  1. Would greatly appreciate a profile evaluation! Degree: B.S. in neuroscience (Fall 2021), M.S. in neuroscience @ same school, in progress, expected Spring 2023. Dual B.S./M.S. program. Grades: 3.61 undergrad, 3.71 grad so far, expected to remain above 3.5 GRE: None Research experience: Undergrad: started at my current lab during senior year of undergrad, assisting with data processing and analysis through Matlab and a open-source software developed by another research lab for measuring behavior through pixel variance of video recordings and correlating with brain-wide neural activity. Grad: Thesis work will be carrying out an aim of a recently started project at our lab. Won't be done in time to include any publication or presented data in my CV for applications, but I will be learning how to do 2-photon imaging, optogenetic manipulation, and mouse craniotomies and perfusions over the remainder of my program. Publications: one contributing authorship on a paper submitted this past June. Conferences and posters: None Memberships and honors: National Honor Society in Neuroscience member, Dean's list for Spring 2020, Spring 2021, Fall 2021 Involvement: a recently developed undergraduate neuroscience peer mentorship program. Sometimes volunteer @ local needle exchange outreach LOR: One from my PI, which I expect to be good. Hoping to get two strong ones from professors. One of them I've had both Spring and Fall this year, being highly involved in the course, communicating often, and displaying a strong ability to overcome mental health struggles. The 3rd professor LOR won't be as strong, but I don't expect them to talk bad about my character or anything. Research interests: Systems and computational neuroscience, higher-order cognition, memory, representation, hierarchical structures of neural oscillations, neural correlates of abstract object, action, and conceptual categories, cognitive science and causal modeling of human neuroimaging data, belief and creativity, schizophrenia, autism spectrum, addiction. Schools of interest: NYU, Upenn, CMU, Brown, UChicago, U Oregon, Boston U, UT Austin, UC Irvine, UC Davis, UC Boulder. Any suggestions on schools with higher admissions rates for neuro PhD's that fit these areas of interest would be immensely appreciated as well!
