  1. Anyone tried a book by Ch. Meyer "GRE Vocabulary Notebook: 4615 Words for Self-Practice"?
  2. GRE second attempt. I hope this one the vocab won't destroy me ?
  3. Hi, it’s my first post here but I hope not last I’m an international student who would like to pursue her PhD in Psychology in the US. I have BA and MA in Applied Linguistics from the top tenth university in my country. My GPA is pretty low but I hope to get great GRE and GRE Psychology scores (I plan to apply in 2018 so I still have a few months to prepare). BA GPA 2.95 MA GPA 3.25 (some unis count my MA as an equivalent of US BA) Cumulative GPA 3.10 No lab research experience, no publications. I only wrote and defended two theses because it’s the standard procedure in my country required to obtain your degree. In order to write them I had to collect materials, pick up examples and analyze them in writing. And then defend my results in front of the commission. My theses had 60 and 72 pages. (I’m writing about it because perhaps I can use these experiences in my personal statement, can't I?). I’ll get good letters of recommendation from my former uni. I don’t want to enter clinical/counselling/school PhD. All I want to do is research (eg. cognitive psychology/language psychology). So I guess the uni doesn’t have to be APA certified. Also, I’d like to attend a funded program and of course the uni doesn’t have to be top. As I’m already in the US and have some time I plan to volunteer at some uni in the neighborhood to get more research experience. Do I have any chances of getting accepted for a fully FUNDED program (tuition waiver + fellowship/scholarship) or PhD in Psychology is so overcrowded that my GPA will hinder my application leaving me with no admission?
