I have two acceptances from Psychology M.A. programs. One requires an answer by 4/15, the other by 4/18.... oh, and i'm waitlisted at 4 Ph.D. programs....

Ooooo, I like this topic! I'll be 25, turning 26 a few months into my first year. My only regret is not doing this 1 year earlier. But i'm glad I waited... I don't think i could've done grad school at 21!

Usf sent me a no a few weeks ago. Maryland has been mum didn't apply to Akron and I'm still in limbo as well :-/

Hi everyone, I have been accepted to NYU and Columbia's terminal M.A./S. programs and was wondering if anyone knows anything about these programs...i.e. rank? are students happy? how many students continue to get their Ph.D.? Job placement? etc. Also, any info about CUNY's I/O psych M.S. would be wonderful. I have researched these schools on the SIOP website, but aside from student rankings of these programs, there is no addtional info....soooooooo ANY advice is very very welcome! Thanks in advance!!

Hi everyone, Hope I'm posting this on the right thread... has anyone heard anything from this program (good, bad or ugly?) Thanks!

Omg, I know. I have a feeling that ALL of us would be much more competitive applciants if we actually knew what goes on when applications are reviewed!! I like the reality show idea... lol. If grad school doesn't work out, maybe someone should pitch that to a TV station!

She sounds like a wise woman! No, still waiting to hear from other universities and to hear if I get any financial aid from this one how about yourself- any luck yet?

Hi everyone, So I live in NYC and commute to Jersey on a regular basis- thereby commuting on the same trains as Princeton and Rutgers professors and students. Yesterday, I just so happened to sit behind a professor from one of these universities and noticed he was replying to his "application status request" emails. It took him less than 5 minutes to answer (approx.) 20 emails. He did not even read the letter. He opened each email, pasted a reply, and sent back the answer...Now, I know this happens (probably more often than we think); and I assume that the text he was pasting was a generic "you'll be getting a response in X time" answer.... but seeing this happen with my own eyes made me think..... anyway, just thought others might appreciate this info... sometimes the messages we get from professors really don't mean more than what's written in black and white.... Good luck to all! Jillybean

Thanks! I'm curious to know the logic is behind the "don't take out more loans than your starting salary will be" rule. Where did you hear that? It sounds like a great advice!
