LETTERS
OF RECOMMENDATION
References are a critical part of the
application process. Choose them carefully. Letters of recommendation
are most effective when they are written by faculty members or
experienced researchers who know you well and who can comment favorably
on your potential as a graduate student in neuroscience. The best
indicator of success in graduate school is a solid record of
undergraduate research in a neuroscience laboratory. A letter from the
faculty member who serves as your research advisor and who thinks highly
of your abilities can have an enormous impact on the admissions
committee. Supporting letters from other faculty members who know you
beyond your role as a student in their classes also are important. To
get such letters, follow the guidelines listed in the previous section
on getting to know faculty, and cultivate these relationships even after
work in a particular class is completed.
