If anyone interviewed at Auburn University for the Cognitive & Behavioral sciences program, PM me!

Also for anyone who needs ideas on what to ask your graduate student hosts, heres my list of questions for them: Advisor’s mentoring style: hands on vs. independent Do you feel supported by your advisor Why did you choose this program? What would you change about the program/advisor if you could Any unexpected surprises when you first started Conferences Journal clubs What do you do for fun? Things you like about _____ [insert city] How do you feel about the communication in the lab

thank you! those are good ideas I feel like i need more questions for professors also.

Does anyone have any suggestions on the kinds of questions to ask? Aside from more research specific questions, I have a lot of program/university related questions. Here's my list, please add to it! I have an interview this weekend and I felt like I ran out of questions at my last one! Program overview and requirements Can you explain the typical track? Especially the first year. Does this program do a lot of collaboration with other labs and departments? How active is the program/department in attending conferences? (& funding) Brown Bags? Journal clubs? Funding: how much funding is guaranteed and for how long? How much teaching are graduate students involved with? How might I fit in, having more interest in basic behavioral processes? How long does it usually take students to finish their degree?

Hi everyone! I'm just looking for some feedback on my credentials. I've already submitted all my applications so it's pretty much out of my control for the time being. I am applying to both PhD and MA/MS programs in experimental psychology, with an emphasis on behavior research. I have a 4.0 undergraduate GPA, 150 (quant)/156 (verbal)/4.0 (writing) GRE scores. I have several years of research experience, specifically 1 year at UCLA in the learning/behavior field. 2 posters & 1 presentation. any feedback is greatly appreciated.
