Thanks for all the great advice Ladies and gents! I have one professor that I am already extremely close with, She has already been the greatest aid to my young career. I think I am leaning more towards a sensory and perception interest which I believe falls under cognitive psyche. I try to read papers and see who publish them and find professors and programs like that. On another note my school does not have a neuroscience major so I have been trying to create the closest thing to one through a smart selection of classes. I've gone out of my way to take Bio, Chem and Anatomy and physiology, of course on top of various biopsych classes. Are there any classes that you would consider must takes for this field.

Hello world, I am an undergraduate sophomore psychology major at a state school in Pennsylvania. I have a 3.5 GPA and a 4.0 major GPA. I started doing research this semester and have everything set up to do an independent research project next year. I am currently working on starting a neuroscience club at our school as well. I know I either want to apply to a cognitive or behavioral neuroscience program or just a straight neuroscience program but I am not entirely aware of the difference. So the question to all of the wonderful people that got into phd programs is what suggestions do you have for me to best increase my chances of getting into a graduate program. Also I know I want to go to school in the state of California Thanks for any advice
