<p>hi all, this is my first post at CC. I love this forum and have enjoyed all the posts in the grad school section. my stats-
undergraduate at ivy in theoretical neuroscience
GPA- overall 3.96 major 4.1
previous undergraduate degree in medicine from india
one year in graduate school in neuroscience at top 25 university (Then decided to do another BA)
GRE quant 800 verbal 750 essay 4.5
subject gre- not yet taken
research experience- 5 months at my previous grad school referred to above and 10 months so far (with intent to keep working in the same lab till i graduate next spring) at current school - all in neuroscience</p>
<p>i am interested in perception, especially in theoretical and computational approaches to perception(vision and/or audition)
i am taking a smattering of math, CS, psychology as part of my special major.</p>
<p>not being of hardcore quantitative background, i am curious as to which programs might like people of mixed background like me.
i have decided to apply to NYU (great research in vision), Einstein, and BU. I am trawling websites trying to identify more programs.</p>
<p>my second question is- do you guys think I should apply aggressively for Fall 09 or do a research job at a lab for a year after graduation?</p>
<p>thanks in advance!</p>
