I have 1 from my supervisor, 1 from the professor that supervised my research a few years ago, I'm just missing one that can attest to my academic ability.

Hi all, I got my master degree three years ago. I've been working since graduation. Now I want to apply to schools again for a second master (but in another subfield). A few schools stated at least one of the LORs need to be from current/former professors. I tried to contact the graduate professors, but came with no luck. Is it ok to use the undergraduate recommendations that I have on file from Interfolio.com? Will it raise red flags? I only have 5 professors from my graduate institution and 3 of them were visiting professors, which I lost contact. The other two, one turned me down and another have not responded. I have moved since graduation so it will take a flight to ask in person. Any comments,suggestions,feedbacks?

You can't be worst than me. I struggled this first semester and ended up with a B- average. I'm emailing my advisor to see what I can do. I don't want to be expelled.

Thanks for your response. But I still think I'm gonna try to see if I can have a shot at transfering.

Now I decide I want to go for School Psychology Would it be a waste of time in the general psych program? Is it possible to do general psych M.A and like get a School Psych Ph.D later on? My school doesn't offer school psychology only general psych M.A. I'm so confused now. Is it a big mistake? Should I transfer? Ok I was just looking at the NASP website and it says certification for NY is : http://www.nasponline.org/certification ... st.aspx#NY Department of Education Credential: School Psychologist-requires either completion of a NYS registered graduate program in school psychology or 60 semester hours of graduate coursework in psychology leading to master's degree; internship approved by the graduate program (one year of paid, full-time approved experience as a school psychologist in a PreK-12 setting may be substituted for internship), Child Abuse Identification Workshop, and School Violence Prevention Workshop. Permanent certification requires 2 years of experience in a pupil personnel position. Board of Psychology Credential: Psychologist-requires doctoral degree in psychology, 2 years of supervised experience by a licensed psychologist (pre-doctoral: 1750 hour internship as part of doctoral program; post-doctoral:1750 hours) no more than a 45 hour work week, a passing converted score of at least 75 on EPPP, and certification as a Child Abuse Reporter. Requires 2 hours of weekly supervision, 1 of which must be face-to-face. Board does not license non-doctoral psychologists. So if anything that I want to work in the department of education, I'm safe? Because it says "60 semester hours of graduate coursework in psych leading to master's degree"

If you're in the masters program and would like to pursue ph.d later, start thinking about gre and gre subject......at least that's what I'm doing. Really master program can fly by fast =(

August 31st for me. I'm going to have class on Mondays and Thursdays

Wow, that's just omg. I don't know what to say. :x

Do schools send out rejection letters immediately or it's as slow as acceptance. I'm having a bad feeling of rejections coming along.....Once June comes, it'll be officially 3 months since I applied.

Tell me about it. In recent months my post office have been doing an half-a$$ job. I've got my mails delivered to my neighbors a couple of house down or they put it in my tenant's mailbox. What is that? They can't even read names or house numbers or apartment numbers? How did they pass that test to be a mailman? I got so pissed off I filed a complaint on them, but they keep denying and say Oh we delivery very carefully, is it because the names aren't written clearly on the mailboxes? ~_~ Well if permanent black marker written in plain English block letters at like font size 16 isn't clear enough I don't know what's called clear. Post office got attitude these days.

I haven't heard either. They sent me a snailmail a month ago that my application is being reviewed and I should hear from them by now. But nothing yet.

I really want to be a Clinical Psychologist.......

I do have to admit I slacked off a bit here and there. I don't want to make the same mistake again in grad school. I don't like how they universally judge, "Grad school believe if you can't maintain a 3.0 in undergrad, you can't do well in graduate school." That is so false. At least show some statistics...

I applied 6 accepted to 2 but still waiting for 4.......1 of them said they'll have decisions in 2-3 weeks by snailmail...(but it's been way over 3 weeks even 4, nothing in my mailbox).......1 fixed my application to completion on April 28th....2 I haven't heard from since I sent in application......I think i have a low chance of getting in..........sigh........I don't want to have to wait until June or July.....I didn't get any funds for the 2 that accepted me.....I'm crossing my fingers to hope to get in 1 of the 4 I'm waiting for....It's so hard to predict if I'll get in or not.....

Thanks for your response. Hopefully they will grant me the deferral.
