I have interviews for Harvard January 21-23, UCLA February 20-22, and MIT March 10-12. Still waiting to hear back from Columbia! 

 

Congrats to everyone receiving invites and good luck to those waiting, there is still plenty of time!

Congrats on all those schools! I heard back from MIT today from my POI and was quite excited. I'm not sure if all the Columbia invites went out, but a bunch of students reported getting emails this weekend.

Congrats to you too! I missed the call from MIT and almost didn't listen to the voicemail because I assumed Dr.'s office. Glad I checked it, see you there!

I assumed it was the dentist! I'll also see you at Harvard on the 21-24th.

Does anyone know when JHU neuro is planning on sending out invitations? I assume since no one has posted anything on the survey that they won't send anything out until January...but I know that last year invites were sent out around this time. Also, to anyone applying to UCSF neuro, I sent an email and they said that they won't be sending anything out until the first week of January.

Another note: Vanderbilt NGP sent out only one round of invitations. I think another round may go out after the holidays.

Is this for MIT Biology or BCS? I got an email from BCS saying they'd announce interviews in Jan but the whole thing is a little cloak and daggerish.

It looks like JHU started sending out results today. Interviews are February 16–19th.

Mine was for BCS. I also got the same email that said we wouldn't hear until January so I was surprised. The call came from a professor I mentioned in my SOP and she confirmed that the email would be later. I'm not sure if everyone received a call or not.

That's what's confusing me as well. I'm secretly hoping that my POI just didn't call me and is waiting for the official email to go out in January. In reality, though, my hopes have gone down to almost 0.

I just want them to send me a rejection email so I can stop thinking about it.

Congrats to everyone that got an interview.

Well BCS seems different in the sense that you had to specify readers for your application, rather than it being just a straight up adcom. It's possible that readers have until January to look them over but some have done so earlier than others. That's my theory for why I haven't heard yet...the first stage is denial.

denial -> hope(!) -> check for new emails -> dismay -> denial

@Superres Where'd you get the info about Vandy NGP!? Appreciate it, give me a little hope!

Looking for some input. I was just promoted at work today for a product development scientist position and am wondering if I should contact every school to notify them of this? Should I email the admissions/program office? Call them? Send an updated CV/Resume to each school? Or would that be negligible at this point in the process?

I'm new here, so hi everyone!

Just wondering, has anyone heard back from NYU or Mt. Sinai?

I sent an email to the director of graduate studies and he told me that the first round of invitations went out, but another round was likely to go out soon! I'm assuming after the holidays.

I've seen some Princeton results on the survey, but no one here as posted about them, right?

Hello, it's me.. ;)

Hey guys, I'm new here, but I've been lurking for weeks now! I thought I should finally speak up. Anyway, this thread has been really great! I hope I get to meet some of you at the interviews :).

Can those who have heard from WashU give us any more details--the latest one said "interview on website" so I like sprinted onto it but it doesn't say anything ? *lights 5000 candles**

NYU is my number 1 choice. I'm also praying for another round. 

Same here, seems like not a lot of people got invites. Here's hoping there's another round. Best of luck.
