<p>@edukimi & @MicroB2012 --Thank you!! do you guys know anything about brown and UT Southwestern neuro?</p>
<p>princebear：you can go to <a href=“http://www.thegradcafe.com%5B/url%5D”>www.thegradcafe.com</a> and research the results.</p>
<p>@Th2Cell Thats right! I haven’t started suit shopping for interview season. Its totally an investment! We’ll wear these clothes during every poster/conference presentation for the rest of our scientific careers ;)</p>
<p>Have anyone applied to Biology/Biomedical Engineering/Neuroscience at MIT, JHU, UT Austin, Case Western, UW-Madison, UMN-Twin Cities, or UCI? Are there any updates like interviews or acceptances from those schools?</p>
<p>@msr420 I applied to the Biology & Biological Engineering programs at MIT. Haven’t heard from either. Based on grad cafe results in previous years, MIT BE sends interview invites mid Jan-mid Feb and it looks like MIT Biology sends them early Jan.</p>
<p>@msr420 - In my notes for past invites, I have some references to two of those MIT programs. </p>
<p>For the Biology, Jan 6 2012, Jan 7 2011, Jan 8/9 2010. All of those dates were the first Friday after New Years. Will that make it Jan 4, 2013 this year or will they not be ready in time?</p>
<p>For BCN, in the past there does not seem to be a single day that invites go out. On Grad Cafe forums, there is already one person who received an invite prior to xmas. In my notes, I had written a range from Jan 2 to Feb 8 for past invites.</p>
<p>^ Opps BCS not BCN. Too many different mnemonics.</p>
<p>I started suit shopping a few months ago and I couldn’t agree more. I don’t know where you live but Joseph A. Bank always has some sort of buy 1 get 2 free sale going on. I got 3 suits for the price of 1. Albeit I spend $450 on that one suit but I have to say they are the best fitting and most comfortable suits I have ever worn!! I’ve been trying to get my wife to let me buy more but I haven’t been very successful yet!!</p>
<p>diamedic17, hontoOishi: I just carry ear-marked copies of GQ to Macy’s and Nordstrom and try to create looks that are somewhat de rigueur…it’s a trying task on a budget, but that, in itself, is a translational skill that can be applied to one’s scientific career! :D</p>
<p>No suits! You don’t need to wear a suit to interviews, or to poster presentations later on. A pair of nice pants and a button-down shirt is perfectly appropriate for anything you’ll ever do in your scientific career. </p>
<p>I’m a woman, and I prefer to wear a skirt and a button-down or a sweater for these sorts of occasions, and I am definitely right on the edge of being overdressed. (And have been told so more than once.)</p>
<p>Oh, man, Don Draper lied to me… :(</p>
<p>NYU Sackler Neuroscience Interview- January 24-25</p>
<p>Interview invitation to UNC Chapel Hill BBSP- Interview dates Feb14-16th. I signed up for Duke that weekend, hopefully Duke will still allow me to switch my interview to Feb 1 :/</p>
<p>Neuron17! Good job! The NYU interview weekend rocks! And congrats to you, too, biotechstudent! Which programme did you apply to at Duke? I applied to Immunology and it has been very silent…ah, well. </p>
<p>On a different note, anyone going to the U of A at Tucson?</p>
<p>Thanks Th2Cell! Have you been to the NYU interview weekend before? What do they do that makes it different from other schools?</p>
<p>Thanks Th2Cell! I applied to the Cell Molecular Biology Program</p>
<p>Yessir/Yes’m Neuron17, I have! I interviewed for them once before, and it’s a great time. They take you out and about–some Broadway, some New York nightlife, and the grad students and faculty with whom I interacted were friendly and open. Have fun!</p>
<p>@Th2Cell, I am interviewing U of A Tuscon Jan 24-26</p>
<p>Me, too, zotzotzot13! I received a phone call from them asking which weekend I’d prefer, and I chose the 24-26th January one. I haven’t heard anything else, though…</p>
<p>I’ve noticed that Weill Cornell Neuroscience and Pharmacology programs are both on February 15th. Do all the programs have interviews on the same weekend? I’m already having a conflict with UNC chapel hill and duke so I emailed duke requesting to change my date to the first interview weekend, Feb 1st. Should I go ahead and ask UNC chapel hill to change my interview date as well? I applied to the Weill Cornell BCMB Allied program and last year they didn’t send out invites until 1/17!</p>
