  1. I know I probably sound really stupid. I grew up with a huge anxiety problem. I graduated last May....asked professors somehow but the deadlines passed. This year I asked again in September- pretty amazing for myself(as in overcoming my anxiety). They said yes and said I was organized and had good qualifications but then when it came to sending the links to the schools, I wanted to have everything together and kept waiting and waiting....then my anxiety was like telling me it was too late to send them (I'm stupid it seems). I then asked in February again and they said ok, but I got discouraged because I missed so many deadlines. Don't get me wrong. I've actually helped myself in getting over my anxiety (a lot), since I worked at a job, in which i talked to ppl everyday. But when it comes to applying to schools and asking the professors, it's like I become that old anxious person again. (With everything else, I pretty much as normal and carefree as anyone else. I do take school seriously though.) So, I sent them the links March 5, none of them did it....so that's that. I haven't read my e-mail since the 15, because I was frustrated. Maybe they did it for the rolling admissions. I'm not sure. I majored in psychology. I want to do human factors, but since I'm so late I want to just get my masters in psychology. Then get my PhD for human factors psyc., unless I decide I like I/O better. I wonder if it's too late to apply to such schools with rolling (I know you're supposed to do these early) or ones with late deadlines. For example, I want to apply to UTSA. I asked the professor since the deadline is July 1st(if I turned it in now, would I be okay?) He responded: "We have not yet sent out as many offers of admission as we are able. The rate we're receiving applications at is a bit higher than usual, so there is a fairly good chance we will run out of space before the official deadline. That said, if you get the application in this month the odds are very high your application will get reviewed before we're completely fulI." I had a 3.9 gpa from a good university and have been a research assistant for two different professors. I also had a temporary job as a research assistant for one other professor and my bachelor's in psyc. Schools I want to apply to: NYU (masters in general psyc, deadline is june or july i think), Catholic U. of Amer(masters in human psyc, rolling admissions), colorado state univer(masters in ergonomics/human factors, rolling admissions) and utsa (deadline in july, masters in psyc). I really don't want to have to wait another year. School is where I want to be. I know I could have probably got in one of the best schools, but I seemed to fail myself again. Any encouragement or advice would be helpful. Thank you.
