  1. Same here haha. I'm a big fan of daily planners- I like the Blue sky planners but when I find the daily ones! I only use the monthly for big events/deadlines and daily to plan my days, and a whole page per day rather than a weekly where a few days are on one page.

  2. Hi guys,

    In an interview, when a professor is telling you about their work and barely ask questions, is that typically a bad or good sign? There was encouragement to reach out to students to ask about moving there, but I'm reading into how short the interview was (15-20 minutes) I guess every other experience I've had was more like being interrogated and asked to justify your life haha. I guess it could be a great sign where they just wanted to make sure I was interested and the interview was a formality? Or bad because there wasn't a lot of questions. What has your experience been with interviews like that?

  3. @NothalfgoodThank you so much for responding! I am interested in delving fully into academia, hoping to pursue a research based PhD in Clinical Psychology and eventually work towards becoming a researcher/professor. I am not interested in pursuing clinical work, but instead interested in obtaining research experience and staying in academia for my career. I should also add that the unfunded masters program has a funded PhD program at the school that is highly regarded in my field, and a lot of masters students seem to end up there after their degree. Everything is a perfect fit research wise and program wise for the unfunded program, but I don't know if I'd be a complete idiot for turning down a fully funded program with a stipend in exchange for student debt. 

     

  4. For a masters program- if you had one program that was a perfect research fit, ideal environment and location versus another program that was an okay research fit, not ideal location/environment, but was fully funded + stipend. I'm having a hard time, because my heart says the first school, but my head says it might be more practical to choose the second. Help! 

  5. Hey guys,

    As I'm sure a lot of you are in similar positions, I thought this would be helpful! I recently was admitted into a truly great program, and the excitement has slowly turned into crippling anxiety. Lots of "They're going to figure out I'm not as smart as they think I am" "Everyone else is so much better, I will fail"...etc. I know this is so common with all people and especially in academia! Anyone relating to that right now? Because I am feeling it hard?

  6. Hey guys! I was just recently accepted to a masters program among my top choices. I am still waiting to hear back from other programs. This program said I have until March 15th to either accept or decline. I'm freaking out a bit now, because I don't know if I'm even going to hear from my other schools by that point. I thought the commit date for graduate school was April 15th. What should I do? I'm worried about asking for more time preemptively in fear of sounding like I'm not grateful or seriously considering the acceptance. Any and all advice is appreciated!
