How many people have gotten off the waitlist for CNIX or CNVX? I haven't heard back from them, and I've only seen like 3-4 people post/comment that they've gotten off. The deadline for the waitlist notis is coming up soon (15th), so I think ill just give up hope 😞 lmk if y'all got in
The website says decisions by May 15, but idk if that means ON may 15 or sometime before. I haven't gotten anything from them yet, so I was wondering if anyone else got their decision. lmk!
I'm currently a junior in high school located in the Bay Area, California, and am particularly interested in going into neurotech jobs that involve BCIs, technology, and the brain. I would love to work with companies that bridge human consciousness and tech through implants, specifically being able to help build them or code them
However, my profile so far is mainly aimed at neuroscience and data science instead of engineering and biology, and is fairly weak compared to other students at my school aiming to get into t20s for engineering. This summer, I already have some computational biology research, EEG/Brain programs, and other neuroscience/bio-related programs lined up to try to shift my focus into the neurotech field, but I'm not sure if I'm preparing myself the right way.
I was wondering whether I should pick EE, BioE, BiomedicalE, Neuroscience, Cog sci, or any other combination as my major when applying to colleges. The problem is that if I were to apply to good schools (Berkeley, LA, SD, USC) for EE or Compsci, I would have a near 0 chance, but if I went for BioE (Bit easier) or neuroscience (much easier), I would have a higher chance and thus get my degree from a better school. My parents are immigrants (Indian), and they are totally freaked out by the "small and bare" job market that would come right after college with a major in neuroscience or bioE, and want me to go to a mid school for EE or MechE. I was also thinking that I could minor in EE, but I'm not sure how that works.
My overall goal is to potentially work in Neurotech with a bachelor's or master's degree, so I'm torn about which path to pursue. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.

i just got accepted into both programs this morning and 40% scholarship for thinkneuro, are they worth it for a rising senior with not much research experience? i’m obv stacking my summer w other stuff so im just wondering if i can do these in the background as well (esp thinkneuro bc iyrc times are early morning for me)
