psyched for psych

Ultimately, the decision is yours. I had a situation similar to yours and I decided to attend graduate school a the same place I did my undergraduate. For me ,it was about saving money since it seems to be so scarce these days.

My blunt answer is NO..

I think it all depends on the school you are trying to attend. As much as everyone would like to speculate here, it is best that you ask someone from admissions. Good luck to you

I remember the moment very vividly in my mind (it happened last week). I was on yahoo messenger chatting with my best friend. I was pretty much complaining about not getting a response so I decided to get up to check the mail. I was so glad I did because there was a letter from the school. I opened it and at first I thought maybe I hadn't gotten in since my grades weren't the best during undergrad but low and behold the first line read: "Thank you for your application. I am pleased to announce that you have been unconditionally admitted...."I actually dropped the letter and cried.... What I did after? I told my mother and best friend and got back to chatting...

A lot of these stories hit home for me. I am glad someone came up with this thread.

My program actually starts on the 30th so I am actually ready to move back.

It sounds like you are a good candidate.

Terrible thing to say: It's okay. It's not like you had the money to go there anyway."
