Bouton Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) Anyone heard from Berkeley neuro? I am assuming no word means rejection at this point since people are being redirected from neuro admission to their MCB program. 2 days ago I phoned the neuro department and their program coordinator said they are still sending things out, but I'm starting to lose hope. I'd like to know soon so I can stop worrying about it, as it's the last place I haven't heard from. Edited January 12, 2018 by Bouton

jasbee Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Does anyone know whether or not UCLA is done sending out invites? Last year only one person posted in January that they got an interview so idk for sure if they send them out on only one day in January (which I'm guessing is the case) or over multiple days. I just need to know whether or not that interview could possibly happen in order to schedule what weekend my brother should try to visit me at school.

I am waiting to book a flight for another interview based on whether I am invited to this one!
minds Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 I got an invite today for the University of Maryland SOM GPILS Neuroscience program for Feb 9th or Feb 23rd. It's my third invite and both dates conflict with the previous two. I guess I'm sending that painful email asking for "alternate arrangements," which at least the email mentioned were possible. I don't know how some folks swing half a dozen or more interviews. Now I'm nervous about both rejections and invites.

Also got unofficially rejected from UPenn when I tried to update my application I emailed them, and they said they received almost 400 applications this year. Feeling pretty sad because I still haven't received an interview from any of the schools I applied to Just to double check - did UPenn say they were done sending out all invites? I've been assuming they were done, but it would be nice to know for sure.

jasbee Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 Just called UCLA NSIDP and they said they are still reviewing applications at this point so I guess the waiting continues

Their website said people should be notified by late Dec./early Jan.... unless they're sending them in waves to see who responds and then filling the spots with backups?

No they didn't say when they'd be done or what stage they were at - they just said they were "still reviewing applications"

They were my #1 school, and I got the e-mail to re-send resume/CV but haven't heard back from them since then. Here's to hoping I might be on a waitlist or something.

I remember seeing your stats post and thinking it was uncanny how close your GPA, GRE scores, research experience and interests were to my own. You even outrank me in a few areas. Based on your interests, I imagine you are probably looking at some of the same POIs at Maryland that I am. If you don't get an invite, I'd be really surprised.

Have you gotten an official email from them yet? I still haven't heard anything back from Stanford and I know they were letting people know late last week (albeit informally). Have they followed up phone calls with official emails from the program or are you guys still waiting for that?
