Hello fellow applicants!
As of today, I receive 5/5 rejections?. I'm bummed and would like any suggestions to improve my chance of acceptance for Fall 2019.
I graduated last May with a degree in neuroscience with a 3.2 GPA. I did 2 independent researches during my undergrad since 2015 at drug addiction research lab, focusing on virtual conditioned place preference using monetary reinforcer. After graduation, I became a full time research assistant at the same lab, continuing the virtual CPP research as well as clinical researches on methamphetamine and alcohol. I have 4 poster presentations and 3 papers are currently being prepared for publication. (unsure if they will be published by December)
I received 155 verbal, 152 quant, and 3.5 writing. I had a panic attack in the middle of writing section and was not able to finish it. I will be retaking in August.
I am interested in clinical drug research and will be applying to:
UCLA, CU Boulder, Iowa, Washington State, IUPUI, Michigan, and UIC
I emailed professor who gave me LOR for last cycle to ask for another one, but hasn't received any replies
