Any insight on Aviara Apartments or Addison Lane?

A lot of students transfer credits in from multiple universities during undergrad, for a lit of different reasons. As long as you were at the final school long enough to work in a lab and establish a good relationship with three profs who can write you LORs it shouldn't be an issue; assuming you have not been put on academic probation or been asked to leave a university.

I was on the UF grad housing website and noticed they had one bedrooms for $484- no roommates. I've also seen a lot of decent prices per bed (under $400) using apartments.com and hotpad. Good Luck!

I haven'y heard anything either, and have already accepted an offer elsewhere. Best of luck!

From my research it looks like housing in Gainesville is very low, but 11k is a low stipend for anywhere in the US. I have seen two bedroom apartments for about $900, so if you were had a roommate you may be able to get by on a vey very tight budget. I would also look on craigslist as you might be able to share a room with someone for even cheaper. I would contact the current grad students are see what they have been doing; perhaps some of them are working jobs and/or taking out small loans.

I tried every study book for the GRE and nothing helped raise my quant score. Eventually I forked out the money for Magoosh and it was extremely helpful and really helped me improve my quant score (my qual was already in the 90th). I studied two hours a day for three months.

Can you further describe the mistakes that you made on your application? It's difficult to gauge whether correcting these would really increase your chances next year.

Does anyone know of good apartment complexes for a one bedroom?

I have heard from NIU, and they should be sending out acceptance letters within the next week or so.

If you're sure you will not be going I wouldn't waste your or their time and money going.

Just from what you've listed here it seems that you may have more opportunities to grow academically and personally at school A. It seems that the main issue is the move and being away from your support system, so you would just have to be very intential about building a new one.

Still waiting to hear!

Thanks for this information! I'm concerned they are inviting so many people for so few spots though.

Has anyone from social heard from UC Santa Cruz yet?

I think for the administration to dictate what kinds of social science studies become funded would be too specific and difficult. There may be an overall reduction in funding, but I don't see the current administration seeking to stop discrimination research. If your research concerns climate change or Islam then you may want to be concerned. The administration has not made any specific statement about defunding actual universities -to my knowledge.

I honestly wouldn't worry too much about this, from what I've read there are hiring freezes for government agencies and the EPA looks to be in trouble, but the current gov hasn't mentioned defunding research or college

Sounds like if your LORs and GRE scores are good you'll be a strong candidate. As long as your research interests match well with those programs.

I haven't heard anything yet!

I am certain that is not true! A lot of the time it's because your POI wasn't able to take applicants this year. I am still waiting to hear from KU myself, and am betting that the system is just taking a while to email the rest of us.

Congrats!!!! That is a very impressive list. Out of curiosity, why did you turn down the interview at Rutgers?

When going to an interview weekend and you are meeting with profs that are not your POI what questions do you have prepared to ask them?

It's kind of hard to say without seeing the color. Can you link an image of the color the shoes are?

Congrats on the interview!!! APA is great, so is the association for psychological science (APS). Someone more clinical oriented may be able to name a few more. Usually there are a lot of posts in the spring as labs are often loosing their RAs and lab managers during that time because they're heading off to grad school. Hoping your interview goes great and you don't have to worry about it!!

As the previous poster stated, I wouldn't go into a masters without funding. I do however think that taking a year and working as a paid research assistant/lab manager in a topic somewhat closely related to you interests could help a lot. Knowing how competitive clinical programs are I would recommend really working hard (studying minimum of two hours a day for 6 days a week across 2+months) to significantly raise your GRE scores. In this coming year I would also recommend working on publishing your honors thesis. Even though the research isn't as closely related to what you want to peruse it is always impressive to have a publication. As for RA jobs, most psychological associations/society have job boards you can go to if you are a member. I've seen a lot of people looking for RAs/Lab Managers in those settings. If there are some specific labs you would want to work you can check their lab website or just cold email the PI. Don't be discouraged by one unsuccessful application round!

I think if they're more on the sheer side it would not look too black (e.g.https://goo.gl/images/DaLIky).
