I am applying for the GEN PSY Program in Fall 2010, and was wondering if contacting the faculty is helpful for MA applicants. Any suggestions are welcome.

thanks liszt85. Let me think and I will sure be back with some more questions

Thanks, but I was wondering would I need to do that for Maters as well. Start going through the research of various professors and match it with my interests and strengths. Will that help ? I have time on my hands and could start doing that. And sure you would have had a strong UG profile to get a call from Northwestern. My GPA is ok and am pretty confident I will get a very good GRE score. LOR should not be a problem as well. No related research experience mind that. Do you think I have a shot at direct PhD ?

I am in the same boat as you. No UG PSY background. However I was wondering what program you are aiming. it would be great to share info. In btw which city are you in at present ?

Hi Mac, Which PhD program are you in ?

This would be a good place to get to know each other and share some helpful information.

Thanks.

Hey folks, I am an engineer 2003 pass out, working since, planning on a career shift towards Psychology. To be eligible for a PhD program, I am planning to apply for masters first. I am close to Florida State University and am planning to take three courses as a special student: 1. Gen PSY 2. Behavioral Statistics 3. Brain and Behavior Any suggestions are welcome. Could any one point me to the good schools for a masters program. I have done some research and have come down to: 1. NYU 2. Boston College 3. SUNY Buffalo 4. Boston University Are there any chances of getting a scholarship for an MA program. And what about Canadian programs, are they good ? And do they accept non psych students. On the applications page every university mentions that non psych background students are welcome, but do they actually accept them. Would I need to do something extra, to have a strong application. Thanks.
