The application deadline for the Biological Sciences Division is
December 1, 2008. The admissions committee for the Neuroscience
cluster will begin to review
applications immediately. Applicants are strongly encouraged to submit
all their
materials by this time to ensure full consideration. All applications
are submitted online. Those individuals
with a strong academic background and research experience will be
invited
to visit the campus for interviews over a weekend, usually in
mid-February.
Visiting campus allows the admissions committee to meet the applicants
and allows the applicants to examine the Committee on Neurobiology and
compare the University of Chicago with other graduate programs.
Applicants
who are invited to campus for interviews are reimbursed for travel
expenses.
The day of interviews typically begins at 9:00 am with a
general orientation
and is followed by a few interviews with faculty, either members of the
admissions committee or faculty requested by the applicant. Applicants
receive another perspective on the program from current students during
lunch. There is also an opportunity to meet with faculty who could not
be scheduled for a formal interview at a reception. Applicants
also
may continue their converations with the current students. Finally,
applicants
can join several of the current graduate students for a sampling
of the city's entertainment during the weekend as well.
As applicants are invited to stay in Chicago for the entire
weekend,
hotel accommodations are arranged in the near north area of the city,
very
close to museums, shopping, and other places of interest.
