Hi,
I have completed B.A. and M.A in psychology from India. I have a few questions regarding admissions:-
1. What exactly are official transcripts? Universities mention that they need transcripts to be sent by the university I have previously attended in order to be considered official. However many universities in India just issue transcripts signed & sealed in envelopes to the students. Would these be considered official?
2. I gave GRE in 2011 & my scores were Verbal - 500, Quant - 580. Are these scores decent enough for applying for PhD programs in i-o psychology? I'm retaking GRE in november. What would be a good score according to the new format?
3. Do universities prefer candidates who have a specific research topic they want to study or would stating broad areas be enough?
4. I dont have any research experience as such but I have been working in the area of development of aptitude and behavioural assessments in private organisations. Would this be relevant experience for universities?
