- Notes
- I was not expecting a rejection from UCLA. My standardized scores are decent (low 80th percentiles for general GRE and 60th percentile for GRE subject - sat for both GREs only once). However, I have three years of undergraduate research experience (including 3 winters and 1 summer) with an honors college thesis in the field that I applied for. I worked as a TA and a tutor for 6 semesters and graduated a semester early (for personal reasons that I explained in my personal statement) with a 3.91 science and a 3.74 cu*ulative GPA (my honors classes were tough lol). I presented at 4 conferences (2 at my school and 2 NYURS). I'm not going to list all of my qualifications and awards lol. Anyway, I really don't know what went wrong. Good luck to all those still waiting on a decision.
