<p>Anyone submit their research to this competition? I just got a letter saying I'm a finalist!</p>
<p>Hey, how did you do? I was a AAN Neuroscience Research Prize finalist as well. Who were your interviewers?</p>
<p>I didn't advance, though I thought my interviews went pretty well. One was from a doctor from a childrens hospital in Arizona, the other, from NY I think. Don't remember their names. How did you do?</p>
<p>Also, it sucks, because my project wasnt done for SWC and STS wouldn't let me apply because of the whole student/live-vertebrate crap). Oh well.</p>
<p>What competition is this? I'll be doing neuroscience research this summer... is there a link I could check out?</p>
<p>Thanks, and good luck! :)</p>
<p>Rikataka:
Oh that sucks about STS and SWC man. What was your project on? I had different interviewers - one from Indiana and one from Texas. I lucked out and advanced. What colleges are you looking at though?</p>
<p>Nice! Congratulations, that's awesome- when is the conference, anyway? My project was behavioral neuroscience and was on how neurogenesis impacts mood and cognition. As for colleges, I applied to the usual big name schools.. though I didn't apply to MIT or Caltech.. I have a feeling I'm going to major in some humanities and then do grad school and research after. that is, if I don't get rejected everywhere :). What about you? That's awesome, your project was like the best in the country!</p>
<p>Haha hey thanks man. My research aimed to find out which genes determine the size of the cerebral cortex and where they are located. I'm applying mainly to accelerated medical programs, like Northwestern and PennState. I applied to a few Ivys as well, namely Yale and Harvard. I'll prolly only decide where I wanna go in April lol (again, if I get in the med programs). Well good luck dude. BTW, what high school do u go to in NY?</p>
<p>Shiv, would you turn down H for an accelerated med program at Northwestern or PennState? Going to Harvard is basically a guarantee for med school anyway...</p>
<p>I go to school at Ramapo HS in rockland county. And HPME and all those other med programs are insane. I hope you get in, I'm sure you've got a great shot too. And I'm also curious, what would you do if it comes down to H v HPME :)</p>
<p>Hey Vinny, not sure man. It's a tough decision. I'll have to see based on scholarships and stuff. From a rickoid perspective Harvard is more attractive because everyone is going there and we will have a great time. However, the other schools are guaranteed admission. Rikataka, I'll be able to tell you in a month or so what I would choose lol</p>
<p>Shiv, you know you'll get into any grad school if you go to Harvard. Were you admitted EA?</p>
<p>Haha thats true dude. Yeah, I was. It would be cool hanging out in college with u man - mad partying there (believe me, I spent last weekend up in Boston) lol</p>
