Okay solid that's not too bad, now did you initially submit your CV or did they just ask about it?

Hi there! Has anyone done an interview for their perspective programs yet? I have a phone interview with Augusta University April 4th and was wondering how others phone interviews went.

Hi, I was wanting so see if there were any suggestions on what I could possibly do to better my application when I go to apply Fall 2019? A little background, I applied Fall 2016 (graduated Spring 2017) to a bunch of neuroscience programs but was denied, I decided to try my hand at more research experience, retake the GRE, and retake a chem class or two (I failed mine freshman year) before I reapplied. I currently work as a full time research assistant and am in the process of gearing up to retake the GRE and sign up for classes through my jobs tuition assistance program. Thanks in advance for any advice!!
