UPenn Neuroscience - BGG Fall 2012

[eph630]

Hello All,

I'm just writing to allay some of my anxiety of late. I applied to UPenn's Neuroscience program through the biomedical graduate group (BGG). Up until recently I've thought of it as one of my very top choices, but looking at some of the "results survey" entries are making me nervous. I guess I wasn't aware how stiff the competition for Penn really is. Anyone else out there who has applied, what are your thoughts on this? Have a lot of people heard about interviews? I'm curious to hear what others think.

And if you wouldn't mind including a few things about yourself : What type of university, major, GPA, GRE, experience... I'll list mine here.

Top 50 private university, majoring in neuroscience, minoring in music, 3.83 GPA, 670 Verbal, 740 Quant, 3 years lab experience on campus as well as some summer research internships

Thanks everybody, and good luck!
