Seems that many of the bio discussions here are geared towards, or populated by the Molecular/Neuro folks, which is fine, but I'd love to see a thread dedicated in particular to the applications, concerns and ideas of the EEB crowd, past and present.
I'm a junior at the University of Kansas majoring in Organismal Biology. I haven't taken the GRE yet, but I'll intend to do it in the summer of 2011 and apply that fall for a possible fall 2012 entry. My GPA is 3.3 now and I'm trying to raise it at least to 3.5. I have some research experience in an animal behavior lab, and I'll try to work in another lab or two in the next three semesters.
My research interests include social evolution, eusociality, social insects, mathematical modeling of social behavior and population dynamics, with a hint of systematics mixed in. Some of the schools I'm going to apply include Rice, Texas, Tufts, Louisville and Harvard.
So, EEB people, join the monologue!
