Good evening, Has anyone heard from UMD-College Park, University of Connecticut’s HDFS, or NCSU? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, After lurking for the past year, I decided to join Grad Cafe. I am looking to apply to developmental psychology PhD programs for the Fall 2020 cycle if I am a competitive candidate. I went to a state college and received two associates degrees before transferring to a public Florida university in Fall 2018 where I have majored in psychology for my bachelors. Due to transferring, it feels as if my time in the psychology program has been accelerated. Thankfully, I was invited to join a developmental psychology lab this past year as a research assistant, and I have been gaining experience in that regard. Some of my major interests are emerging adulthood and moral development. I have a 3.9 GPA and I am going to take the GREs in a few weeks after a summer full of studying. I am also open to applying to masters programs in developmental, but those programs seem few and far between. Most psychology masters seem to be in general psychology. Some programs I am looking at are: University of Oregon (both PhD, Developmental, and Masters, Developmental) Portland State University (Masters, Applied Developmental Pyschology) University of Pittsburgh (Developmental, PhD) Oregon State University (Masters in Human Development and Family Studies) North Carolina State University (Lifespan Development PhD) (This one has the most labs so far that pique my interest) Florida International University (Developmental (Lifespan) PhD) If anyone has any suggestions of programs, wake up calls about competitiveness, or just want to say hi, I am all ears. Thank you and I wish you the best during the application season!
