Hi everyone, Hope you are all having a good Wednesday! I am on the hunt for a self-report measure that assesses both anaerobic and aerobic exercise OR two separate self-report measures that examine the constructs separately. Please let me know if you know of any Thanks! K.

Hoping I can breathe some life back into this thread.. Does anyone know which are the best coffee shops in town and which is the best yoga studio (preferably hot yoga).

I'll be attending Iowa State for a Ph.D. in social psychology . Congratulations to everyone on this forum for making it this far and best of luck!

I got that this morning but my status hasn't changed. I think it was just a reminder for us to check for a status update on April 1st.

Hey everyone, I am deciding between two schools to pursue my master's/Ph.D and am curious if anyone knows what Iowa States Psychology Graduate program reputation is like. I am a Canadian so all I know about their reputation is what you see on any top 200 university list. I'm just curious to what you think when you hear 'ISU'. Thanks! K.

I agree, it totally sounds like an acceptance! Congrats morningsun!

To find the sources you need you should learn how to use a search engine (e.g., PsychInfo or Google Scholar) efficiently. So for question two you could try searching "Money" AND "Incentive" then you can narrow where you want these words to appear (e.g., title, text, abstract). To write efficiently you should be constructing your essay like a upside down triangle (UNLESS you are writing a research thesis, with a discussion and results section, in which case it should be like an hourglass). What I mean by the upside down triangle is you start broadly and than narrow in on research that supports your conclusion. Make sure you cite each and every source that you use/get ideas from and use APA formatting if this is for a psychology class. If you want to be super technical you should be including a running head and page numbers. Using transition words is helpful for linking ideas and allowing your essay to be less jarring to read (e.g., additionally, further, therefore, nevertheless, however, thus ext.). Your paragraphs should follow a logical flow from idea to idea and you can achieve this by having the last sentence in each paragraph link to the first sentence in the next paragraph. For example: Although, many researchers believe that the humming bird only obtains nutrition from plant nectar, recent research has shown that they may eat a diverse range of plant material. Someone et al, (2008) followed the migration pattern of a wide variety of bird species and determined that hummingbirds obtain most their nutrition from flower petals and stems. Hope this helped, K.

CGS is supposed to be released April 1st. Not to sure about OGS. Some schools offer you two different funding options, one if you do not receive external funding and another which will be less internal funding if you are awarded external funding. I would wait for your formal offer and see what the funding package looks like. If the school only offers one funding package, regardless of external funding, I would personally wait to accept. Just to ensure that you know you will be receiving enough financial support within your M.A. to pay the cost of living. Edit: I'm pretty sure the official deadline to accept/reject for all Canadian schools is April 15th, though your POI may try to push you into doing it sooner.

Green thumb

Not at all. I would call your POI and ask if that information will be released in your formal offer and to explain to you how TA/RAships work at their institution (i.e.,are they based off financial need or GPA/is the TA/RAship included in your total allotted stipend).

Born in Canada, have been to the U.S., and have backpacked Australia, Italy, France, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Belgium.

Magoosh online test prep is pretty good: ) Edit: I totally misread your post..

Yay! Congrats!

Take the interview but make sure to ask how she sees your research interests fitting together. It's been my experience that a lot of professors don't update their research interests on their webpage/the institution's webpage. So maybe their interests are more aligned with yours than you think. If it's clear after the interview that you do not see yourself working with them let them know through a polite e-mail. Cheers, K

Putting the profs name and claiming to hate them is harsh. It's not like they did't let this applicant in based on a personal vendetta.

Sorry to hear about Ottawa I wouldn't read too much into it. Just because one prof is confident and vocal about predicting graduate admissions, doesn't mean they will all be so vocal about what they think will happen.

Michigan Ann Arbor "you sucking is not limited to football and no wonder detroit becoming an industrial wasteland and i hate yusufcan."

"For the Analytical Writing section, each essay receives a score from at least one trained reader, using a six-point holistic scale. In holistic scoring, readers are trained to assign scores on the basis of the overall quality of an essay in response to the assigned task. The essay score is then reviewed by e-rater®, a computerized program developed by ETS, which is used to monitor the human reader. If the e-raterevaluation and the human score agree, the human score is used as the final score. If they disagree by a certain amount, a second human score is obtained, and the final score is the average of the two human scores. The final scores on the two essays are then averaged and rounded to the nearest half-point interval on the 0–6 score scale. A single score is reported for the Analytical Writing measure. The primary emphasis in scoring the Analytical Writing section is on your critical thinking and analytical writing skills rather than on grammar and mechanics. Read the "Issue" and "Argument" scoring guides below." Source: https://www.ets.org/gre/revised_general/scores/how/ I received a 5.5/6 for my analytic score and I have to say that I doubt it was due to using GRE words (because I only knowingly used one). Although I obviously structured my essays into paragraphs and used transition words I would say that my score was probably due to the ability to properly support my argument as well as acknowledge and dismiss opposing arguments. I would strongly suggest practicing your writing if you feel that you are not a strong writer. Please learn how to write a good essay, if not for the sake of your GRE score than do it for your graduate/post graduate career.

The prof could have said something like "I will be passing your name along to the selection committee and I would be shocked if you didn't get an offer".

Thanks for letting us know! I can begin bracing myself for rejection

If you studied geometry and trigonometry eons ago, like me, than Magoosh is the best website for studying for the GRE(also has sections for understanding how to answer a verbal question and tricks to help you eliminate wrong answers). It has practice quizzes and videos that explain concepts more clearly then than books do. I would also get the ETS official guide and one manhattan book since that will provide you with 8 full length practice tests. Don't forget that you can google GRE practice tests and get at least two. Also there are free GRE Vocab apps for your phone, which are really great to kill time on a the bus &c. Honestly I would suggest reading the new york times or any other news paper that covers world news. If you're not familiar with a word look it up. I set one month aside just for studying for the GRE.. Hope this helps, K.
