I'm curious, how did you get into Master's program in the first place if your undergrad major wasn't Psych? Did you take many Psych courses as undergrad? I'm asking because I'm contemplating getting into Psych (I'm an undergrad majoring in biology right now). Thanks.

I'm curious, how many credits of Psych did you take as undergraduate?

Ah, so I'm not the only one having problems with less than enthusiastic professors...

Hey all! I'm glad this thread has gotten some replies, even though the OP (me) has been out of the loop here... Thank you for the suggestions on Notre Dame and Berkeley. And kogia.breviceps, I think I do need to forget about Rice, the prof I was interested in working with is moving to another school. Entomology, you should consider the University of Kansas, there are some great systematics and entomology people. Oh, I feel that I might need to open up to studying another organism besides social insects. It's hard enough to find professors who do the kind of research that would fit to my interests, and chances are that some of those few won't even accept grad students when I'm applying...

Seems that many of the bio discussions here are geared towards, or populated by the Molecular/Neuro folks, which is fine, but I'd love to see a thread dedicated in particular to the applications, concerns and ideas of the EEB crowd, past and present. I'm a junior at the University of Kansas majoring in Organismal Biology. I haven't taken the GRE yet, but I'll intend to do it in the summer of 2011 and apply that fall for a possible fall 2012 entry. My GPA is 3.3 now and I'm trying to raise it at least to 3.5. I have some research experience in an animal behavior lab, and I'll try to work in another lab or two in the next three semesters. My research interests include social evolution, eusociality, social insects, mathematical modeling of social behavior and population dynamics, with a hint of systematics mixed in. Some of the schools I'm going to apply include Rice, Texas, Tufts, Louisville and Harvard. So, EEB people, join the monologue!

Congratulations!!! I might be applying to Einstein too next year, so I'd be curious to know what kind of stats/qualifications you had when you applied?
