Duke U; Applied Mathematics, PhD (F15); Rejected
"Grad GPA 3.95, two papers. So rude! Somebody is not as good as me but got an offer! Do not know the conditions for admission, quite upsite"
Such modesty.
And other kind young soul:
University Of Texas At Austin; Electrical And Computer Engineering, PhD (F15); Rejected
"Fuck that professor who told me that he would support me until last week, but refused to answer any emails after that. Probably he found another student. Please behave according to ethics you filthy beasts at UT Austin."
Lol such modesty.

Yeah, most of the time, you'll have to redo your MA, regardless of whether you do it in the states or another country. Sometimes programs will allow you to transfer your MA thesis, with the approval of the psychology department and often you'll have to defend it again. Sometimes you'll be able to transfer some courses, but often it is limited to 6-9 credits that you can transfer.
There are good funded MA programs in the U.S. - for example Villanova and Wake Forest. If you got into one of those programs, at least you wouldn't be losing as much money.
There are some awesome Canadian schools, like UBC and UT. I'm not sure how they are on transferring MA courses, but maybe they may be more inclined to let you do it? I'd look into that as well.

Hello everyone,
If I receive a Masters in a country outside of the US, is it possible to be accepted into a PhD program in the US?
Also, If I received a clinical, neuro, or cognitive Masters outside of the US would I be able to get a research or other field related position in the US?
Thanks.
Yes, you could get accepted to a PhD program, though you'll likely have to redo all or part of your masters.
There aren't many field positions for a master's in psychology, unless it is quant or clinical or counseling. That being said, the jobs mostly available to clinical or counseling are practicioner positions, which might be limited or not possible for someone with a master's degree outside the U.S. (I'm not sure here....you'd have to make sure you looked at all the APA guidelines for what qualifies one to practice with a master's level degree - these requirements will also vary from state to state).

If it is a rejection, I don't understand why they're waiting so long and I wasn't part of the first wave of rejection letters.
I'm not losing hope!!
I'm secretly not losing hope either. But I just wish they'd tell me if it is a silent waiting list.
-
Could be good, bad, or they are waiting. I have one of those too. But I've just signed it off as a rejection. :/

In the same boat. Trying to decide whether to act on an offer from No Where University, while I'm anxiously waiting it out on the Waiting List at a school.

I love this one:
University Of Nebraska-Lincoln Social Psychology, PhD (F15) Rejected via E-mail on 17 Mar 2015 A 17 Mar 2015
It's all good, I've always kind of wanted to work at Walmart and become a raging alcoholic anyway.

That's embarrassing: two points short of perfect, said no one ever.
Lol congrats! That's awesome!

I don't want to get entangled in any disputes. But I, myself, like a little Bush. Specifically, the ones that Leap. And that are Tenacious.

Hello All,
Like most of you, I am considering offers from several schools. I narrowed my choices down to three schools all of which that offered some funding. After speaking with several students and former professors, It was suggested that I ask for more money. (All of my schools of interests are out of state). I was wondering what is the proper etiquette in doing so? Who do I contact? What do I say?
Sorry for all the questions,
Thanks!
Well. There are two options:
1) threat (I'd go with this one)
.2) say "oh man, I just really love you, but school A offered me X amount of dollars..,and gee I'm just really hurting financially...so I wish this decision didn't have to be made off money because I love you but...(now pause and wait for them to budge)."

Poll: how many IO programs do interviews? Just wondering,
-
You could always go for a year and transfer!I try to keep a certain level anonymity (for instance, by using my real life picture...and, no, I don't do autographs), but, actually, yes, I'll be doing just that....I just didn't want to leave an online trail so people can figure out who I am.

Ha. Enjoy:
I've reached my quota for upvotes. But bless you!

Between this and the throwdown happening in the political science forum, wow. People are a little pissy tonight. (The poli sci one is way more entertaining... incase anybody wants to see a total meltdown haha.)
Where's the Poli Sci WWF Smackdown ?
(I think my previous post was deleted....really it's voyeur: I just want to read/look, not post/participate).)

Can't we all be friends?

Entertainment for daaays...Thanks for fueling my insomnia!
Please share. Where is Poli Sci WWF Smackdown?

I don't mean to toot my own horn. But I got into the very prestigious No Where University. Unfortunately, I turned down their generous offer and opted to go through this fun process again next year.

About the money thing, no, full time employees(which I would be) of the university get full tuition remission.
Well that's good. I mean, I'd say one of the most beneficial things is building skills (e.g., learning R, SAS, MPlus; learning multilevel modeling). That doesn't necessarily require courses. I've (and those who i know) built a lot of those skills through hands-on projects. But I don't have a strong opinion on whether the classes would be beneficial or not...
