Neurosci2020

Hi all! Question about American norms in international travel funding. *** I received an invitation from 2 schools that offer funding for international travels, and 2 schools that offer domestic travel refund only. So... How should I manage my funding requests? should I ask to split the int'l flight between two schools? is it ok for a school to pay for an int'l flight that is approx. 3 weeks before the interview, which clearly means that I am using their funding to get to a different interview? What is considered polite to do in this case? Many thanks!

Received an invitation from UCSD 16 hours ago. No news from UCLA. (int'l applicant)

International student; GRE: V165 Q167 4.0; BA+masters in Cognitive Science, GPA 4.0 (in both) . 2 publications (1st+2nd author), one more in prep. 2Y lab experience during bachelor studies, 2.5Y post-bach experience. Good luck!!!

Hi! Applying for neuro Grad School for 2020, Just graduated from my masters focusing on cognitive neuroscience, total of 3 years of research experience. 3 strong LORs, two publications: one 2nd and one 1st author, GRE V165 Q167. Pretty worried about my letter of intent. Wanted to ask for pro/dis recommendations for services for professional reviewing of letter of intent. (In my country this type of letter is never required and I want to make sure that my draft is aligned with the american requirements.) Many thanks! Good luck to all ?
