Hello, I'm new here. As an entering senior, I'm going to be applying to Industrial / Organizational Ph.D programs for 2017 Fall as well as Quantitative Psychology programs. I'm trying to get as many opinions as possible and gauge my competitiveness. I currently live on the west side of the U.S, and am attempting to get into programs on the left side of the country (UW, UMN, ASU, UCLA... etc.) On paper, here are my current statistics: GRE Q+V: 328 GRE Q: 165 (89%) GRE V: 163 (92%) GRE AWA: 5.5 (98%) I have a major in Psychology and a minor in Political Science GPA Overall: 3.3 (3.75 last 1.5 years) GPA Psych: 3.3 (3.8 last 1.5 years) GPA PS Minor: 3.9 One year research experience in a behavioral coding lab. One year research experience in a parent-child family lab editing micro-social interactions. One year research experience in a focus group in which I was personally invited to by a prestigious personality/political psychology faculty member. Half year research experience in a brain development lab interacting with families, cold-calling, aiding in or performing assessment. Will have strong letters of recommendation from tenured psychology faculty members at the University of Oregon. Have a few psychology awards/scholarships earned through research papers and a documentary project I recently finished. Not sure if it is relevant, but I also have two years professional experience in management and content production, and the content I produced garnered hundreds of thousands of unique visitors to the company website (I work between 20-50 hours per week while in school). I also have a couple years of leadership experience in the form of organizing, running and performing in the university's LoL and HotS clubs & teams. Any feedback would be extremely helpful, thank you! I started out school without proper motivation and I wasn't in the right headspace, my goal is to demonstrate that in these last years of academia I have demonstrated a significant upward trend.
