  1. I'm thinking of applying for a PhD in Social Psychology and it would be great to get some opinions on what my chances are. I did a BA (hon.) in Economics at the University of Delhi and an MSc. in Economics for Development from the University of Oxford. Neither of them calculated GPAs but I think I did reasonably well at both. A First Class in my undergrad degree and a 2:1 at Oxford. My GRE scores are: Quant:800 Verbal:660 Analytical:5.5 I've been working at the World Bank in Washington DC for the past two years as a researcher and am well versed in Quantitative methods of analysis as well as STATA. My reason for wanting to do a PhD in Social Psychology is an increasing dissatisfaction with how we study issues like poverty and poverty alleviation programs. It seems to miss a basic understanding of the people themselves and just assumes that they behave rationally. Anyway, there you have it. No background in Psychology per se, but plenty of research experience in Economics and I could bring something new to the table in terms of approaching Psychology is a different way. What are the departments that I would stand a chance with such a profile?
