  1. waiting has been so difficult! This post has kept me a little more sane lol
  2. I only applied to one school. I'd love some direction if that happens to be my situation. I put a lot of effort into my application and I'm proud of it. However, as much time and research I did making sure I had everything I needed, it would have been nice to have more eyes on it and input from people who understand the process. That is a very kind offer and I greatly appreciate it.
  3. I took a few research methods classes in undergrad and in my grad program. It's not my favorite but I understand it. I have reached out to the faculty I want to work under most and briefly provided reasoning (reading publications and looking into her current projects) why I would be a valuable asset to her research. I know it's early and I believe it's common that they're slower than their posted timeline. I am passionate about this and it's tough to wait!
  4. I've worked 1:1 for 7+ years with children that have intellectual and developmental disabilities (majority being autism). I applied to an IDD program and requested to work under a faculty who researches socioemotional assessment and communication methods among children with ASD. My greatest accomplishments -to which my LOR writers attested- has been communication and behavioral problems linked to language deficits. I had a 4.0 in my M.Ed program while working full time but a 3.08 in my undergrad BS psych program. Of course this is all specific to program and person, but I am finding it difficult to relate with anyone about this process. I know in my heart I am valuable and I can be a great asset given the opportunity. I guess the longer the wait continues, the more my confidence begins to decline.
  5. Thank you for posting this! The waiting process has been brutal. The given timelines are so off if this process is anything like the one I'm going through.
  6. Would you say that having a Masters with extensive work history makes someone a more likely candidate than someone straight out of undergrad?
  7. On the Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities program page, it says that applicants will find out if they are invited for an interview mid-late December however the offices were closed from December 23rd-January 2nd. I haven't heard anything yet but I've seen that some people in a different psychology program have received emails inviting for interviews. I've got about 7 years experience with intellectual/developmental disabilities. I have a BS in psychology (3.08) with a M. Ed in Foundations of Behavior Analysis (4.0). I don't have extensive research experience but I've worked in psychiatric settings in addition to clinical experience working 1:1 with severe autism. I have previous supervisor recommendation in addition to the diagnostic clinician I worked closely with. My gut is telling me that this would make me a great candidate but it's difficult to continue this confidence as time goes on. I'm not the greatest writer but my statement of purpose was very personal to me and why I am a good fit for this program. My strength is in communication and early intervention for children with autism to which I requested working with a faculty member that specializes in exactly that. Maybe I am being too hard on myself. I don't have anyone to relate to about this experience so it's been a bit lonely and overwhelming.
