Upset but not unexpected. Congrats to everyone receiving an interview. Low GPA but a ton of research experience. 2.5 years of post-bacc research. 3 second-author pubs, 1 first-author in revision, 2 second-author in revision - all mid-tier journals (impact factor 5-10).

Was invited to interview day via email after a Skype interview with POI (KF)

Interview date is Feb 6-7

Pretty good LORs, 4 years of undergrad research experience, one first author pub one second author pub, multiple conference presentations

To the poster below: would you mind letting us know your interview came from PI or the department? What is your PI’s initial?

To the MSU Neuroscience inquiry below : No, The coordinator did not mention anything about sending out invites.

Emailed department to inquire about interview invitations and was told that most of them had been sent out, but there may a few that haven't been sent.

Emailed to check application portal. Have expected this since they only accept a small number of international students. Good luck to those who made it to interview.

Generic rejection. This was expected as I have a very low GPA and I didn't receive any interview invite last week. Low GPA but a ton of research experience. 2.5 years of post-bacc research. 3 second-author pubs, 1 first-author in revision, 2 second-author in revision - all mid-tier journals (impact factor 5-10).
