Hello all, This is my first post ever and am eager to hear back from folks here. I plan to app for a MS/PhD(preferable) in Cognitive neuroscience. The details of my profile are as follows. Before that, all of my experience till now has been from India... Profile: GPA : 3.48 / 4 Psy subject GRE: 650 General GRE: Yet to take. Degree: - BA English Literature (Major) & Psychology (Minor) - 3 years - M.Sc Counseling Psychology with thesis, India - 2 years Research experience and achievements: - Gold medalist and University topper. - Dissertation in Health Psychology (6 months). Presented and won national level best scientific paper award for the same. - Internship in Counselling Psychology (6 months) - worked with cancer patients and their families Work Experience: - Academic Counselor for a nationally acclaimed training institute - 2 years - Student Counselor for a residential school - 6 months. One of my main worries is that my education and experience are not from within the US. I would greatly appreciate anyone sharing their experience on how universities value my education and experience. My dream apps are Stanford and Berkeley. I am open to any suggestions/comments from people here to understand what I need to do to even stand a chance for getting an admit. Thanks a lot !
