Thanks guys!

I'm applying for a master's program this fall and was wondering if it's the norm to indicate a professor that you are interested in working with in you SOP even for a masters program application . I know it is required for a PhD program but I wasn't sure if that's also the case for a master's. Anyone? Thanks!

The psyc gre is out of 880. 730 would be at the 87th percentile.

Yes, I'm just applying to get into a master's program. I've worked with studies that look at mother-infant attachment, drug use and maternal behavior, stress response and hormonal responses to infant cues. I would be open to programs as long as they have some emphasis on physiology like developmental, bio behavioral or psychopathology - I don't think I would be a good fit for social or education. I/O psyc etc. I minored in statistics during undergrad so I am also interested in psychological methods as well.

Hi All! I Graduated from a top 30 university majored in Psychology and minored in Statistics - overall GPA:3.17 (Major GPA: 3.75 and last two years of GPA: 3.65) GRE: V:164 (670) Q:162 (770) W:4.0 GRE Psych subject: 730 I have 2 years of RA experience at a Psychiatry lab and I am currently working at the same lab as a full time research study coordinator (~1year). I have independent research experience done during my senior year of undergrad and have 2nd authored in one publication. I have also done a poster presentation and a oral presentation at conferences. I am thinking of applying to Teacher's college (personality and psychopathology), NYU (general), Fordham (applied psyc methods), Univ-Pitt (applied developmental psyc), Brandeis (general), Boston college and Boston University(general). What are my chances for getting into these master's programs? Thanks!
