minds Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 For those interested, I just got an email from UTHealth/MD Anderson Houston GSBS with an interview invite for the second weekend in February. Now I have a second interview to keep me from losing my cool if I don't survive Emory Neuroscience's needlessly competitive interview weekend (56 invites, 15 positions)!

Baller123 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) Undergrad Institution: Big State School, good reputation in biologyMajor(s): NeuroscienceMinor(s): Computer ScienceGPA in Major: 3.97Overall GPA: 3.91Position in Class: 2-4%Type of Student: Domestic, Male GRE Scores (revised/old version):Q: 166 V: 168W: 4.5B: N/AResearch Experience: Three years, 2 labs. Lab 1) 2 years, 1 publication to Cell Neuron (Systems Neuroscience). Worked both summers as well. Received scholarship for second summer. Lab 2) Theoretical Neuroscience. 8 months, independent research. Potential first author publication. I've graduated early, so I might not be able to continue volunteering and affording rent. Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Provost's Honors List every year, definitely Magna Cum Laude (maybe Summa) Summer Research ScholarshipPertinent Activities or Jobs: Just researchAny Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help:If any of the adcoms want Club Frisbee players, I'd be an athletic deep on any team. Special Bonus Points: PIs promised very strong LORs. One professor is super young and ambitious. He was at Stanford and Janelia Farm and is well-connected. The other professor used to be very active in comp neuro and is fairly well-connected, but has taken interest in helping undergrads develop skills recently. Any Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter: CS Minor GPA: 3.93 Applying to Where:I can't remember the name of every program, neuroscience everywhere (specifically comp/theory) Stanford UCSD UC Berkeley CalTech - CNS MIT - BCS Columbia UW - Computational Neuroscience McGill Carnegie-Mellon - PNC Current Status Invitations to Interview UW CalTech - CNS CMU - SyNRG (They referred my application to this department. Going to wait for PNC (although it's a long shot)). Rejections Columbia - Theoretical Neuroscience (95% sure they are not giving anymore invitations) Edited December 22, 2017 by Baller123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dycka Deshycka Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Is is true that Harvard BBS only sent out one interview batch? If so, I'm kinda glad since this is my only chance of leaving this area... Also, have anyone heard from Stanford Bioscience and UCSD BMS? I got interview from UCSF BMS and UCSD Bio so far, which are my top choices, so I don't really care for the rest (hopefully I don't fuck up the interviews!).

minds Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 2 hours ago, strugglebus2k17 said: Which program within MD Anderson did you apply to? Neuroscience? Yeah, but the email didn't specify the Neuroscience program. It only mentioned the GSBS. But I imagine the various programs are reviewing at different times, and because the email mentioned that there are other interview dates (aside from the one I was invited for), they might be sending out more invites. It looks like they sent out some interviews for Cancer Bio and Genetics, as well, according to the survey. Which program did you apply to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
