Further polluting the thread. Sorry if I detract from other posts but I can't really offer any useful advice ? For a neuroscience Ph.D. Undergrad Institution: Decent, big state school. The neuro grad program is top notch. Undergrad is pretty good but it's still new so has little reputationMajor(s): NeuroscienceMinor(s): PhilosophyGPA in Major: About the same as...Overall GPA: 3.65 (Converted from 4.3 scale. Fuck you +/- system)Position in Class: Don't know. Upper quartile for sure, maybe top 15%Type of Student: (Domestic/International, male/female, minority?)GRE Scores (revised/old version):Q: 157 (Such conflicting opinions on this)V: 160W: Don't knowB:Research Experience: 2 years at a lab in our neuro institute, working on a couple different projects by myself. Honors thesis in neurophilosophy, which I can get published in my school's undergrad journal. Neuro lab class with poster presentation. No publications but 5 poster presentations and an oral presentation, all in the instituteAwards/Honors/Recognitions: Two different summer research fellowships from two different programs in my institution (one of which I got twice but declined the second time), one special scholarship awarded by the honors college, nominated by my school to apply for Goldwater (Didn't win or honorable mention haha), and a university assistantship awarded by the honors college (Not sure how to explain what that is)Pertinent Activities or Jobs: No pertinent onesAny Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help: Several president's and dean's lists over the three years. Think that's itSpecial Bonus Points: My LORs should all be solid gold and they're pretty well roundedAny Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter: The two B's that I've gotten were in physics and neurostatistics as opposed to some nonsense classes no one cares about. Not sure if I'd be asked about this Applying to Where: Reaches: UC Berkeley, Northwestern, WashU Not reaches: UT Austin, UMass Amherst, Ohio State (kind of a reach in a way), UT Houston. Not sure if I'll actually apply to all of those though so I might need to keep digging for more suitable programs and/or "safeties"
