Hi,
I've applied to 6 PhD programs (all but 1 are University of California), and since the waiting is stressing me out, I'm hoping you guys can let me know what you think my chances are :/
I applied for Social psych mostly, but applied for evolutionary psych at UCSB (my top choice).
GRE scores:
Q: 700
V: 720
A: 4.0 (don't know how that happened, have never gotten below an A on a paper in my life :-/. Okay, maybe the occasional B.. )
I've already been rejected by UCSD..
GPA: 3.72
Major GPA: 3.81
Went to UCD for undergrad.
Research experience is scattered:
8 months as an RA at a child abuse/parent child interaction therapy training center, entering data, reviewing case files, coding clinical interviews and training sessions, etc.
2.5 years as student assistant at gov't mental health agency, did some research with a psychologist (one of my recommenders) on mental health program trends, and did a quality improvement survey and report (published).
6 months as an RA in a cognitive psychology lab, entering data, etc. Lead professor wrote me a letter, really liked me - i attended all the lab meetings, got her advice on grad school, etc.
Well.. whaddya think?
