Hey guys, I am a first year student in a Master's experimental program. If my plan is to apply to I/O doctorate programs what kind of GPA is acceptable? As it is an experimental program, many of the courses are in basic areas of psychology and not I/O in particular. Therefore, is GPA an important aspect or will more emphasis placed on research/publications more related to the field? My future goal is to do organizational consulting so I know that it will be beneficial to have a PhD. My thesis is on this topic and there is room for me to take more I/O electives my second year. Any advice from others in and out of the field would be excellent. Thanks in advance!

I wanted to get some opinions on whether or not it is acceptable to send a thank you email after attending an interview weekend for a program. If so, should the email be short and to the point? Thanks for all the advice.

At the moment I am not applying to any masters programs. There are only a few programs matching my interest of Organizational Behavior Management, specifically geared towards mental health settings. With this being the case, I feel that I can apply to a masters program later on in the process if necessay. Is this a good idea?

I am applying to graduate programs for Applied Behavior Analysis starting fall 2014. Is there anyone else out there interested in this domain and applying as well? I have not seen a topic on here with any relation to behavior analysis, and thought there had to be a few individuals following in this route. Also, I plan on going straight from undergraduate and shooting for a PhD program. I just wanted to see if anyone had any advice for how to approach this area and how their experiences can relate.
