That is awesome! If you don't mind me asking, which school is this?

Haha yes. I was bored because I had nothing to do and my gf just left so I could call or talk to her..So i was bored at the time. That is why I made the topic. It's kinda different to get really excited when you get an email or you are able to chat for like 3 minutes wit my gf.

I love how people complain about 1270. I would take that score any day. I am applying to PhD programs wil 1100! So yall shouldnt feel bad. I should.

How low is your GRE.. see I have a low GRE score...1100...but people on this forum think a low GRE score is a 1250. I'll take a 1250 any day of the year.

If accepted to a PhD or a masters program, I will be starting at the age of 22!

Have you tried talking to professors who have successfully earned their PhD?

Thanks for the help!

Skydive, gamble, and travel.

@ rising_star: Im not going to bust into graduate school and say " I want to go oveseas and send me" Im not that stupid. Im a little lax here on the forums. I do have research ideas that I would like to look in further and see. I want to see how jury bias might change depending on what country you are in. How the justice system is different. How americans pick juries versus how another country picks them. All depends if there are big universities out there that are also doing research like I want to do.

I dont care what I do. I just want to go overseas. I would like to do something like a "visiting student" type of things. Go to another university with a legal psych professor. Do research with them and take classes.

Is it possible to study abroad in grad school? I never went during undergrad because of money. But, is it ever possible to do that? I always thought it would be cool to study the justice system in another country. It would give me a good opportunity to go to another country and do relevant school work.

I called some of the schools I am applying to. They very very helpful.

I got emails on the 15th saying my application was complete. I knew that I might be receiving emails on that day so I didn't get excited. Schools should not send anymore messages after the deadline unless you are accepting me or rejecting me!

So is anyone applying to any Criminology programs? I am applying to three masters programs in the criminology area. Is anyone else out there? There isn't really a criminology section of the board so I thought I would make a topic here! ( also, anyone applying to any legal psychology schools?)

Any people in the south?! Tennessee?! I will be presenting at Southeastern Psychology Association (SEPA) in march!

Will they be open on monday? My university is closed on monday.

Here is a random question. I am bored and my girlfriend just left for spain for 4 months. Has anyone ever dated someone over seas? Me and my gf were already long distance for the school year ( she went to school in ohio and I went to school in TN) we have been dating for four months. Now she will be in spain for 4 months. Seeing if anyone had any advice.

I wanted to apply to UMich because a professor there does research on psychology and law. I based all my research off her. But, because it was so competitive she told me not to apply. She doesnt have a say until later. They automatically reject so many people.

I agree with karakiz that the graduate schools are very understanding. My final LOR emailed her letter to about 4 programs. Contact the schools and let them know and ask if they can just email the letter.

A graduate director told me also. I want to research exactly what she does. She told me that she wants more of those people and im a perfect fit. She even told " we want you!" So I am hoping that they take me. It's one of my masters programs, but they want you to stay there and get your PhD. So I hope she wants me enough to accept me.

My professor finally came through last night. All my letters have been uploaded or emailed! I am soooo happy! Now it is time to sit back and wait...

Who are you wanting to work with at UIC?

Oh my goodness. I say just say you never received that email and try and plan to go to the interview. haha I can't believe programs do that. How hard is it to send that to the correct people.

I really hate these cuts. I believe that there are great students out there with average GRE and GPA. Anyone can stay in their room 24 hours a day and make a 4.0. But if people are actually doing research and other thing, their GPA will be lower.

Who do you want to work with at Tufts? I am applying there for psychology as well.
