Hi everyone, just thought I would share my experience and where I applied.
I have a year of experience as a research assistant at Northwestern in the Neurology department. I have a BS in Psychology from a local university and a MSc in Neuroscience from King's College London. I applied to Northwestern, Yale, UCSD, UC Davis, UC Berkeley, Max Planck, UCLA, and the Scripps Institute. So far, I haven't heard from any schools but I am trying not to get too down just yet. Wishing everyone lots of luck and a big congrats to those who have secured interviews so far!
