  1. Just sent out 1st round of letters of interest, NYU U Minnesota UT Austin Denver U. Yale I'm hoping 3 years research experience, 159 GRE V/Q and 5.0 essay are enough to overcome a 3.59 GPA (lazy first few years...bad survey courses) Didn't think sending out letters of interest would be stressful, but making sure I'm sending the right letter to the right person with the right details wasn't fun, and then thinking I misspelled something or put the wrong name in after I had pressed send probably gave me a few grey hairs.
  2. Not sure yet, I'll update here when I find out who isn't accepting from my pool. I've seen a few people at UT:Austin and UC Davis, but I'll find out a more definitive list once my letter of interest net goes out.
  3. Wow small world indeed. I worked with Yuko Munakata at CU:Boulder and wrote a thesis on how a child's daily schedule influences their executive functioning, I then took that thesis and worked with the lab to get it published, you can look at it here: http://journal.frontiersin.org/Journal/10.3389/fpsyg.2014.00593/abstract For grad school I really want to look at work on executive functioning but specifically social and cultural impacts on EF. I worked with Blair at NYU where he looked at family stresses and how they might impact EF. I also dabbled in some Computational Cognitive Neuropsych at CU and got interested in model building, I really like the work Legare has done on causal learning and want to see if I can expand my research on EF and incorporate it with cultural based causal learning explanations. I would love to talk with you more about Stephanie and Phil, I've been looking at their work a lot and love hearing Stephanie talk at conferences, they are both so influential in the EF world that I can imagine that working with them has propelled your knowledge of EF far ahead of most people applying to grad school.
  4. Hi gradchaser I'm applying for developmental psych for the 2015 or 2016 cycle (I decided to be flexible on the year since a professor who is the right fit might not be available for another year, if that's the case I'll try to PRA for them prior to going for the PhD). My shortlist is currently U Minnesota with Stephanie Carlson, NYU with Clancy Blair, UT Austin with Cristine Legare, I'm also looking at DU, Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State. I'm sending out emails this week to a list of about 20 professors expressing interest in applying for their program in 2015 and asking if they are accepting students for 2015. The thing I've found most confusing so far is the apparent under-valuation of analytical writing on the GRE. I scored a 159V 159Q and 5.0 on the essay, and many schools are reporting accepted averages of 3.5 in Essay but 163V. I hope there's a balance that is struck between the scores and that there isn't a hard cutoff in Verbal.
