SocialPsychErin, I really admire your braveness! I applied to PhD psychology programs as well. So far, I've only received 2 rejections - one formal and one informal rejection as a response to my email inquiry. I stopped emailing since I feel that I'm emotionally too weak to take all the negative responses. But I think I should do what you did and get this over with ASAP Hope you will hear good news soon from the other 4 schools! Im waiting on NYU as well - hopefully I can at least have an offer for the MA program.

I applied to the same program in WashU too. haven't heard any thing - This is not a good sign for me...

Hi, I am an international student who applied for the US PhD programs for the first time. I've obtained my degrees in England (BSc @ Bristol; MSc @ Oxford with reasonable GPAs). I only made the final decision of doing a PhD degree in the US after finished my master, which was in September 2010. This means that I did everything in pretty last minutes - took GRE for the first time in Nov (V: 490; Q: 670, Eng is not my native language) and contacted schools before knowing the scores. After I've gone through the chaotic application process, I gradually realized that there's likely to be a big mismatch between my goals and my credentials. I figure that I might have a chance only in 2-3 schools I have applied (see my signature for the list), so now I start to consider applying for some MA programs. I hope to pursue a research career in Cognitive Affective Neuroscience or Developmental psychopathology - the interplay between emotion and cognitive functions in healthy adults, clinical populations, or children / adolescents. I guess I could use another MA degree to gain experiences in neuroscience research and push up my GRE and GPA. It would be really helpful if any of you could suggest some good MA programs (preferably those that offer studentships)! Your advice is much appreciated

Hi sjc96, Just out of curiosity too - Is your POI at UCLA is Nim Tottenham by any chance? I still haven't heard a word from UCLA. start to think that I might be rejected..

Hi, May I ask which program you are applying? I want to apply for PhD in Biopsychology. I emailed several professors but no one's ever replied to my emails. The application deadline is on 1 Feb. Already to late to ask application questions?!

I'm applying to the Biopsychology and behavioral neuroscience. But one POI I emailed hasn't replied me about whether she will be accepting new phd students..

I've applied for Florin Dolcos's Lab through both psych and neuroscience program. Hope I'll have a chance
