Hi psy405, I just want to say that I was accepted at Meredith and I will be attending-- I'm not sure what you are doing, but if you still have any questions I can answer them. It's a new program so there's not too much information out there yet.

I have not! Radio silence from BGSU.

Currently procrastinating data cleaning/analysis... so I'll start... I've been working in a social psych lab in a small college. It's the dept head's lab, which doesn't mean much at all, and we primarily do work on a longitudinal study that's been going since 2006. At a small school (with no graduate students in psych), roles often overlap and so I am the lab manager and the "older student" who mentors younger students when they arrive in the lab. It's a very rewarding experience, but since nobody truly understands the purpose of my job it can be frustrating! Two of "my" students have gone on to publish and many more to conferences... I am in the middle of publishing my first paper and I have been to a few conferences here and there. I actually do get paid, but I'm the only student that does get paid and it's not much. Gotta get that resume booster + I love it anyway! My PI treats me very well and I am sorry I graduate this Spring. What grad schools (and my "competition") see: hasn't published (yet), a few conferences, thinks "mentoring experience" is lab experience.

After the meeting, send a follow-up email confirming what you two spoke about. That way you have it in writing!

Same! @Mo889 and @Sparkybob CSU was my second choice! At least they described their acceptance pool, that was helpful to know.

One of my undergraduate faculty mentioned that Meredith College has a new master's program in I/O. Has anybody heard anything about that?

I would say pick the one you want more. If you have a chance at George Mason, take it! Apologize to UNCC and ask for another opportunity.

Has anybody heard back from State if they know when their interview weekend is? This is terrifying! I'm also waiting to hear back from BGSU and NCSU... apparently one person has gotten into BGSU.

I'm waiting too! Nothing yet. :/

Congratulations to the person who got accepted at Michigan State!

Two students, huh? I wonder how many she's been emailing! Probably more than two! Good luck, either way She does seem nice, I looked around for info about her and other people seem to like her as well.

Have other people heard from POIs at NC State? I haven't seen anybody else mention it!

Just heard back from NC State today- there was a new professor, not my POI, whose research aligned better with mine and emailed to ask for more information. This is the first inkling of information I've gotten back, so I'm pretty excited!
