      I liked, "Never received my owl. Maybe it's because I'm a Muggle?" I laughed and laughed. What a great allegory for this process.

      Ask when you visit. For now, assume 49% and just do your best. Basketball teams down 1 at halftime end up winning more than 50% of the time, presumably because perceiving a slight but surmountable disadvantage improves performance.

      Thank u quantlizlemon, i mean they paid for a room and evrything an also a POI mentioned that this was less of an interview and more of a meet and greet so i think sounds pretty good, its my number choice so I'm excited but at the same time a nervous wreck haha

      Thank you gingerbreadlatte, yeah I'm approaching the situation carefully, doing the best I can to keep my mind interview sharp

  7. Ahhh, application season...the time of the year where thousands of intellectuals submit applications into the unforgiving portal of the internet, only to wait for what feels like an eternity, often culminating in the desperate need for inebriation. yup, definitely been there, and only recently have I gotten a little relief. I'll drink a beer this beer in honor of our mutual frustrations, cheers friends
  8. recently had a skype interview and have since been invited to the Virginia Tech campus, so excited!!

      I think, for me, "concerned" is a more accurate term.. but, yeah.

    3. jmbrown88

      jmbrown88

      i agree, "concerned" is a much better word, but i'm quite ready for this month to go by

  11. my research is getting published in the AJUR!!

  12. wish everyone safe during the hurricane!

  13. in correspondence with POI's, feeling like on I'm on the cusp of success

  14. waiting to hear back from some undergrad journals

  15. feeling confident, looking forward to March

  16. statement of purpose in the bag, lets see if I can publish my research!

  17. working on my statement of purpose, lets hope my words abet my chance of a more prosperous future

  18. From what I've gathered, the psych GRE isn't really that important. It's pretty much just there for psych grad hopefuls who didn't major in psych but need to prove that their knowledgeable in psychology. I'd just focus on the GRE; furthermore, Magoosh and Nova's Math are exceptionally helpful resources. Hope any of what I just said helped.
  19. I'm in the process of finishing all ten of my apps. Not too worried about contacting poi's or anything, except to find out if there still taking applicants thats about it. I'll probably submit everything by early to mid October.
  20. I think you def. got a chance, just get those letters of recommendation and you'll be good to go!
  21. With scores like those, I'd go ahead and take it to get it out of the way.
  22. Your GRE scores are very good. If your GPA is up to par as well you'll be fine.
  23. It's strange, even though I encountered a similar grade inflation, my practice test scores were nearly dead on with how I scored on the actual test.
