If so, how do you reply? Do you answer vaguely (I'm interviewing at 5 comparable programs) or do you name the schools? What do you think are the pros/cons to either response? I've been asked this by a quite a few of the PIs who've interviewed me and so far I've been answering honestly and telling them the school names. They usually just say something along the lines of "It sounds like you'll have some good options" and then tell me why I should come to their school instead

So much comes down to chance, and there's clearly a reason why you've got an interview with them in the first place. Stick to your strengths, don't lie, and everything will be fine. Good luck!

I'm the international and I applied to the BSTP of CWRU, UT health and science center at Houston, U of Maimi (PIBS) and U of Kentucky (IBS). Is there anyone who is an international student to get the email from them? I really hope that I can know when my waiting will be done at least. And I saw some assumption that the reviewing process and initiation for the international is different with domestic. Is it true? If it is, is there someone to explain how different it is? Thanks! I am an international student from Korea too (not a neuro applicant tho). I heard back from UTH GSBS before Christmas, and I will be interviewing on Feb. 23 - 25.

Neuroro Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 Any of you know when the Brown Neuro interview is?

There's only 1 post in the Results section from Tuesday, and no one has mentioned anything about BU in this thread (except for me asking about it). What would make you think they're done sending out invites?

What would make you think they're done sending out invites? I am wondering the same thing! I applied to both the Anatomy and Neurobiology and the GPN programs. I was just contacted by the admin for AaN program asking for clarification on a piece of my application so I think it might be safe to say they're still in the review process! Has anyone else been placed on the waitlist (to interview) for Brown/NIH dual program? Kind of losing my mind around it! 0_o Edited February 2, 2017 by lswat33

pemmymiranda Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 @dbBDK I have heard from other people outside this forum who have received interviews from BU. I thought it would be logical to ask and confirm. Why waste time guessing/hoping when you can know for sure and move on, is my philosophy. But maybe that's just me. Nomad1111 1
Neuroro Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 Good morning guys, it's monday! I guess a lot of admissions will be sent out this week. Hope all of us get several !!! PhDHopeful3 and Nomad1111 2
Chingoo Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Hey folks, any idea how many interviews MIT sends out (and how many of those are accepted)? Any tips? It's like my only real shot.

seven27 Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) I haven't heard from UW either. A few of the current students said they heard back quickly, so I was expecting to hear back later this week or early next week. Edited February 15, 2017 by seven27 mystery and intrigue

Any tips? It's like my only real shot. I'm not totally sure, but we know they're looking to enroll 15-20, so let's say they offer to 2x that, so let's be conservative and say they send out 30 admissions offers. Although I've seen from previous years that they hold a waitlist, so they might offer to 15-20 and waitlist the rest and rolling admit. They only have one interview weekend, so we'll see pretty quick how many people they're interviewing soon (plus a few extra for international applicants residing overseas)
seven27 Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) Just heard from UW. Hope it's good news for @neuroslice and @Bbbbbbbb (and whoever else is waiting for a response) as well Edited February 18, 2017 by seven27 Bbbbbbbb 1

guest2130 Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 anyone else apply for WVU-behavioral neuroscience? Have you heard back?
nescacphd Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Has anyone who interviewed with Georgetown IPN heard back yet?
