No GRE, 4 LOR, AmeriCorps experience

Pretty disappointed; biopsych undergrad, masters in neuroscience, 1 published paper

To the poster below me-- agreed on the new update, not very user-friendly. Anyways, good luck, friends! Hoping you all hear good news soon

Current senior majoring in biopsych. 1 year undergrad research, no publications. Honors thesis in progress. Spoke with several PI's leading up to applying.

I am a non traditional student who was accepted into the Social & Behavior Sciences program. I have never taken any GRE, ACT, SAT, MCAT, LSAT, etc. I graduated with a BA in Pubic Health from a pretty easy to get into state school, but had a 4.0 at that university. My high school GPA was below a 2.0, but that was almost 20 years ago.
