  1. hello there, i'm planning to apply to cognitive neuroscience phd programs this fall, and i have a couple of questions regarding the process. here's some info about me: psychology ba graduate gpa 3.6 studying neuroscience msc. gpa 3,5 will be taking the gre this month will be attending neuroscience summer school on september have basic knowledge on matlab, spm so here are my questions: 1. i'm mainly interested in neural representations of semantic memory. so i specifically searched for potential supervisors with interests in memory and representations. however it turns out that it's a trend in neuroscience community. and i formed a long list of programs, about 20. :S i don't know where to start, or which faculty members to contact. how should i narrow this list? (THE LIST: berkeley, stanford, ucla, u chicago, u illinois urbana champaign, northwestern, johns hopkins, boston c, MIT, princeton, CUNY, NYU, CMU, u penn, brown, wustl, toronto, mcgill, UCL, cambridge...) 2. i have about 2-3 months of research experience in neuroscience. i worked as an RA in 3 projects (1 year) when i was an undergrad. no publications. (will have more once i start collecting data for my thesis) is this a huge problem? 3. does my research proposal have to be a rigid commitment, or can I change it once i start the phd? is it just an essay to show the colleges that i am capable of planning a research, or do i have to go through with it once i write it? 4. lastly, do i have to find faculty members who have identical research interests as mine, or is it okay if there's a marginal connection? as in semantic memory, instead of what i have. i appreciate all the help i can get!
