  1. I am going to submit my published honors thesis as part of an additional writing samples section for a fellowship application. My problem is that the limit is 5 pages- and mine is 8 (7 without references) in the published version of the article. The application allows for multiple writing samples though, each of 5 pages in length at max. Should I: 1. Attach the first 5 pages in one section and the last 3 pages in the next section of the application? 2. Only attach the first 5 pages of the published article? 3. Edit the original document (originally about 30 pages) down to 5 pages with excerpts about excluded sections? Thanks!
  2. im totally in the same boat as you and just dont know how to proceed!
  3. Does anyone have any advice on UIowa MSW program? Whether you have been accepted or have completed the program? Any information would be great! Thanks
  4. do you guys know what acceptance rates are like to MSW programs?
  5. Hi everyone- i am new here but have read through so many posts already that i figured its time to start my own question. i would appreciate any advice! i am interested in pursing a clinical psych phd. i am a good candidate but that is not what i am worried about. i have been researching the funding options and cost of living in other cities, and i am just skeptical that i could really live off the stipend in a new city for 5-7 years for a few reasons: -i would be far away from my family and friends, so travel costs would be limited -i have always worked on the side to earn extra money and am used to having money to spend, but it doesnt seem possible while getting phd other reasons that i make me doubt the phd route are financial as well... -when i am out of the program, i will be in my early 30s with no income and who knows if i will be married or have kids by then... -getting a phd and not working all those years means losing out on income i am just in a dilemma because the work that i want to do and what i have my heart set on requires me to go get a phd. recently, i have been playing with the idea of getting a masters. however... -it is expensive -i dont want to appear "flakey" to my advisor and letter writers by switching to a new degree track i am just worried that i wont be able to survive financially getting a phd and its hard because it is really what i want to do. plus, the possibility of starting a family is super important to me, and it appears that most of the people giving me advice do not have the same perspective as i do on this topic. i am sorry for the rant but i am stressed! what did you do to consider your degree/financial options? did you go to grad school and then get married / have kids while still getting a phd? did you get advice from your advisor about a similar situation? what was it? thanks for all the help i can get!
  6. Hey that is really helpful advice, i am just curious where did you find these calculators or how you got those figures? it would be really helpful for me to do when weighing my options as i have not considered taxes portion of my debt. thanks!
