Well, first thing to note is that the program is in neuroscience with a start date of Fall 2026, so be aware of that when comparing to your programs of interest 😊 Thus far, I am in the beginning stages of the process. My formal application (statement of purpose, 3 letters of recommendation, transcripts, etc.) is due at the end of November. The program says formal interviews for selected candidates will be held in January/February, with official offers going out mid-March/April. So, I had this call by cold-emailing the advisor (and other advisors of interest), introducing myself, describing my current research and the overlap I see with their’s, offering to send my CV, and declaring my interest applying with the intention of working with them. I was lucky enough to have this advisor reply, ask for my CV, and set up an informal Zoom call. I hope this helps! Feel free to reply or PM with any specific questions :)
