cogpsych94 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Is anyone else here waiting to hear back from cognitive programs? I applied to: Stony Brook, WUSTL, UNC Greensboro, Kent State, Iowa State, Colorado State, Washington State, U of Louisville, Boston College and UC Santa Cruz and have not heard anything.

Huginn Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 It seems not a lot of people here are interested in cognitive psychology. I applied to: UCLA, WUSTL, Brown, Princeton, Upenn, Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Berkeley, U of South Florida, Tufts, Saskatchewan (Canada), Waterloo (Canada), Edinburgh (UK), Sussex (UK). Rejection/assumed rejection: Berkeley, Illinois, Waterloo, WUSTL Accepted: Edinburgh Interviews: Brown, USF Haven't heard a word from UCLA, Princeton, Upenn, or Tufts.

JustSad Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Hi. I don't know much about the application process of European universities. So, I was wondering, are PhD programs of universities, such as Edinburgh and Sussex, funded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I was wondering, are PhD programs of universities, such as Edinburgh and Sussex, funded? I am not sure for other European universities but I can speak for UK. Short answer is no, they are not funded, but most people don't accept places unless they find funding. PhD programs are generally separate from Master's, so they are 3 years, usually with no course/teaching requirements. So just research. Many people apply for 1+3 (Master's + PhD) programs, and these are funded from research councils, which you need to be a UK/EU citizen to be eligible. Rich universities (like Sussex, Edinburgh, Manchester), can afford funding students of their own, so they generally have "international research scholarships" for international students (this covers stipend and tuition). There are also external funding opportunities, such as from trusts and charities (e.g. Marshall trust for US nationals). There are also project-based PhD opportunities, but these usually cover tuition on UK-level so you need to find another small scholarship to cover the differences in tuition. In any case, the easiest but the most competitive option is going for the university's international research scholarship. Otherwise, you may need to secure more than one scholarship.

crystalcolours Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I only applied to a few programs because of money issues, but I did apply to a few cognitive programs. University of Utah: Cognition and Neural Science PhD Lehigh University: Cognition and Language PhD I'm interviewing at Utah this weekend, and Lehigh the next.

cogpsych94 Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 So far I've received rejections from UCSC, WashU, and Boston College. Starting to get a little worried since all the other schools have been quiet too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the results section, there has been at least one acceptance in the cognitive science area. Did you have an interview there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I mailed the Grad coordinator in January and she said "The fastest way for you to find out your status would be to contact who you listed on your application to work with. Otherwise, we will start sending out letters in March, with all decisions finalized by April 15th." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevSci Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I thought everyone here would like this: Somone on Reddit estimated decision timelines based on GradCafe data. For each university and program you will find three graphs: Decision timeline as a cumulative sum of decisions (accept, reject, interview, waitlist) as a function of time between Jan 1 and May 1 for the last five years combined. Boxplots of GRE Q and GRE V for people who reported both scores. Histogram of GPAs (from 2.5 to 4.0 with 0.1 step). https://www.reddit.com/r/gradadmissions/comments/7srxxy/decision_timelines_for_particular_universities/ Brilliant!
