PI emailed me to invite me to a preliminary interview and their official virtual interview weekend!

Pretty disappointed; biopsych undergrad, masters in neuroscience, 1 published paper

Current senior majoring in biopsych. 1 year undergrad research, no publications. Honors thesis in progress. Spoke with several PI's leading up to applying.

Recruitment date: February 22

Previous contact with PI, said they would mention my name during the admissions process. 25 months full-time research experience, 3 pubs under review (+ 1 pre-print, 2 manuscripts in progress), 5 conference presentations (not presenting author).

Email saying I was waitlisted but it also said I would be updated on the status of my waitlist position/if I get an interview in January. Anyone else have this experience? Did they just reject you in Jan?

General email with invitation to interview session

Several publications, two posters, and multiple research collaborators.

About a year of full-time research, a few semesters of part-time research, multiple poster presentations, no publications

Coming straight from an Ivy League as an undergrad. 3.9 GPA, 2 years of academic research and 1 summer research internship. The PI I was in contact with emailed me about my interview offer!
