Undergrad Institution: Mid/high ranking state school, very strong in biology but less so in ecology Major(s): Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, Environmental Studies Minor(s): Chemistry GPA in Major: 3.6 Overall GPA: 3.4 Position in Class: Legit no clue. In biology courses I'm usually near the top, but in Chemistry that wasn't the case! Type of Student: Domestic female GRE Scores (revised/old version): Q: 162 V: 153 (yikes) W: 4.5 B: -- Research Experience: Been in the lab for 2.5 years, 1 co-authored publication and 1 first authored in progress. 1 Poster given, honors thesis, assisting other grad students with various aspects of their projects too. Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Graduating with honors in the department Pertinent Activities or Jobs: I work in a museum of natural history in the section of birds - lots of taxonomy/classification and taxidermy! I also TA. I'm VP of my school's outdoors club and was secretary of an environmental organization on campus for a few years. Love spending time rock climbing, skiing, camping, hiking. Love field work. Any Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help: Special Bonus Points: I sit in on graduate-level ecology classes. My adviser for my honors thesis/PI in the lab I'm in is pretty big in behavioral ecology I guess. Editor for a few journals/ was on the board of the animal behavior society. Any Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter: Applying to Where: University of Colorado Boulder - EBIO - Behavioral Ecology (2 labs) Colorado State University - Ecology/GDPE - Behavioral Ecology (2 labs) University of Arizona - Ecology/Biology - Behavioral Ecology Utah State University - Ecology/Biology - Behavioral Ecology (I'm interested in the implications of animal behavior/animal personality!) Guys I have all my applications submitted and am just waiting for replies. I've been told I'd hear back soon, so the waiting game is happening... So stressful.
