I want to apply to a neuroscience PhD program; but I am curious to know if I have a strong possibility to get into a PhD program. As an undergraduate I did research for two years, one in neglected disease and the second year was on Bipolar disorder. After I graduated in May 2017, I was a research assistant at Rutgers University in a neuroscience research lab, where I learned how to analyze brain waves and how to work with EEG. I did that for 6 months, because I got accepted into the Postbac program at the NIH. Currently, I am working as a post bac research assistant at a Molecular Imaging lab in the National Institute of Mental Health. Besides my research experience, I graduate with a honors degree and a 3.5 GPA. My honors thesis was on substance abuse and depression among college students. So far, I have not taken the GRE but I am planning on doing so. The programs I want to apply to are: Rutgers University, Cornell, NYU, Mount Sinai, UPENN, and Northwestern.
