Took it today as well. Not a native english speaker Revised GRE 6 Completed 10/15/2017 Math Score: 163 Verbal Score: 153 Revised GRE 5 Completed 10/13/2017 Math Score: 159 Verbal Score: 148 Revised GRE 4 Completed 10/07/2017 Math Score: 163 Verbal Score: 156 Revised GRE 3 Completed 10/05/2017 Math Score: 159 Verbal Score: 157 Revised GRE 2 Completed 09/27/2017 Math Score: 161 Verbal Score: 156 Free Practice GRE Test Completed 08/09/2017 Math Score: 157 Verbal Score: 155 ETS 2 Completed somewhere in September : Math Score 167 Verbal Score 154 Real Test : Math 166, Verbal 151 I ran out of concetration for the last Verbal part (had a Verbal experimental), but I am very happy because I was only targeting a good score at Quant. Manhattan math seems harder than the real test, so I guess it's a good prep

Thank you for your advices. There is a PI in Yale that works on a subject that is a perfect fit for me. I actually don't care that much about the name of the university - of course Yale is Yale and being admitted there would be my biggest academic achievement - when I first contacted this man I was exclusively interested in his work. We have had a very interesting conversation, which reinforced my will to work with him. So now if I want to be his grad student, the only way is to apply to Yale. Not the easiest thing i've done in my life, i'll say ! CalTech has a very interesting Behavioral and Social Neuroscience program - and computational neuroscience is my thing so it's all good. I have stumbled upon many papers from researchers working in CalTech as well, so it is interesting to me as well - although i don't personally know anyone there. Hope it answers your question. Also, since i cannot edit my previous post, my GRE practice scores look like this now : Q: 167 / (ETS Practice) V: 154 / (ETS Practice)

Hi everyone. I'm a foreigner student looking for advices or feedback. I have no idea what the application process will look like, I just know that I will have to take both GRE and TOEFL. Application field : Neuroscience Undergrad Institution BSc in a French University - Their neuroscience program is solid, but I doubt anyone knows it in US I am currently enrolled in a Master's Degree in Cognitive Science, at the Ecole Normale Supérieure Paris Major(s): NeuroscienceGPA in Major: Cannot convert to GPA system - from the info I gathered, it looks like ~[A-] Overall GPA: Same - BSc ~[A-] (14.5/20) // MSC ~[A] (15.5/20)Position in Class: BSc : 1st in class, 4th in overall program / MSc : No ranking (but probably top 5/10%)Type of Student: Foreigner / FranceGRE Scores :Q: 164 / 88% (Kaplan Practice) PI in US told me I should get 90% in QV: 150 / 50% (Kaplan Practice) W: -Research Experience: 1 month of lab rotation during undergrad 4 month internship during MSc 1st year in rodent's electrophysiology - PI has a good reputation in his field 3 month internship during this summer in NHP electrophysiology - PI is very well-known in his field 5 month internship incoming - same PI as summer / work might be publishable, but the application process will be over by the time we submit the paper) Awards/Honors/Recognitions: NopPertinent Activities or Jobs: See internshipsAny Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help:Special Bonus Points: I have had an interview with a PI from one of the Uni for which i'm going to apply - went extremely well. Plus, current PI knows this guy very well. Any Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter: Head of a Student Association that organizes nationwide events in Cognitive Sciences.Applying to Where: Yale - BBS (top choice) CalTech BSN program Mount Sinai Might consider other Uni if advised In my mind I almost only want to apply to Yale, even though it might be too presumptuous - US is not my fav' destination but I'd REALLY like to make it to Yale. But eh I paid for GRE and TOEFL so I guess I can try other programs I will also apply to several EU PhD programs. Thank you for your feedback
