But if you aren't admitted, even after the second attempt, to 30ish programs then the bar is too high. I understand that you have certain goals, but this process is indicating that you aren't quite at the caliber of schools that you're seeking. I do encourage you to continue your pursuits, however. AND like you say, this round isn't over yet. Good luck!

I can't really speak to the specificity of your program. Typically, full funding includes a complete tuition waver (perhaps for a stated number of credits). It is my understanding that "full funding" means all costs/fees are waived/covered and you will receive an additional stipend.
-
Typically, assuming the program has the money, travel support (partial or full) is extended to all accepted applicants.

Admission officers checked my LinkedIn Profile---Panic!

I've had hits to my academia.edu account from google searches. They like to see an online pressence like that, but they also like to see it maintained. -
Question about unofficial acceptance
uromastyx replied to scofield24's topic in Decisions, Decisions
Agreed, WAIT. -
It means they are interested in you and would like to butter you up so that you might be interested in (choose) them.

Anyone know when adcoms actually start reviewing apps?
uromastyx replied to Pinkman's topic in Government Affairs Forum
Depends of the department or even individual profs. Perhaps it's on the due date, perhaps a month later. If having your materials in on time is a concern then I would call the graduate secretary. -
Greetings devona, I have been searching for funding so that I may accept my place at Oxford. There is NOTHING outside of university/faculty/college scholarships, which aren't decided until late March at the earliest (and often months after that). So I am sitting around waiting. If you could find funding opportunities, chances are that the deadlines have passed. It sucks, and I'm with you. But why not just wait another year? Think of the money you'd save.

I cannot read with music. But i always write with music. I'm looking into the noise canceling stuff as well. Thanks for the tips!

Fifty Shades of Grey. First edition. I literally killed a peasant woman for it. -
What should I consider before canceling an interview?
uromastyx replied to GingerbreadLatte's topic in Psychology Forum
Sounds like you already know. Go with your gut on this one. -
Got an email from Purdue today. Any ideas? (I applied ece phd program)
uromastyx replied to wweerr's topic in Waiting it Out
Interview. They are interested. -
What should I ask grad students exactly?
uromastyx replied to Phil2013's topic in Decisions, Decisions
Who is their daddy and what does he do?? -
Tell me about it! I had to write a couple that basically asked me to put my CV in prose. Just look at the dang CV!!!! That being said, I would take it seriously. A departmental application request wouldn't exist if they didn't find it in some way relevant.

Is 3.6 GPA good for your masters program?
uromastyx replied to Sealove00's topic in Decisions, Decisions
It's not bad, but that's also not good, especially considering it was an online program. It should be "good enough," but will depend entirely on the programs you are interested in and what your entire application looks like. Don't put it all on one factor. Good luck. -
What is a good GPA for a graduate student?
uromastyx replied to Sealove00's topic in Coursework, Advising, and Exams
3.0 is basically failing. One would want at least a 3.75. -
Advisor told me: "if you want to get into a top PhD program your thesis needs to be near-publishable."
-
Mine was 3 pages single spaced! I know as a general rule, you shouldn't provide more than they request, unless they've personally told you otherwise. I would think that most people can keep it to 1-1.5 pages. Be succinct.
-
That one class isn't going to make or break a decision. Sorry. Just wait it out and have faith in your application.
-
If you're worried then tell her about it after a decision has been reached. What's a few more weeks?

Bump those GRE scores. That solid grad GPA will totally outweigh the undergrad GPA, but I'd still suggest commenting on the low GPA in the SOP (it was the same with me). My CV (numerous publications, conferences, professional experiences) is what sets me apart. IF you can get your work accepted into good journals then you must go for it. But getting pubs just for the sake of filling a CV is a bad idea. You're in psych so getting published is not as straightforward as it is for me. Do you have faculty who can help guide you? Keep in mind, pubs don't guarantee anything (check the results boards), but if they are good then they can help to separate you from the rest.

Do they give explanations for rejections?
uromastyx replied to The Mark's topic in Government Affairs Forum
No. But if you email the graduate director (a few weeks later) they might give you some feedback. -
Is this a legitimate forum post? Is NYC cool?
