  1. jmbrown88, thanks for your tips!!
  2. I decided to retake it as well.
  3. I've a score of 155 for Verbal, 153 for quantitative and 4 for analytical writing for my GRE general. I'm wondering if I need to retake the GRE or if I should just focus on my GRE psych and statement of purpose instead. Any thoughts?
  4. I'm applying to 6 different programmes, a narrowed down list after contacting some POIs. Aim to complete submission by mid Nov. I'm taking my GRE psych in 3 weeks time and retaking my GRE at the end of Oct. Working on Statement of Purpose now.
  5. Just wanted to ask if anyone on this forum knows of psychology programmes in the states that has faculty members focusing on the neurodevelopments on autism spectrum disorder. Appreciate any input!
  6. Working full time with 2 research projects and prepping for grad school application is close to impossible but like ILuvPsych2013 said, it's a marathon! And its my first time applying for grad school so props to you guys are doing it again! Good luck!
  7. I've a 153 and 155 for verbal and quantitative respectively and a 4 for analytical writing. I'm wondering if I should retake it too. Any thoughts?
  8. Hi all, I'm aiming to apply for PhD programme in developmental psychology with focus on affective science, social emotional development (in relations to inconsistent/poor parenting and socioeconomical backgrounds) for Fall 2013. I've narrowed down to 6-7 schools namely 1) UCLA (top choice) 2) Yale 3) Berkeley 4) University of Toronto 5) Stanford 6) Washington University in St. Louis 7) University of North Carolina I am aware that most of the schools in my list are in the "wishlist" category and am wondering if anyone would be aware of any other programmes that might not be as well known but provides good training and faculty in my area of interest? Many thanks to any contributions!!
  9. I'm exploring MA/ MEd as well as PhD programmes in developmental psychology for Fall 2013 and have listed down a couple of schools that fits my research interest. Was wondering if anyone would know about the credentials of Chicago School of Professional Psychology Masters Programme?
  10. I agree with disillusioned14. I found my interest in psych research (particularly developmental psychology using brain imaging techniques) through my field of practice in occupational therapy where I worked with a specific population of special needs children. Perhaps exploring more about psychology research papers or attending conferences or talks would help you to determine which psych specific areas you are passionate about. Sometimes, volunteering as a psych research lab assistance or talking to some of your psych faculty members would provide you with better insight? It's best to narrow it down first.
  11. Thanks for the reply! I've taken psych modules throughou the span of my undergraduate studies (abnormal psych, health psych, human development, neuropsych just to name a few). I've yet to take my GRE (general) and have been wondering if I should take the psychology GRE subject test as well since I did not major in psychology. All of the schools that I'm looking at mentioned that psychology GRE subject test is not necessary unless I'm applying for clinical psychology (which I am not). Perhaps I should just contact that schools and check if I satisfy their entry requirement.
  12. I'm an international student from Singapore who have done professional degrees in Occupational Therapy in Singapore and Australia. Below are some info about my qualifications 1) GPA of 3.5 from my diploma in occupational therapy 2) GPA of 3.92 from my degree in occupational therapy programme. 3) 4-5 years of professional experience as a pediatrics OT in private practice and acute hospital settings. 4) I've not published any papers but have complete 2x thesis in my undergrad years. I'm currently the PI in a research project in the pediatrics hospital that I'm working in 5) I'm attending biostatistics training courses this year I intend to apply for PhD programme (for Fall 2013) in psychology (behavioural neuroscience/ developmental) examining long term mental health effects on children who were neglected, in foster care or have caregivers with mental health issues (e.g. depression). Schools that I'm looking at are 1) UCLA 2) Yale, 3) Stanford 4) UBC 5) UNC 6) UC Berkeley Are there any areas that I need to amp up on to increase my chances of getting into a graduate programme? Basically, what are my chances of getting in? Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
