2012 Official Biosciences Interviews and Results

<p>@NeuroIm4</p>

<p>I received a Tufts Neuroscience invite via phone last Thursday. I know their interview is Feb. 17th. No idea if they are done reviewing applications yet though.</p>

<p>@ NeuroIm4: Rockefeller still has more committee meeting, no worry, it’s still early.
And you have invitation from two really good institution, so you’re fine! </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>I agree with the others. Two good invites show that your stats are nothing to worry about. I don’t pay attention to neuro deadlines/dates but I’m aware that the schedules can be later and less predictable for international students. Stay calm and patient. :)</p>

<p>Just got off the phone with Stanford (Chemistry) They said that they will send out notifications by the end of January.</p>

<p>Called NYU Sackler today, there is still some hope for those waiting to hear. They are 60% through all the applications.</p>

<p>Thanks all! That at least makes me feel somewhat better. I know I should be very happy with the two invites I already have, and I am… But this madness of not knowing anything, is crazy. Well I’ll just try to stay calm and patient!</p>

<p>Just got rejected from UW-Madison which is my undergrad. college. Ouch…</p>

<p>I saw the first interview of the year from Caltech Bioengineering posted on Grad Cafe today. Did anyone one else receive an invite?</p>

<p>Currently I have received interview invites from NYU Sackler institute, Berkeley neuro, UCSF neuro, Duke neuro, WashU biological sciences and Brown Neuro (not NIH).</p>

<p>I am still waiting for Stanford, Columbia and UCSD. I am really waiting for UCSD, its my top choice! Does anyone know if they are still sending invites? A friend of mine received an invitation from Columbia so I am kind of assuming I got rejected there.</p>

<p>im waiting on ucsd too. anyone hear from uw-seattle for neuro? where are you all seeing posts on grad cafe?</p>

<p>why would you rather go to ucsd than berkeley or ucsf?</p>

<p>Post your results if you haven’t yet, it’s a great resource.</p>

<p>@tntncsu</p>

<p>Yes, I was invited to interview with UW Seattle Neurobiology on December 15th via email. As far as I am aware they only offered two interview dates (both in the same week). Jan 24-25 or 25-26. </p>

<p>I would be surprised if they are still sending out invites being that the interview is now less than two weeks away. </p>

<p>Hope this helps and sorry to be the bearer of potential bad news.</p>

<p>Anyone know when the last Rockefeller meeting is (heard there was another one, can someone confirm)?</p>

<p>UCSD Biological sciences hasn’t sent all of its invites yet. I was told that they have reviewed the applications but are still waiting to make some decisions. </p>

<p>So keep your fingers crossed</p>

<p>@seniorspring</p>

<p>I am still waiting for the interviews to decide what University I will be going. Nonetheless UCSD has a computational neuroscience specialization that looks great, lots of courses in computational and theoretical neuroscience. This is something that not every program has.</p>

<p>Just called UCSD Neuro program. Said that the remainder of the interviews will go out today or tomorrow. It’s not over yet, but I am doubtful for myself…good luck everyone…it will be an email!</p>

<p>btw, tomorrow is friday the 13th…good luck everyone!</p>

<p>@langerhans I was rejected too from my undergrad school for biochemistry. No love…</p>

<p>Did research for 2 labs + was a TA for an upper-level biochem class there too. I am almost too embarrassed to let my friends and family know. I guess I should have expected it since they only interview 10-15 people out of ~150 students who apply. ARGH! Very annoying.</p>

<p>I find out that most graduate schools like to send out interview invitations on Thursday and Friday. I just got one from UMASS Biomedical Sciences program.</p>
