I think that if i get accepted into my #1 choice school, i will definitely post something up like "yay i got in" but withhold the school name and I think that my closest friends and family will eventually asks me about it and it is then when I will reveal the school to them. I must admit I understand about wanting to post something this major to share with your friends and family and I see it on my friend's walls too like when they have their child, get married/engaged, buy a house, etc. but its posts like "ok i looked at my first house now" then 5 min later, "ok i am looking at my 2nd house" and then the next day "ok i am looking at my 3rd house" and then one month later "ok i am putting my bid down" then one week later "awww they rejected my bid" etc etc etc... i don't need to know what's going on every second but its nice when they finally got their first house after everything they've gone through. Its times like that I feel its appropriate to post on fb and let your friends celebrate with you.

i applied to six schools, I have a feeling that it is going to be across the board rejection but I would be happy if any one of them takes me....good luck to all the applicants this year !! I hope everyone gets good news !!!

don't know if this is appropriate but does anyone know what is the acceptance rate for students who are out of state vs in state ?? i guess my question is is it easier to get into a graduate program if u are out of state than if you reside in the state which the school is in.

Hi, everyone, I have been lurking on the board for awhile and have now decided to join because i need some help with grad school. My dilemma is this: 1) My gpa is not good ... (2.0 overall, 3.0 in major psychology) I messed up the first two years because i was an chemistry major before switching to psychology. 2) graduated from a state university three years ago. 3) haven't taking my GRE yet, am currently studying for it while working full time as a case manager for low income families. 4) good thing going for me ?? I have had three year experience working with the populations that I want to work with after I get my masters and also my current manager will write an excellent letter of recommendation for me. 5) my ultimate goal is to work with juvenile (preferably as a therapist) .... I would love to be able to work directly with youth who are in juvie and be able to give them a second chance. I am also interested in being able to testify in court for them. so based on all these criteria. what do you think of my chances of getting into grad school ? I am undecided between a LCSW (license clinician social worker) or MA in forensic psychology. Any help would be grealy appreciated.
