Physio psych/ neuroscience 2013 Applicants?

[grazzle]

I've looked around a bit and I didn't see a thread for biopsychology applicants or neuroscience in psych departments. I did see a neuroscience thread in the biology forum, but I haven't seen any of the programs that I'm familiar with there, so I'm assuming those are all people applying to neuro programs within bio departments.

I'm interested to see where people are applying and what the process has been like for others. I applied to Rutgers, UW-Madison, Pittsburgh, Stony Brook, UCLA, UT Dallas, UT Arlington, Northeastern, UCSB, and some health focused programs (UCLA, U North Texas, Virginia Tech, and Iowa). It's been hell getting all those applications out and as far as I can tell, I'm going to have to wait to mid January before I hear anything.

Anyone else in the same boat?

Oops I put this in the wrong forum

I'm in a similar situation! Have a BA in Psychology and a M. Sc. in Cognitive Neuroscience. I am applying to Neuroscience, Psychology and Cognitive Science programs, so I never know if I should hang out in the biosciences forum (but I have no wet lab experience) or the psychology one

I'm also applying to Rutgers (Psychology) and Iowa (Neuroscience), so we have a few schools in common . Really really really wanted to apply to UCLA (I adore Lieberman's work) but as I am an international applicant with a non US degree I was discouraged by pretty much everyone from applying to the UCs.

What's the focus of your research?

Yeah I just started getting some wet lab experience this summer, and I'm hoping it will help prepare me for the type of research I want to do . I'm interested in the intersection of cellular neuroscience and health, things like aging and cancer. I don't want to be more specific, even though that seems really broad.

What about you? With your masters in cog neuro, were you mostly doing imaging?
