Thank you @Clinapp2017 and @t_ruth!

I've tried google but come up short. I'd love to hear about any schools! I know this one may be a stretch, but I wanted to also see if anyone knows about any professors that conduct research focusing on how games affect cognition/online communities affect cognition. Thank you so much!

Hello @Hk328 thank you so much for the feedback. I will be presenting my independent research at my schools poster session, and submitting it to the regional poster session that my school attends. For my internship, I will be giving a talk to professors, doctors, and other students. I will also most likely be asked to present my work from the internship at a poster session at my school. In regards to location, you're absolutely right - I know NYU has what im looking for in terms of program but Columbia - i'm not so sure. I will definitely consult my faculty mentor more - I feel as though I've asked everything I possibly could but I'm sure there's some rewording I could do

Hey! I'm a rising junior majoring in Psych and Comp Sci. I attend a small, somewhat selective liberal arts school. I'm pretty involved on campus, i'm a Resident Assistant as well as many other things that im going to leave out bccc anonymity. I have okay research experience, I was a Research assistant at my school twice in my freshman year, im currently conducting my own independent research which I started my sophomore year, and during the school year I am a research assistant at one of the top ten psych schools in the country, (i'm sorry i'm being vague i am just so paranoid) and for the summer, im a research assistant at an ivy. By the end of this internship, I believe I will be coauthored. I plan on conducting an honors research project in Psychology. At this time, I haven't taken my GRE's but I plan on taking it first thing next semester and taking it until I get a score that is competitive. I'm a first gen student so graduate school isn't something any of my family has experienced, and consequently, I can't get much advice from them. I would love to end up somewhere in New York, Columbia or NYU - outside of New York, I LOVE The University of Washington. for example, but i recognize that those programs are extremely selective and no matter what I've done, there is someone out there who has worked twice and hard and achieved twice as much. That's why I'm here. My GPA is not amazing. I'm currently at a 3.2. I've taken pretty much every "execution" course at my college, so at this point, I can only see my GPA going up (fingers crossed). I believe that by the end of my senior year, it should be at a 3.5. My question is simple but, understandably super hard to answer. I'm just seeking any kind of guidance or advice or *predictions* here. Do you guys think I have a chance at any of those graduate schools? What more can I do other than attempt to get another internship next summer/another co-author and raise my grades? If you need any specific information, please send me a message (if you're able to) and i'd be happy to specify stuff. I just want to try to be as anonymous as possible on here. Thank you in advance psychiscool
