Yea, I was thinking about that frankdux. I was thinking about applying to Northwestern, UCDavis, U Iowa, and USC. My main concern would be asking my letter writers to write me more letters.

I am/am in the process of applying to 11 graduate schools in neuroscience. I have a modest GRE/GPA (670V 730Q 5.5AW / 3.66) but started college at 15 (I am 19 now) and have had reasonable research experience. I am graduating from CSULA, where they do not have a neuroscience program. Fortunately, I was able to conduct neuroscience research through the AMGEN Scholars Program at UCLA and was hired by my PI at UCLA this summer. I think the following make my application weak: GRE modest undergrad GPA from low ranked school relative lack of neuroscience classes/research time overlooked/did not take subject GRE in time I think the strongest parts of my application are: Age AMGEN Scholars/UCLA research...Letter from UCLA PI MARC scholar Also, I applied to primarily top ranked schools (UCSD, UCSF, Cal, Stanford, Harvard, Yale, Columbia, WashU, Johns Hopkins, UCLA) and only one backup school (UCI). My thinking at the time was that I would be happy to get into any one of these schools but now I am deeply concerned that I might not get accepted into any, resulting in a waste of money, and more importantly, time. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am especially interested in responses from current/past applicants to neuroscience grad schools.
