<p>I made a similar thread a bit ago for neuroscience, but I want to get some idea of where I stand with respect to cog sci programs.
Here are my stats:</p>
<p>GPA 3.45
Math Major GPA 3.6
Philosophy Minor, misc. comp sci background not amounting to a minor
GRE: 790 Q 660 V 4.5 AW
Math Subject: Taking in mid October, expect ~80%ile
Research Experience: Only in algebraic cryptanalysis which is largely irrelevant to neuro (though I'm mainly interested in computational, so maybe that will help?)
I've taken grad courses in Mathematical logic, complexity theory and formal verification</p>
<p>I can get good letters from the comp sci chair, a philosophy prof (involved in some neuroscience and philosophy of mind stuff) and a math prof.</p>
<p>I would like to go to one of the following schools for Cog Sci (some far more of a reach than others)</p>
<p>MIT
Caltech
UCSD
Indiana University
Rensselaer (Maybe?)</p>
<p>There are others I might apply to, but those a salient right now. Any feedback would be appreciated. If I don't get in to one of these programs I may stay in school another year and try again.</p>
