Pertinent Activities or Jobs: Adjunct professor at nearbye community college, president of graduate student organization. Special Bonus Points: One EXTREMELY strong letter of recommendation from well known faculty, another very strong one from my advisor and a strong rec from an NSF program officer. I've locked down advisors everywhere I'm applying and have outlined projects with them. Applying to Where: Harvard -OEB - Behavior Princeton - EEB - Behavior Oxford - Zoology - Navigation Johns Hopkins - Brain Science - Behavior University of Michigan -- EEB - Behavior Bloomington -- EEB --- Behavior. I have no idea where I stand. I've made great connections with advisors at each of the schools, but have a rough undergrad GPA to overcome. I've had great grades for four years, so I'm hoping they look past that.
