Hey! Sorry for just now seeing this but no I haven’t bought any extra storage while using this system

Hello! The university of Pittsburgh has an excellent psychology post bacc program!! It’s so amazing - I attended this one. I’ve also heard that Northwestern, UC Berkeley and UC Irvine and more. I started my search for post baccs using apa - https://www.apa.org/ed/precollege/psn/2014/09/post-baccalaureate.aspx hopefully this helps!

Thank you! I was beginning to worry! I will pm you!

Well I guess I’m the only one going to SLU ?

I think tattoos are appropriate for graduate school. A lot of my friends and myself have tattoos that are shown daily! I think if it made you uncomfortable about your tattoo then you should cover it. But he might have made that comment because he didn’t expect you to have a tattoo, which was the case with my advisor. I have two tattoos on my shoulders as well (and I often forget they are there too). Maybe he added the on you because it fits your personality or something However, I probably would’ve been creeped out by the wink too. Winks are weird. If he was just like oh that’s a nice tattoo on you sans the wink, I would’ve been more okay.

If I were in your shoes, I’d probably forego it. I think those scores are sufficient for counseling programs! Especially with the GRE being so expensive lol I would focus on your publications as well as going thru your application materials that you used before to look for room for improvement. Especially if your POI’s don’t respond to an email asking for areas of improvement (because I did and only one person responded ?). When I reapplied I formatted everything differently, which idk if it helped but it made me feel better.

I use basically this system - https://youtu.be/1EAuzLutf8M

I’ve been using a google form, but it still put everything into an excel file when it’s all said and done. But I always be sure to include keywords to make it more searchable.

I agree with what everyone has said above. What I did specifically was look at their schools academic calendars to make sure i wasn’t emailing during midterms. Which was a little extra, but I think it helped get my email in the perfect window during the semester! I emailed like a week and a half (almost two weeks) before midterms

I didn’t see this already done for this fall so... I’m starting the trend! I will be in the clinical psychology Ph.D. program! I am super excited about starting! I will be moving from PGH.

I know!! It’s sooo frustrating! I’m sorry!

I’ve personally been going thru the same thing! I’ve just been trying to not work myself up about it too much. Like “there’s a reason I got in and it will be okay.” It’s hard tho

Soooo this post is mainly folks that applied this cycle and were successful (hopefully this doesn’t sound offensive). I am super excited about being able to pursue this dream but I’m also super nervous. I am feeling a bit anxious about starting in the fall. I don’t know if steming from having to move half way across the country or starting a new program or if it’s from like all the work put in and finally getting accepted or imposter syndrome or what. I am just wondering if I am the only one experiencing this. If you have any tips on combatting this please share ?

Slow ride

Acceptances typically come from the department. In the case of psychology most likely from the faculty advisor or the department chair of HMB. I didn’t find out until like the last week of June tbh.
