NCA Student Section?

[swazibound]

Hey all,

I'm thinking about submitting for the NCA this year (for the first time) and I'm trying to find the division that works best for me. Since I will be a first year PhD student at the time of the conference, I'm wondering if it makes sense to submit to the student section. There are other sections where my research fits pretty comfortably though. Is the student section legit? Less or more competitive? Any advice is appreciated!

I'm new to submitting as well, so not sure how helpful I can be, but I can say that, when I asked a professor his advice on where to submit, he did not mention the student section. Granted, the section he wants me to submit to is one he's on the committee for, so take that as you will.
