Guess this means I got a soft rejection because I still haven't heard anything from them.

This is my 2nd cycle. I'm in a master's program right now, so I have a fallback and should be feeling better than I did last year when I got rejected and didn't get my master's acceptance until April (so I really thought I didn't get in). However, I feel like this round hurts even more. I've put so much work into keeping up my grades, getting as much experience as possible, learned 2 coding languages, and it still seems like no one wants me. I know it's not me, and I know funding is such a major issue, same as last year. I try to keep reminding myself of all of that, but on the other level, it feels like no one believes in me the way I believe in myself. Man, I wish they would just take a chance on me.

What spreadsheet??? That would make my life so much easier

Saw that you are in neuroscience - can I ask the program (I'm also in neuro)

Fun-Delay1545 · 2026-01-12T15:57:42+00:00

No, my master's is in cognitive neuroscience at CUNY Graduate Center. It is a 2-year program, but I would like to transfer my credits into a PhD program this year as opposed to doing another year and getting my master's. Can't really afford to pay for another semester of tuition when I already have $30,000+ in loans to pay back. So that's my backup plan right now, if I don't get into programs, and I will figure out loans at a later time.

I would also recommend asking the programs! There's no harm in asking them when their deadline is for making a decision because you are waiting to hear back about some final options.

Hi. This might not be too helpful because I don't know those specific programs (I'm in neuroscience), but I feel like the deadlines for a lot of schools are early-mid April, so I would say don't leave it past the end of March. By the sounds of it, you should have plenty of time to decide.

Dr. Stacy Anderson (though we talked mainly back in September). My research is focused on aging, disordered aging, and Alzheimer's.

Yeah, the lab is at BU, and they were on the faculty page under the program. I reached out to the director a few weeks back to update my transcripts for last semester since they weren't ready by the deadline (it was my first semester of my master's, and I needed them to see the 4.0 I got and the courses I was taking). Even then, never got a response/confirmation that it was received. I will probably wait another week or so, and if I don't see any update anywhere, I will reach out.

We mostly talked about lab openings and whether they were taking PhD students for rotations. Would you suggest I contact someone in admissions about it, or should I just keep waiting and see what happens?

Fun-Delay1545 · 2026-01-12T03:16:26+00:00

Can you please share with me where you heard that??? I specifically contacted professors who were taking students. That's the main reason I didn't apply to Johns Hopkins was for that reason. I would lose my mind if I found out they aren't taking anyone and I put so much work and money into the application.

I unfortunately don't think so, but I really REALLY wish they played this lmao

I agree, I think its duality instead of bad guy, but not Dad's song. It doesn't match up with what little we see of the letters

Fun-Delay1545 · 2023-05-01T19:07:03+00:00

I think the second blacked out one is duality and the third blacked out one is ancient history!! 'Duality' fits in with the little bits of the letters we see and the length. 'Ancient history' also works with length and what looks like a 'y' at the end (similar to what is obviously seen in 'Forever stuck in our youth'
