<p>Here’s a sample template
[Undergrad. University]
[Undergrad. Major(s)]
[Undergrad/Grad GPA]
[Years of Research Experience]
[GRE Scores]

[Prospective Graduate Schools]Caltech (Top choice), MIT, Stanford (Will only go here if they give me an internal fellowship). Also applied to Cambridge for kicks, though it would be interesting to experience life there…
[Other] 1st author publication in a pretty high impact factor journal, conference preceding, and a second author pub</p>
<p>My decision will be based on what type of funding I get…</p>
