This is true, in some sense, but don't plan on getting in to a top-30 school this way without some strong prior, independent evidence of ability (>99% results on quantitative reasoning tests, for example).
- robg 12y agoIt's a failure of facts to assume the best schools are so narrow in their thinking. Neuroscience is opening up most especially because it's a field based on information processing. Worse to assume standardized testing is the way to differentiate yourself. A solid publication in a good journal is more important. Ph.D. programs teach scholarship. To demonstrate that skill before admittance is the highest currency possible.
