I am applying for Fall 2014. I recently graduated from American University with an MA in Sociology and have a BA in Psychology. I plan on retaking the GRE in September after finishing my 8-week course. I have a solid writing sample from my thesis (qualitative) and I'm revamping my SOP. I have conference presentations and guest lectures on my CV and am working on an article submission. My research has focused primarily on women of color in STEM majors attending PWIs. My list so far is:
UT Austin
UM College Park
UCLA
UC Santa Barbara
Penn State
Temple U
NYU
North Carolina State
UVA
I'm hoping that an improvement in my GRE scores will eliminate the weak spot in my package *fingers crossed*
