    Hey Guys, The grad school I applied to wants me to come in and write an essay in person(other option was sending in GRE scores). If anyone has ever done this, how did you prepare for it? My friend who went to NYU had to do that during her interview process).

    You should think about the program that is best suited for you as well as the one that is most affordable. It doesn't make sense to go to great a school and end up in a crap load of debt, especially if you're eventually going to go for a PHD. My older brother went to Drexel, it is one of the top schools for certain programs but depending on your program and how much that department gets is how big or little funding you'll receive(Enginnering and the sciences get the most from what I've heard). A friend of mine from college is from MA and went to undergrad ar the University of Delaware and grad school at the University of Penn for Social work and is in thousands of dollars in debt from grad and undergrad. My ex's ex went to Columbia for English and she can't find a job, and is in ALOT of debt.I'm just being honest, prestige isn't everything, you have to look at how it will affect you down the road Good luck

    I applied to a program at temple with a focus in behavioral sciences. I hate the waiting game, lol

    Hey guys, I have been seeing most post geared towards clinical, cognitive, social, and developmental, so where are my fellow educational applicants?! Come out of hiding, haha

    People go to Ivy league schools for the prestige and still can't find a job after graduating while others go to lower ranking schools and go on to have great careers. Don't go to a school that won't make you happy, high ranking or not. Study your ass off for the GREs, have faith in yourself and nothing can stop you!

    A friend of mine graduated from University of Penn with a Masters in Social Work. I know they gave her some money while she was studying there but not much and even had to take loans to pay for her apartment. But she also went to school out of state during undergrad and is still paying for that. If you can find a program that will fund you fully and don't have too many loans from undergrad, go for it. However, it is said that social workers take a lot for very little pay. But if it's your dream, nothing will stop you.

    If I get accepted into a program my job gives me money each semester for tuition and I'll just have to save up to pay for everything else. I can't afford to go to a unfunded program as I'm still paying loans from undergrad

    I was having a conversation with a friend one day about those applying to grad school while a senior in college vs those that have graduated for 2+ years and are now applying. Do you think working a number of jobs related to the grad program(I have worked as a research assistant in several cognitive labs as well as working in a clinical psych treatment center, children's care center, and currently as a technician for a very popular company-PM if you want details) you're applying to looks better than someone who has just come straight out of undergrad with a thesis and a few semesters of independent study? I understand it varies depending on the area of study and degree you're aiming for but in my friends eyes you look better as a canidate if you've done more things outside of undergrad. Thoughts?

    I'm applying to a few in my home state and a few in Philadelphia. I don't actually mind starting off with a Masters but like all of you it's difficult finding a program that matches our needs. I hope we all do well

    @FeelTheBernSorry for getting back so late, I was busy with work, finishing up apps, and spending time with my family. The director of the cog program said that here is a short list for interviews and if you did not make it to that then they can not grant an offer of admission. That's all I could get from him, lol

    @FeelTheBern The university was closed today due to the snow but I emailed the head of the cognitive department. I should hear back from him in a few days

    UD(all the out of state people say Udel, I'm from Delaware) has sent out invites for clinical, social, and neuroscience but not all for cognitive yet. I've been in touch with one of POIs talking about research for a while and she told me to contact the head of the cognitive department but that the comittee sends out invites and not the POIs/that it'a pretty competitive. My status for my application hasn't been changed yet. I'm going to contact the head and see what he says if anything for a peace of mind

    Still waiting to hear back from one of the programs I applied to and it's taking forever. I submitted my application a day or so before the deadline and my status hasn't changed from "submitted". I'm getting worried

    I would do the skype interview/phone interview because it is better than no interview at all. You already have legitmate reasons why you can't make the trip out there. So just tell them asap or you will lose you're going to lose your chance if you keep being indecisive
  23. Analyticchic
    I'm doing the exact thing for one university and I don't think the graduate admissions office would frown upon you at all. It just shows you're interested in more than one program, so maybe it'll make you stand out. *crosses fingers*

    So much for being positive, lol jk. Thanks, I had no idea

    Hey guys, I'm a fan of introspective questions and I just have to ask, what are you guys grateful for? It can be anything: the family dog, snow, the $20 dollars you found nestled into your laundry basket, that wawa sub/hoagie after a long day, etc. I'm really grateful for my family(we had a tough time with one of siblings earlier this year), the variety music my coworkers play on the daily when we're fixing apple products(I'm a mobile tech for Apple), a good cup of tea, going out on dates more, board games, movies, and just more confidence in myself Your turn!
