Undergrad Institution: UCSD Major(s): Cognitive Science, Specialization in Machine Learning Minor(s): - GPA in Major: 3.9+ Overall GPA: 3.4+ ( Will be 3.5+ when I apply) Position in Class: ? Type of Student: International Asian
GRE Scores (revised/old version): Will take soon. Projected score is based on practice tests. Q: -(Will be 168+) V: -(Will be 155+) W: - ... B: -
Research Interests: Neural basis of decision making. Computational modelling of decision making
Research Experience:
1+ year in Systems neuroscience lab. Lots of rodent training on behavioral task and neuron recordings.
6 months in Language cognition lab. Learned experimental design and running experiments on human subjects.
Research intern over the summer at Yale. Data analysis and behavioral training on rhesus monkeys.
Awards/Honors/Recognitions:
Dean's list (multiple times)
Frontiers of innovation Scholar's Program - small award with some amount of scholarship.
Pertinent Activities or Jobs:
Will IA for a neuro-anatomy class in upcoming fall
Multiple TA experience in institutions for high-school students in South Korea
Any Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help:
Steep increase in GPA after 2 years of Army duty.
2.6-(ARMY)-3.9-3.7-?(most likely 3.7+)
Strong interest in philosophy.
Special Bonus Points:
Very strong recommendation letters from my PIs and humanity/philosophy professor
Veteran of ROK army (received highest honors in squad leader training from Regiment commander)
Any Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter:
Low overall GPA - Although I am confident that I will be 3.6+ by the time I graduate, it is still quite low.
4 Ws. - 2 are from my freshmen year(1 music and 1 aerospace class), and 2 are from my junior year.(1 math and 1 major class)
Planning on retaking those classes that I withdrew in junior year.
