    Emotix got a reaction from European Lumpi in Management and/or Organizational Behavior PhD thread   
    Percentiles matter more than raw scores, but as a rule of thumb 160Q and 160V is often a cut off. Average admitted scores are usually around 165 each.

    Emotix got a reaction from eternallyephemeral in Interest in I/O Psych Program in 2017. HELP!   
    The mental health work experience isn't directly relevant to an I/O program, so I wouldn't emphasize it in a personal statement unless it somehow links to what you want to do with this degree. GREs and GPA are often used as the "gateway" to consideration, meaning that they won't guarantee you an admit, but they can keep you out. However, no one here can definitively say that you do or do not have a chance. The only way to know is to apply and gear your application toward your strengths for I/O. And don't cut down others for having less experience - its your fit and potential for a program that will have the greatest impact.

    I think those tops are fine for the other events during an interview weekend, but might be a bit too casual for the actual interview itself. You could try to find something similar that has a collar and/or is a button down blouse, or something that looks nice tucked in a bit so it isn't so flowy/casual-looking. Of course, these are just my opinions, but below are some styles that I think would work well without a suit jacket that are similar to what you have above.

    I think those shoes would be fine. Like another poster mentioned, a blazer might not be necessary, but wouldn't cost you any "points." As long as you feel comfortable in what you're wearing, it should be fine.

    Emotix got a reaction from Blackwater in Social Psychology Fall 2017 Applicants   
    I'm not sure if this is relevant for you, but if you've been out of school a few years they may question you about that. I was asked, "Why the PhD? Why now? Are you sure you're ready to leave work and go back to school?" I was also asked a lot about my specific research interests to determine my fit for their lab. My phone interview was very casual, not at all set up like a structured interview.

    This board is a bit quiet, sorry you didn't receive any help. How did the meeting go?
