@fuzzylogician and @Hope.for.the.best thank you very much. Honestly, I just feel numb and don't want to do anything anymore. It makes me feel so sad to see myself in this kind of situation. I am planning to transfer Neuroscience Ph.D. but I have an exercise science background. I have shared the details of my education background below. Can you please share your thoughts with me? What are my chances for getting accepted to neuroscience? I appreciate the help. Just give you an idea on my background, I did my bachelors in Sports Sciences with the GPA of 3.54. I had one peer review publication 3 poster presentation in international conferences. For non-academic activities, I was involved in Special Olympics Organization for 4 years. Then, I came to the US and studied a year of Medical Assisting and then got accepted to Nutrition and Exercise Science master's degree at CUNY. I took 26 credit worth of prerequisite courses including biochem, organic chem, anatomy 1 and 2 physiology 1 and 2 etc. I collected the data for my thesis at Columbia University. We investigated the influence of task constraints on upper and lower body modifications in children with Cerebral Palsy. Also, I did my internship at Columbia at applied physiology lab. We investigated whether exercise can attenuate the side effects of antiretroviral therapy in people with HIV. I turned the study into an abstract presentation and presented at a conference. In addition, I was involved in another study at Columbia where we studied on people HIV again. Then I got accepted to PhD in Exercise Physiology and co-wrote a paper on exercise genomics and wrote another one as a first author. I have been involved in a major project where I do extensive heart rate variability analysis in firefighters. Further, I was involved in a meta-analysis on hypertension.

Hello everybody. I want to transfer from a school to CUNY neuroscience. Can you share your thoughts with me? What are my chances for getting accepted? Please see below.

I think it is a great moment for you to realize that you begin to adapt your new life. I am a first year of Ph.D. and my relentless mentor made me cry 3 times. I already went through a mental breakdown and actually yelled at my advisor during one of the lab meetings. Thank God everyday if you have a supporting faculty around you. I was a very successful undergrad and had an amazing master's experience, but I have lost all my passion and ambition in the Ph.D. thanks to my mentor. You will be fine but I won't. That's why I am doing my best to live this goddamn place.

Hello, I am an international student as well but received my master from CUNY in Nutrition and Exercise Sciences. I am currently a first year PhD student in Exercise Physiology. You are obviously ahead of me as you got your bachelors in biology+psychology+emphasis in neuroscience. Just give you idea on my background I did my bachelors in Sports Sciences with the GPA of 3.54. I had one peer review publication 3 poster presentation in international conferences. For non-academic activities, I was involved in Special Olympics Organization for 4 years. Then, I came over the US and studied a year of Medical Assisting and then got accepted to Nutrition and Exercise Science master's degree at CUNY.

I just really want to get accepted to CUNY which is one of the best student friendly schools in the world. I know I am racing agains the guys like you with neuroscience backgound but jope my research experience get me in. Good luck!!
