Hello, I PMed you as you suggested yesterday in response to my post asking for Ed Psych PhD application advice. Thank you so much for your kind guidance. Much appreciated.

Dear all, Looking for some application advice here. I graduated with an MS in Statistics from UT Austin back in 2013. Since then I have been working as a data analyst. I have been thinking about getting a PhD in Educational psychology. I am interested in psychometrics and applying statistics to educational data. I also want to apply directly for a PhD rather than Master's. However I don't have a background in psychology or education and no research experience. I have a good Masters gpa: 3.86, but a weak undergrad gpa (around 2.8)and decent GRE scores( 99% verbal, 82% quant, 4.0 writing ). Can anyone give me any advice on what types of schools to apply to? Should I look for lower ranked schools and write to individual faculty to see if they will take me? Any specific programs anyone can suggest? Thanks for any advice!
