I applied to 3 HDFS programs. So far I was only contaced by one (UT-Austin) and had a phone interview (I'm an international). I know that final decisions will be made in late January.
Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, Duke, UIUC, Arizona State - Developmental Psychology
UT-Austin, Purdue - HDFS
Uni of Houston, Uni of Rochester - Social Psychology
I'm an international student from a non-English speaking country.
The only things I have ever written in English are 3 different posters, which eventally were all presented in big international conferences. I am the 1st author in one of them. Is it OK to send just a poster? I mean - it does say a lot about my research and writing ability, so why not? On the other hand, it is NOT a 10-25 pages piece of work.
What do you think?
By the way, I'm applying for a Developmental Psych PhD program. .
