Hey guys!
 
I applied to:
The University of Utah
The University at Buffalo
The University of Virginia
The University of Georgia
Michigan State University
Good luck to everyone applying!

@SB24Hello, I just wanted to say I've also applied to the University of Utah and the University of Virginia! I'm also worried about getting in, we can be worried together haha. Good luck to you I think your experience sounds great!

It may not be the most helpful info but....I am currently a first year at UB, but I am in the MA program. The PhD requirements are more strict than MA, but I also did not have a good GRE score. I actually called the department before applying to express my concern. I was told that they look at your application holistically and that they do not weigh one component more than others. Based on that, I would say that your experiences are very valuable and should be the highlight of your application. Additionally, at UB if you do not get into the PhD but you do get into the MA program, you can reapply for the PhD, I believe after your second year. You have a better chance of getting in then and you can still complete the PhD in the same amount of time that you would have normally.  

@SchoolPsychApplicantI've applied to quite a few haha. Besides Utah and Virginia I did:
1. University of Wisconsin-Madison 2. University of Tennessee-Knoxville 3. Northeastern University 4. University of Maryland 5. Northern Illinois University 6. Syracuse University 7. University of South Carolina 8. Loyola University Chicago 9. Ohio State University

What other places are you applying to?

Me too! And Dr. Rispoli at MSU. You?

Hi!
Your experience is very important, so it’s good that you have that. I would check all the school you’re applying to - most of them say what the average GRE scores are for the people they accept. Make sure your letters of recommendation are STRONG and you statements are well worded and organized. I think you have a good shot. I wish you luck!
I’m currently applying as well! I’m applying to UGA and MSU like you. I’m also applying to Southern Mississippi, Oregon, Houston, and Indiana University - Bloomington.
