@PsychedSloth Sure, in the neuro department I selected J.C., J. G., A.F., and W.K. Feel free to PM me if you'd like to further compare! The lab offer I received though was at a different university. Its nerve wracking to think decisions should be rolling out in a couple weeks!

@Katiebird, @PsychedSloth Hey! I haven't heard anything yet. Most places mentioned they are reviewing at the end of March/early April! I did get an offer to do an informal postbacc (paid research/take a few grad classes) from a professor that I had contacted about working with through the program!

@Katiebird Hope you've had some luck! Postbaccs seem to be pretty tricky

Today a friend of mine got into the Duquesne Bio PhD program and another got into Brown Pathobiology! Both by email.

Also, I would love to hear about anyones previous experiences applying/participating, or if you're currently applying!

Hello! I couldn't find a thread for postbacc options, so here we go! Im graduating early, so decided a postbacc would be a great way to spend the year before applying to PhD programs. Ive applied to the NIH PREP program at Yale, Northwestern, Harvard, Mayo Clinic, Brown, and possibly one more!

Honestly, signed up 3 weeks before the exam, got incredibly busy with classes/research/other exams, so I didn't study at all. The night before the exam I took a practice exam on Kaplan. I feel awful for not studying though, so I plan to retake in December after studying for a couple months. Im going to consider this a cold run, hope studying will bring it up a good bit. Kaplan Test Prep Practice Exam: 10/19/17 Verbal: 151, Quant: 150 Real GRE: 10/20/17 Verbal: 159, Quant: 156 Ran out of time on math and bubbled, switched some answers to the wrong ones before verbal ran out.

It depends on what schools youre looking to apply to and what your score is. Also, if your gpa is a bit on the lower side a higher GRE is usually necessary.
