Hello all! I'm new here. Just a little intro I studied Music and Neuroscience in undergrad and was on the medical school track, worked in an ER for a few years, until I fell in love with research in my Masters program. I have been working as an RA in the Neuro lab that I did my MS thesis in for 2 years now helping research the circuitries underlying vision, spatial memory and decision making. My mentors here are physician scientists and I'm inspired literally everyday. I applied to NYU, Columbia, Einstein, WashU St. Louis, University of Pittsburgh, Harvard, Stanford and UCLA. I have not heard a word back from any of them. So naturally I am starting to sweat, check my spam folder 7 times a day and just generally start to lose hope.....
