<p>Pursuing a PhD in Neurobiology (cellular and molecular) Fall 2015
Majors: Neuroscience, Biochemistry (both from average state schools)
Minor: Spanish</p>
<p>GPA : 3.55 (3.85 the last 2 years)</p>
<p>GRE Q: 160 V: 167 Consider retaking for quant score?</p>
<p>Research: 2 years as a research assistant in a cognitive psychology lab. No publications, but lots of stats/data analysis and programming experience, as well as experience using an eye-tracker. </p>
<p>1 year in another psych lab. Will have a very minor publication.</p>
<p>No experience doing neuro research at the moment, but I've taken several graduate level neurobiology courses that deal exclusively with primary literature in the field.</p>
<p>Doing a postbacc during the next year (Summer 2014 - Spring or Summer 2015). I will finally be a research assistant in a neuro lab. Presumably I will be productive, but I don't have anything to advertise yet.</p>
<p>Planning to apply to: Oregon Health and Science, Oregon, Washington (Seattle), Arizona, Emory, Colorado, Duke, UNC Chapel Hill, Case Western</p>
<p>Any I shouldn't even bother with? Any advice for things to do between now and December application deadlines?</p>
<p>Thank you </p>
