NeuroMetro Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 @MADneuro I think that in regards to them, you have a sensible interest. The M/W lab would be a great opportunity, as there is a large amount of significant work being done there. They SEEM to be moving close to pain and inflammation treatments. So far, I have sat in on a few seminars. My impression is that there are some brilliant scientists there, and of course Boulder is great. My only concern is the direct-to-lab admittance style (probably because it's under a psychology dept. umbrella). Rather, I would prefer rotations where one gets to know multiple lab's personnel, projects, and mentors more thoroughly. Though, if it fits, it fits. Hoping for an 'official' visit and interview to get a more clear picture of the resources and curriculum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I wonder if MIT BCS is done. Anyone have any insight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edotdl Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 There seems to be a decent number of people who have received invites, judging by the survey, so not sure if there will be that many spots left. However, their RSVP date is 3/4 so maybe there's more to come. I'd probably wait till the end of next week before assuming their done/call/etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LwT Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Looks like lots of Minnesota invites went out...@StrongTackleBacarySagna I'm assuming it was an email from admissions rather than a specific POI? Multiple interview weekends or only the one?@proton was there only one vandy interview weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wookiee_and_the_vet Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Got a Stanford neuro invite! Interviews are 3/2-3/5.

One of the professors in the program emailed me yesterday and I had a call this morning to confirm. Congrats! I just looked at my application status and it still says it is incomplete (That they didn't get my official GRE scores, even though I have a receipt from ETS sending it). But apparently reviewers can review apps without that anyway. Oh well, might be a bittersweet but happy thing to get rejected from Stanford since living there would be a stretch on the stipend, lol.

I know Stanford is a wonderful place—and maybe my top choice if I get accepted— though that seemed like a hard question to answer without sounding like you're just sucking up to them.

I'm guessing it depends on which professor is in charge of which set of applications, so maybe there's hope till the end of the week? tbaran and proton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hm that's interesting. Fortunately no -- the email just said something like, "have some good news for you," and then asked about times I could take a phone call. I'm with you on this one though, it might be my top choice but I'd like to go on interviews before thinking about that. See you there in March!

guest2130 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 This may have been asked already, sorry! However, for those who have been invited for interviews have you noticed your application status change online? Two of my applications still only say "submitted" and it is making me feel like they dismissed my application immediately. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
