I am an international student applying for Neuroscience PhDs for next year. I just got my GRE results and was totally shocked! Now, I am wondering if I would still have a shot at a spot at one of the big schools (Stanford, UCSD, Princeton, Berkeley, Harvard, CUNY, Columbia...). This is me in keywords:
Undergrads:
- Mechanical Engineering (Germany, GPA: 3.7, senior thesis: 4.0, semester abroad at renown US uni)
- Economics & Business (Germany, GPA: 3.0, senior thesis: 3.7)
Double Master Degrees (by next fall):
- Biomedical Engineering (Belgium, GPA: 3.4-3.6)
- Neural Engineering (Ireland)
Work experience:
- 4 years of engineering in major aerospace company
- Internship in Neural Engineering at renown European uni
GRE (here is where the problems start...):
- 160 V (86%)
- 158 Q (79%)
- 4.0 AW (48%)
No publications
Some good, some great LOR
I'd be very thankful for your help! Thanks a million!
