After looking through several posts, I fear that I may not be accepted to any of programs...
Undergrad Institution: McGill
Major(s): B.A. Psychology Minor(s): Behavioral Science GPA in Major: 3.64 Overall GPA: 3.64 Position in Class: Top 25%, but not top 10%
Status: International Male GRE Scores (revised/old version): Q: 159 (74%) V: 156 (74%) W: 4.0 (54%) Research Experience: 1 year and 3 months (and counting...)
- 3 months in drug addiction lab
- 1 year in behavioral neuroscience lab (currently working here)
Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Graduation Honor Pertinent Activities or Jobs: Currently full-time R.A. in a lab that I previously worked as an undergrad Any Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter:
- 2.20 GPA during my very first semester (I explained this in my SOP.)
- Strong LoRs (?) -> All three profs who submitted a letter for me said that they wrote me a "glowing" or "good" recommendation letter.
However, they are not famous in the field. One professor is actually a prof in psychiatry.
