Yeah, I'll never understand why knowing the analogy of a certain word without using the dictionary will ever help me in my psychology degree. My boss from my summer internship told me that GREs have been proven to be effective in helping to distinguish those who are able to make it through the first year of a graduate program, but nothing else. This is coming from someone who works at an organization that looks at this sort of stuff.

Yeah, that was me. Recruitment weekend isn't necessarily being accepted (I haven't been yet), but I don't think it's the same as an interview. My POI called and said he was waiting to hear about a grant, but invited me to the weekend in the mean while.

Wow, this thread is very intimidating. I only ended up taking the GRE once. My quant score was pretty good and my verbal one sucked, but it came out to be 1210, and I didn't think that was bad. I have many complaints about the GRE, and I'm just glad it's over with.

Just thought I'd say to those waiting to hear from Texas, there is a recruitment weekend Feb 19. I applied for the personality and social psyc program, but I'm on the personality side, so that doesn't mean they've done the social psyc applicants yet.

Okay, that's good to hear. Did you have a phone interview or did they just call to accept you?

Oh no, you've already heard from UCLA already for the behavioral neuroscience program? I haven't heard anything either way, but I assume a rejection will be coming soon.
