I at least want a chance to interview.

Meh. I have 90+ percentile scores in both verbal and AWA, but my quant score is very bad (above 50 but not by...a whole lot). I have As in all my stats and research methods classes though... I'm applying for developmental, not clinical but I'm starting to get nervous. My current professor in undergrad has told me that she knows from inside sources that one of my POIs is very aware and very interested in my application, but I haven't heard anything from that school so idk...I hope my app didn't die in committee.

My last exam of the semester is tomorrow and then I can go home...

It's my birthday today guys.

I like this a lot.

I have one more final on Monday but after that it's going to be hard not to obsess over results...I finished the personal statement for my app that's due in January.

I agree with this statement. I think the GRE doesn't really measure much of interest for psychology applicants. I feel like a low score can be made up for through the other components more easily than some people on here seem to think.

How is everyone feeling now that we've submitted most of our apps?

What are these cutoffs, if you don't mind sharing?

Okay. I reformatted the personal statement for my last application that's due in January. Now all I have to do is write a paragraph about why I'm a good fit for the POI. *brain goes to sleep*

My advisor seems confident that I'm going to get a lot of interview offers....I hope she's right!

I should write another blog entry for you all but I don't know what to write about...any thoughts?

That's true but I still wonder whether it's part of a larger culture...

Well. I wrote a little bit of my statement of purpose and did a first pass through of the study guide for my exam so at least I did something...

I have an exam to study for and one last statement of purpose to write for an app due in January....motivation is low.

I so relate to everything you say about relationships lol.

It's snowing here and I just got back the pictures from a photoshoot I did with my friend and they're really pretty. Also I finished both my final papers and met my semester writing goal for my thesis.

Well. I finished my paper. No idea how good it is.

I applied to Temple!!! Don't worry. It says on the psych website that sometimes your Temple portal will say that you're missing things but you're not really. If you're missing anything they will contact you.

I met my writing goal for my final paper for today but I feel like I should keep going...

I don't know about LGBT issues in particular but I do know that three professors at Dartmouth just got put on leave because of sexual harrassment and rape allegations. https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/15/us/dartmouth-title-ix-lawsuit/index.html

Wrote another section of my final paper but I still feel like I'm pulling teeth.

Neither are mine, don't worry!

I'm in the same boat!

You people and your interviews...at least no one has talked about getting an interview at one of the schools I'm applying to....
