Hi guys. First time applying for Fall 2019. :)
Program: Experimental Psych/Behavioral Neuroscience
Schools: Columbia, U of Chicago, U of Vermont, U of Kentucky, considering UVA +/- UNC (I know I should expand this list, but it's kind of a niche field, especially if I want to work in a human vs. animal lab)
Interests: Behavioral pharmacology of psychoactive drugs, novel pharmacotherapy for treatment of addiction
Quick stats: 3.67 GPA, 2.5 years research xp so far in a very relevant lab, 1.5 years clinical xp in ABA (the operant conditioning aspect is pretty relevant), 3 conference presentations, one of which published my abstract in their journal, 165V 154Q 5.0W GRE, no pubs :( but might be able to squeak onto one as third author or something by the end of the year
Nice to meet all of you! Any insight is appreciated of course--naturally very nervous about this whole process.
