Yeah, I understand it's competitive. I know I want to go into cognitive neuroscience but I can't be more specific than that at the moment. Obviously researching the faculty of any school to find a good fit is important, but I was more just hoping to get a general idea of what neuroscience programs I might have a chance at getting into that would give me good bang-for-buck. If that's not kosher on these forums I apologize.

Hi everyone, I'm planning on applying to neuroscience PhD programs for Fall 2016 and I'd love some frank feedback on which, if any, programs would be good choices to apply to.
GPA: 3.70
GRE: not yet taken
Research: I worked for two semesters in a faculty member's lab, but I'm concerned that he may not have credibility and I won't be able to answer any questions about the research because I literally never spoke with him.
Other: Dean's list, Honors student
Neuroscience PhD - which schools to apply to?

I assume I don't stand a chance of getting into Harvard, Cornell, or UCSF. My preference would be a city for transportation purposes, beyond that I really don't have any firm preferences. I like places with hippieish vibes so I'll probably apply to UTexas at Austin. Maybe somewhere like UT Southwestern or Georgetown might be a better choice for a reach school, and then for my other schools, places like Washington University in St. Louis, University of Chicago, U Arizona, NYU, etc. Do you think I stand a chance of getting into any of those places? Again I know that's sort of an impossible question to answer, but I really appreciate your help.
