  1. I'm applying for neuro programs this fall with concentration in the neurobiology of psych disorders. I have 2 LORs from my research lab directors, but I'm having a difficult time getting the third one. I'm a transfer student and did my BA in 2 years/did many online classes so I don't have many options. I have these two: a behavioral-neuro professor I am taking this semester -- I've met with her once to discuss graduate school and she was very nice about it, however, it is hard to develop a relationship in her class because it is so large and it has been a very short period of time (and I would need to ask her ASAP). I also know a psychiatrist (for several years) who I have shadowed in the past and I will be asking them for advice with my applications as well. Which letter would be better to have from an admissions POV? Is it bad to have a letter from someone with whom I have a strictly professional (non-academic) relationship? Thanks
  2. Hey guys, I am graduating with my BA in Psychology but I want to pursue a PhD in Neuroscience. I haven't taken many biology-related courses during my undergrad -- only Anatomy/Physiology and their labs, Neurobiology, and possibly Neuropsychology next semester (my final semester). In order to increase my chances of getting into a good Neuroscience PhD program, I was thinking of taking a GRE subject test in either Biology or Biochem, Cell and Molecular Bio, but I'm not sure which one I should take. I study very well and I do have a very good foundation in basic biology but I'm not sure which test the programs would rather see. My research interests are neurodegenerative disorders, neuroscience of psychopathology, and neurogenetics. Any advice would be much appreciated!
