Any one heard anything yet ? Its just a week to go for April 15th.

News about Cornell anyone?? Its been too long now......I am pretty sure its a rejection but I am desperate to hear a word now!!

Hello I am an International applicant and had applied to the social psychology graduate programs in the U.S for the Fall 2015. This was only my first round of applications and oweing to the huge amount of competition, I wasn't much hopeful. So my current position is that I have received 4 out of 5 rejections and I am pretty sure the 5th rejection is on the way. But I really want to work in the field of social psychology and if possible apply next year. However, I am in a fix as to how to improve my profile. I have 1 year of research experience and 1 year of teaching experience, but none is in the area of social psych. I have seen posters mentioning to gain lab experience in the various labs . But as an international applicant, I am just wondering : 1. whether getting lab experience would be more appropriate or should I apply for a master's program. I am confused as both the options would be expensive 2. Can anyone tell any options for funded masters programs in social psych? Please help !!

Any news about NYU social, Upenn , or Cornell admissions???

I also want to ask the same thing. I have applied to social psychology PhD programs for the fall 2015. But I never contacted any of my POIs before applying as their lab websites mentioned that they were taking in students this fall. So now are my chances of getting an admission bleak?? Is contacting the POIs crucial for receiving an admission??
