  1. would also love to know this, I applied there too
  2. Portal, Her Story, Life is Strange, a bunch of mystery games. Did I pass?
  3. Also just finished submitting and now obsessively checking for receipt of my supporting documents! And enjoying the results of my Steam binge during the Autumn sale. It's going to be a long few months...
  4. Took this advice - in case anyone is curious about the answer, they don't have a specific list! You can apply to any faculty in the department.
  5. Hi all, I have a reasonable list of POIs I'd be interested in working with at John Jay, but realized I can't find a list anywhere of who is accepting grad students for 2019. Does anyone have this or know where it is? Thanks!
  6. I'm mostly worried that I don't have an academic or research background in psychology (it's all engineering and ecology) and don't have any clinical experience, so a school/POI would have to take a pretty big bet on me for affinity/actual ability in psychology.
  7. I've turned in 2 for 11/15 deadlines and now have 7 SOPs to personalize... Happy early Thanksgiving y'all!
  8. Is it useful to send something that's already published and publicly available?
  9. Sounds like I'm in a possibly reasonable range then... I'm applying to 9 as of now and worried about getting rejected everywhere (because why not panic lol)
  10. Out of curiosity, how many schools do people usually apply to?
  11. I'm not an expert as I'm applying this cycle as well, but I'd send your more recent scores, as it's only a small tick down in quant and a pretty substantial increase in verbal with a slight increase in AW. The latter are the most important anyway.
  12. Hi y'all! Found this while freaking out on the internet so figured it would be a great idea to post my story as well I have a bit of a unique application - 3.5 UG in engineering at an Ivy - and am applying for clinical PhD programs with a focus on forensics or PTSD/trauma. Research-wise, I worked in 3 labs over 4 years in school, with 1 first author pub, 1 third author pub, and 1 paper presentation at a conference, plus an honors thesis. Basically all of this is mathematical modelling/statistical analysis of qualitative/social science topics, which at least prepares me well for the "how" aspect of psych research. I'm taking two masters level classes online right now and doing well in them, but don't think this will factor significantly into my application. Work-wise, I've done some professional freelance writing, quantitative analysis interning for the government (_shady eyes_ lol), and have worked at a top hedge fund for the past year doing macroeconomic research and running some of their talent strategy. My GRE scores are in the top 95+% and will have strong LORs from professors I've done research with. Idk what else is relevant, but happy to answer any questions that help y'all predict my fate. Applying to: Washington, Colorado Springs, Texas A&M, Alabama, Kentucky, USUHS, Harvard, John Jay, and Georgia. Trying not to have preferences right now since it's such a crap shoot.
