I don't think MIT has finished sending out applications yet. I worked in BCS for a summer and emailed my PI last week, from what she knows they're sending invites until January like usual. But she isn't as involved with admissions this year, so take that with a grain of salt...

It was actually their mistake but I think they might be nice enough to let you know if all your documents weren't sent in- this says incomplete because I didn't send my official transcript but I uploaded all my unofficial ones? But I don't think they needed official idk whats going on with that Edited December 27, 2016 by pitt_neuroundergrad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lswat33 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Hello all! I thought reading about others experiences in the process would dampen my anxiety a little - boy was I wrong! Here is my list: MUSC (interview 19-21 January) UVM (skype interview 24 January) Brown BU GPN Tufts Sackler I saw earlier that people had heard from Brown, does anyone know if that was their only wave of interview emails (for both the regualr and NIH collaboration)? Also, has anyone heard from Tufts or BU GPN? Also, feel free to PM me! I'm a relatively new lurker on the site and would love to chat! Congratulations to all those who have gotten interviews, and best of luck to everyone through the rest of this process NeuroMetro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neuro449 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 UCSD Neuro sent me a rejection letter yesterday (Dec 27). I also just received an interview to Weill Cornell Neuroscience. The dates are 2/8-2/10, which overlap with my UC Davis interview, so I'm trying to reschedule them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nihchick2017 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Has anyone else in this thread applied to Stanford Neuro? Also, has anyone heard back? I know they don't usually send out invites until the 2nd week of Jan but UCSD and UCSF both sent out invites hella early this year so I'm wondering if Stanford did too.

Yes, and I haven't heard anything yet. No one on the results search appears to have either. On the flip side, Wisconsin sent out their interview invites over a week later than usual; I guess they just like to keep us on our toes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you do the response card, you can select no for February and it will ask you if you can come for the January session (apparently they have two sessions). I had to reschedule because I also have an interview from UC Davis. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there are more still to come, MIT was very high (if not top) of my list. Same here. If anyone has received an invite to MIT, could you please fill us in on the interview date(s)?

levelground Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Hey everyone! UCSD grad (Cog Sci Neuro), feeling the burn like everyone else. Got a phone call interview invitation from MIT BCS back on 12/9, which felt like a great sign. Then nothing for a while, followed by a rejection from UCSD on 12/27. my list: - Stanford Neurosciences - UCSF Neurograd - UCSF Tetrad - Berkeley Helen Wills - UCLA NSIDP - UCSD Neurosciences (rejected 12/27) - MIT BCS (invited 12/9 via phone call) - NYU Neural Science - Columbia Neurobiology and Behavior - U Washington Neurosciences It seems like Stanford hasn't done anything yet, but UCLA, UCSF, and UCSD are mostly sent? What about Berkeley? Columbia? UW? NYU? Those seem to mostly be professors making individual calls at this point - is that right? Finally, do we know anything about # of invitations vs. # of admission offers for MIT BCS in previous years? Best of luck to each of you. I hope you are having better luck with managing your stress than I am! cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied to -Harvard -MIT -Tufts -BU GPN -Mt Sinai -NYU -Columbia And haven't heard from any of them yet. Am I doomed? Or is it still early in the game? Also how are people dealing with the stress?

cmykrgb Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Harvard typically only send out interviews in one day, which they already have plus they only have one interview weekends(1/19-1/22). someone on this forum called sinai and confirmed that mt sinai is not sending out any more interviews.
