  1. Hi I'm a grad student in a large Midwestern university Ph.D. social psych program. This year we have 3 new incoming students and they all have master's degrees. I do think it's becoming more competitive. I'd suggest emailing the professor of a lab you're interested in and asking if you may volunteer as an RA or lab manager. After that it depends on how much work you put in.
  2. So I've noticed on the results page, someone was accepted to the social psych program at SUNY Buffalo, but with no funding. Is that possible? Sorry for my ignorance, I thought Ph.D. programs in psychology almost always gave funding to the accepted people.
  3. lol, I JUST finished my phone interview and I find this post! Anyway, hope to add on to help other ppl 1. I was also asked what kind of research interests I had, but my interests were too narrow! Similar to juror#1, the interviewer wanted me to reply broadly so that my interests overlapped with most of the faculty in the social department (so that they would approve of my admission me thinks?). That was awkward, and my most regrettable answer during the interview 2. My interviewers asked me what career path I was thinking of pursuing in the future. 3. They asked me what kind of mentoring style I preferred. I explained to them the style of my current research supervisor 4. They asked me whether I preferred teaching or research. (They have a research-oriented program..) I think I may have forgotten some questions, but those were the big ones. In the end, they told me about the visiting weekend, and also asked me to truthfully indicate where their school comes on my list (which was like no.1 since I really want to go there ) Hope I'm accepted! *crosses fingers* Good luck to everyone out there!
  4. Just so you know, I've emailed Swann before applications and he told me he wasn't taking anyone this year. Don't know if he has changed his mind though.
