Word?...thats is is some scary stat right there.

I just hope my program wouldnt be as competitive so smart people like you guys dont take up all the spots...

You shouldnt be worried about Columbia...the ex dean will def do something for you. We the regular ppl with no connections should be the ones worrying

Yea buddy...I'm in the same situation as you. I was worried till it showed that it didnt receive my personal statement and I realized that this is gotta be a joke.

I think the prompt for Neuroscience is different from mine. They asked us to write a not-less-than-1000-word essay on our research experience. They should just stop making us write these research statements and call the labs directly. They can ask the PI whatever the hell they like about the research. So I'm curious to know how you fit 750 words into one page . What font did you use? Is it called fosgfp special? lol

Thats probably the best thing to do.

Thanks buddy, but the thing is that for one of my experiences, I am not even allowed to talk about the research not to talk of the results I got. If I do...my ass would be sued by the people I work for. I'm not even allowed to take my notebook home or even put data on my personal flashdrive. But the other research, I can talk about my results but it probably wont get approved by my PI for submission. I can bullishly send out the data to Penn...but it will most likely comeback to hunt me. EFF EMM EL!

@fosgfp...I see that you are applying to Penn too...how did you manage to write your research statement without giving any important data away? I've been writing and rewriting mine every other day

I'ld like the think that the more qualified applicants posts their stats here. Call me naive, but why would anyone lie on here? Everything posted on here is somewhat anonymous so I dont think anyone has anything to gain from lying about stats here.

Thanks! You too!

I trust in God but I lock my car too

Tell me about it...How do I compete with these people?

Bauhaus seems like someone applying to only IVY leagues so I wanted to politely remind her of the other schools so she could apply there too lol. I'm a scientist...I know alittle more than a 7yr old when it comes to picking out schools that have good pol science departments. I saw an incomplete list and tried to complete it ...I didnt plan on making sense...lol

If I were in you situation, I'ld call the admissions counselor and explain my situation to them. They should help you better than all the comments you'ld receive from here

Ohh...I think you forgot to mention Columbia, Brown and John Hopkins somewhere on that list
