary. I did, however, apply to neuro programs.
4eyes Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Does anyone know roughly how admissions boards perceive Canadian schools like U of Toronto or McGill? McGill has a really strong neuro undergrad program but I'm unsure where it might stand internationally
jzhan118 Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Any one knows when Northwestern Neuro program sends out invitations?

I did, however, apply to neuro programs. Agreed. I applied to Neuro and CMB/Umbrella programs. Though, I'm happy for this to be the neurotic thread where people keep asking if people received interview e-mails or not, or heard back about stuff, in order to keep the other thread cleaner NeuroMetro 1
Gvh Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 @jzhan118 It seems so! I also applied http://thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=northwestern+neuroscience&t=a&o=d

It keeps everything less cluttered and easier to search.

fr0sting Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 I like the fact that we have our own neuro thread actually.. will be easier to check here. I'm so anxious about hearing back!
den-of-thieves Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Agreed with all of the above! Thanks for starting this, @StrongTackleBacarySagna!
Superres Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 I've heard that one of my top choice received a record number of applications this year... Which is great for science...but I just hope it doesn't take longer to hear back about interviews....
Edotdl Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 I'll join. I'm applying to two (three if you count Caltech CNS) Neuro programs, UCSF and MIT. Side note: why is the engineering forum so deserted compared to the life sciences...

Neuro PolarBear Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 See, two threads are twice the work to follow! NeuroMetro and Superres 2

Superres Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 A friend just told me about WUSTL, but that's an indirect source....
Superres Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 It's probably also more difficult/a pain in the butt, but I'm sure there are ways to apply to be a visiting student at Janelia even if you end up somewhere other than one of their partner schools.
