grad director called, left a message that i got in!

They're grouping students with similar interests into the same interview weekend(s). I'm assuming this round of calls was for people with a neurobiology focus, possibly others too.

The Ph.D. program has an interview weekend for all candidates, as all admitted students are fully funded and they like to get to know you. From what I understand, they invite about 20 and roughly half are selected.

was initially wait listed -- received an e-mail from admissions in response to a letter that I sent saying that they are cutting the waitlist down since it isn't moving

Came till that late?

and now we enter: end game

Off of the waitlist in the nick of time.

Called me after I sent a lot of e-mails this week bugging them for a decision -- full support.

Has anyone heard anything for this? Even a response to an inquiry?

Thats 2 in two days now!! Chicago guy, congrats to you. Sorry i've given up hope. i Seem to have severly underestimated this admissions process. the Schools that i thought were in my zone, G'town, UNC, MSU, have all flat out rejected me. I haven't heard from PSU, nor PURUDE, but thats a bad and not a good thing as i believe they've sent out all there acceptances already. Soooooo depressed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Told was on wait list but probably wouldn't get to me, so I'm taking that as a rejection.

Yes, my first choice!

Any info about this waitlist would be appreciated
