Anyone applied to Irvine?

I didn't see many applications to UC Irvine on the Forum this year, especially for Cognitive Neuroscience folks... wondering how is the psycho department there? Anyone info is welcome!! Thanks

I almost applied there. I was interested in the program but she advised me not to apply yet since I didn't have research experience and it would be a 5-year commitment to research. I also emailed one of the current students and she wrote back to me. You could do that too.

I applied to the Cognitive Science program and was accepted. It's a great program! I ended up choosing another school, but UCI was a close second for me.

^ Same as above (we probably met?  haha).  The programming/curriculum is very smart and the grad students in the welcoming committee were all nice people.  The UC system in general is pretty great, I think. 

As for faculty, I just found a better advisor fit somewhere else.  Some folks I wasn't in love with, but others were really great.  The funding was also really good...  better than the place I accepted...  haha
