Congrats to NYU folks!!!!

For myself though I am super bummed... Wonder if there's any chance they don't send out all emails at once?

I hope so!  I'm still hanging on - looks like emails are still personalized for the name (haha) so it might take a while to get to everyone.  I know since I'm at the very end of the alphabet, I've had my fill of freaking out when others post on this forum early.  And then I finally get an email around dinnertime.

Oop I too have a name very much at the end of the alphabet so I will hold on to hope! Fingers crossed for us both!

I believe Emory has. Their email indicated they already extended interview invitations to 53 students.

I got an email from UNC saying they will continue reviewing applications after winter break

[anon15]

Does anybody know if UCLA and Berkeley have finished sending out invites? Their websites say interview offers will be made in early January, but I'm not sure if they changed something

[Cervello]

Has anyone heard from Yale?

The Emory invite was for both weekends.  They're still cutting down the 53 interviewees at that stage.  The email emphasized they want a final class size of 15.

Hi!

Is anyone International here? I haven't recieved any interview intiviations.... Is the timeline different or was my application just not good enough?

Be happy to share my resume and hear your thoughts...

[FlipWizard]

Sooooo I just called them and they said they're still sending out invites "today, later today, early next week" 

Edit: I feel like I have been calling programs more than most people do. Hope this isn't a bad thing :/

Agh are people hearing from MIT BCS officially? I had a pre-interview Skype yesterday and I see interview invites starting to appear on the results page...

There is only one and it was from awhile ago, unless you've seen another today? 

[Drifloon]

Most MIT BCS updates on the results page don't show when searching "neuroscience." Try "BCS" and you'll find a few more.

Here! I suggest you check the results section (top of this page) so that you can find out more information for the programs you applied.

Relax! there is still a lot of them didn't send out interviews.

[Drifloon]

There are still a few of us (international and non-international) left who've gotten zero interviews. Sorry, guys. Hope we can still try to enjoy our holidays through the stress.
