What's good quant psych peeps? I'm not a Fall 2013 applicant, but it seems a little (or very) early to start a Fall 2014 thread, and I wanted to ask those of you who have recently been through the application process a few questions. First I'll provide some relevant background on myself, and then get to the questions. I'm American but currently teaching English in South Korea. I graduated with a double major in Psychology and Linguistics. I've already taken the GRE and am currently preparing to take the Psychology GRE in April. I think that's all the pertinent details...
QUESTIONS
1) Did anyone apply to any of the Canadian quant psych programs (UBC, McGill, SFU, York)? Does anyone know about funding sources for an American student in a Canadian program?
2) Does anyone know of a quant program/professor with language/linguistics-related research interests? I have not been able to find one
3) Do you think it would be possible to apply while backpacking through SE Asia? I will have already taken the GREs, and I'm planning to work on SOPs and CV and whatnot during the summer before I start my trip. But is there some other obstacle that I should be aware of?
Thanks for any feedback you can provide. I hope everyone is getting into some programs
