To answer your question, Cog Neuro is my preferred subfield. I am, however, open to the possibility of other subfields within the general framework of experimental psych. Cognitive Neuropsychology (also seen social and affective neuroscience programs) is such an example. I think there is quite a bit of overlap between some of these sub-disciplines, and many of them are fairly broad ranging, so I haven't closed my door on other areas of experimental pscyh Thanks for the responses btw

I am hoping to get some feedback on what my next step forward should be. Let me give some brief background info about where I'm at: Intended graduate program: - Cognitive Neuroscience (USA or Canadian schools). Credentials: - graduated this semester with a BA in psychology, summa cum laude (GPA 3.9) University of Texas at Arlington. GRE score is 1380 (770Q, 610V). -Co-author of a manuscript submitted for review to the journal of Applied Cognitive Psychology (waiting to hear if it was accepted) - Awarded 'distinguished senior in psychology' - Got a B on my honor's thesis (which in my opinion wasn't deserved, but such is life). - have a fair amount of research experience having worked as an RA in a couple of labs. - Don't really have a feel for the quality of my letters of recommendation. Other info: - Between 2003 and 2005 I studied in South Africa (where I grew up), and my grades, when evaluated in the US, were simply appalling. This is partly because of the different grading systems - in which an A in South Africa was 75% and generally rather difficult to obtain, and partly because I didn't really apply myself and got mediocre grades anyway. Looking forward: Given that it's already January 7th, what would be my best plan of action given that my primary goal is to get into a PhD program in Experimental Psychology? Thanks in advance for any suggestions
