  1. So, I am a month into my first year of graduate school in psychology. And my adviser has just announced that they are retiring in a year. I have met with some program directors for advice on what to do, and revised my class/research plan so that I will be defending my MA thesis next fall semester, before I am left adviser-less. I have more higher-ups to talk to in regards to what this means for me on paper, but so far it seems that I have a few options for what to do: 1. Try to transfer now to another university 2. Try to transfer once I complete my MA 3. Try to continue on here without an adviser after my MA and complete my PhD on my own. 4. Quit and enter the job market after my MA There isn't really anybody else in my department who does the research I do, though there are others in the concentration but I'm not sure yet if they'd be able to take me on. Additionally, I thought I'd have the duration of the program to figure out my career goals. I am interested in research, but also interested in education/activism. But now, I actually need to make more of a decision about this because it'll affect what I choose to do. Sorry about vagueness, I didn't wanna make this post highly specific cause it's been an emotional few days, and yeah.....anybody further along who might be able to give advice?
  2. Well, last night I checked my email and my POI let me know that I'd been recommended for acceptance to the social and personality program at UH Manoa! I wasn't expecting this at all, as I hadn't received any interview invitations to anywhere I had applied. It still hasn't sunk in
  3. Been lurking for around a year, didn't get into any schools this fall so I decided to finally make an account and actually chat with you all as I work through reapplying 3.98 undergrad GPA, part of a lot of honors groups (including a scholarship through my uni's honors program), 2 years of research experience with 6 presentations at national conferences. I'm retaking the GRE, as it was my weak spot last year. My major is psychology with an anthropology minor, and I'm looking into PhD's in social psych. Specifically I want to do research in sexuality and intimate relationships. Unfortunately I'm really struggling with finding POI's with this focus. In addition I'm open to international programs, as long as they aren't cost prohibitive. Soon I'll be looking into jobs or volunteer positions to make up for my time away from the lab after graduation. Nice to to finally talk to you all!
