They address their letters to each individual school. Check the prospective school's application instructions - some prefer to have letter writers submit them online, some prefer to have the writers mail the letters directly, and some will ask the writer to sign his/her name across the seal of the envelope, then have you include it in an admissions packet.

I'd retake.

I'm not in your field either, but from the looks of it, I'd say you're right where you ought to be at this stage of the process.

Do you have something that's reasonably close? Something on either Arab lit or American lit? Something on lit at all? My writing sample didn't match my research goals, either, but it showcased my ability in certain statistical analyses.

They legally cannot turn you away because of a disability; however, they may have a requirement that students attend the program full-time. Are you registered with your undergraduate Student Disability Services?

1. Hypotheses,- As Line Length and the Numerosity Discrimination task are both assessing the same construct magnatatude the Accuracy (ACC) and Reaction Time (RT) should have strong positive correlation between individual tests.
A correlation. Paired sample t –test. Anova.
c. Test: ANOVA.
d. (Reason,: As these tests are designed to measure the same thing, I need to confirm that they do in fact “correlate” with each other on both levels of ACC and RT, as if its only RT that correlate strongly and not ACC it is further support that general processes (information processing) is the predictive or common factor between magnitude test types.)
The bolded bit also kinda makes it look like a multiple choice question. Good try, though!
Ask your Profess.... er, your PI. You might also want to check your
textbookIRB application. -
Some universities ask you to list up to three POIs on the application; at others, you cannot list more than one.

For research-oriented Universities (and/or medical centers, for that matter), some labs will hire people / have people volunteer to work in the lab. The work done in that lab usually revolves around what the professor is doing, with lab assistants helping out with data collection, maintaining the lab, and perhaps helping out with aspects of assessment/reports/presentations, but this varies greatly by lab, and is also somewhat dependent on the training you received as an undergrad. If you're hired as a research assistant, as opposed to having a student research assistant position, you probably wouldn't get to start doing your own research in that setting, but you'd be able to help; this is very different from being part of a lab even as a Masters student, where you conduct your own research under the advisement of your faculty supervisor. From what I understand, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a paid position as a research assistant.
Fit with a POI is possibly the most important part of grad school. Obviously grades & GREs play a role as far as Admissions Committees are concerned, but a POI needs to read your cover letter / SOP and be convinced that you are the perfect fit in his/her lab. It's going to be more difficult for you to figure that out given that you're taking online classes right now, but yes, Google Scholar / PsycInfo are going to be good sources for you to start. Keep in mind that you're basically committing to studying a topic for 4-ish years (in addition to clinical training, if you go that route), so you need to have a really strong interest in whatever that topic is, as well as working with that particular professor.

Teaching and counseling are two slightly different paths. You can become a counselor with a Master's degree and make only slightly less than a PhD, given the current reimbursement rates (which are decreasing, by the way). To teach at the University level, yes, you need a PhD.
1. FIT. It's less about the University than it is the person you're applying to work with. I'm sure Harvard has a great program, as do Yale, Columbia, & etc., but none of them had folks doing what I want to do. Especially when you're starting out, when you write a paper, take note of the folks you cite over and over again; they might make good POIs.
2. If you're in an area where you can get research experience, then yes, start looking to pick up lab hours. Alternatively/additionally, you might want to look at Masters programs (there are funded ones, but they're rare).
3. Yes.
4. Depends. I advise people to apply to a mix of Masters and PhD programs, because you never know. I applied to both my first time around, and got into Masters programs, but not PhD programs. I happened to live in an area where there were no psych labs to join, and I knew I needed research experience, so I went for the Masters degree. I'm now in a PhD program, and have a job which required the Masters degree.
5. ..... In theory, yes, but it's not a guarantee. Some folks will get into PhD programs, some won't. If a school has 300 applicants and can admit a cohort of 7, that's a lot of people who didn't get in.
6. Check the individual schools for deadlines.

I don't think the phrase "covariates affecting educational achievement" is too broad, per se, but it speaks more to Ed Psych. A Quant focus would be something more like "mathematically modeling the relationship between a number of covariates and educational achievement," or something to that effect. It's the focus on the covariates versus the math.
What specific quantitative techniques are you interested in?
-
First thing I thought after hearing you describe the range of evals is, they're normally distributed!
I think I would have been more worried with reviews that tend to pack on either extreme; sounds like you're not a nightmare, and you're not spouting rainbows. I think your plan to make some small changes is a good one. Have you spoken to a mentor?
-
Could have SWORN someone just asked this.
No. An experimental degree is not an I/O degree. Note the words "I/O" and "Experimental" are different, even; that's because they are different degrees with different training.
-
There's a difference between low GI and low carb.
Try natural sugar instead of refined - grapes, apples, etc. If it's truly the sugar, then you won't notice a difference in your ability to study, as it's sugar either way, but you'll be eating healthier. If your ability to study is not the same eating natural sugar as it is eating junk food, then the evidence would suggest the dependence on "sugar" is psychological.
-
I personally think you're competitive. Lack of research experience may be a hindrance w/r/t Clinical programs; you might want to add a few Master's programs to the mix, too, unless you have a lab nearby where you can volunteer.
-
That will vary by program; for the most part, I believe the answer is yes. Ace the rest of your classes, keep your cumulative GPA up, and prove that it was a fluke. Your SOP should focus on why you are a good fit for a specific person's lab.
-
Skip it. From an outsider's perspective, how many other people were in that group? And the prof decided you were guilty? Doesn't sound good. Let it go.
-
It's more common in Clinical programs than in Counseling; counseling programs are sometimes housed in the Education department, as opposed to the Psychology department, and funding varies. You may need to check with individual programs.
-
What LMac said. Want sugar? Try a banana - simple sugars, and just shy of the calories of a candy bar.
-
Is it a matter of you believing you're depriving yourself? There's a difference between "I can't eat that" and "I won't eat that."
-
Given what you want to do, I think Ed Psych will work better for you than Quant. If your focus is more on the outcome than it is on the stats (and I'm not knocking stats, don't get me wrong, I'm a Statistical Analyst), then Ed Psych is the way to go.

You cannot market an Experimental degree as an I/O degree because, well, it's not, much like Clinical and Counseling psych degrees are not the same thing.

I take breaks from schoolwork. When I get home, my focus is on my husband and my kids. My computer stays off while my kids are awake; it forces me to actually get stuff done when they're asleep. Several 3rd and 4th year students in my program don't do schoolwork on weekends, and recommended that to us during orientation (I'm not that good. Yet.). Learning to step back from it all and do something else is a skill - it takes practice.

Pretty sure you can submit your app now. The letter writers will be contacted through the university.
