Hey Cog-Neuro Guy,
I am actually from Dallas and am applying to the exact program you are in. In fact, it is my number one choice at this moment. I have a few questions if you do not mind answering.
1. What is the program like itself? (culture, classes, cohorts)
2. Are the professors easy to approach/talk to?
3. How do you go about joining a research lab? Is it as easy as simply speaking with a professor? Are rotations required?
4. Are there plenty of options for research collaborations?
And the most subjective question of all: Did you enjoy the classes i.e., were they interesting, can you say you learned alot etc.?
I would appreciate as much information as you are willing to give me.
