I would keep it brief and mention something in particular you found helpful or interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EileanDonan Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Relevant to the recent discussion on joining labs - if the only research projects I could join were non-paid at my alma mater, would this experience look less "official" or worthwhile to admissions folks as opposed to experience gained through a paid assistant position? Advice appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yay for a backup plan! Congrats! How are you handling potentially starting a PhD program along with having the offer? Does the lab know that it's contingent on you not getting accepted to a program?

So everyone knows I’ll either work there for 8 months then head off to school, or stay and do a masters at my local uni! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that this is my first application season I have also realized that I have no idea how to respond to one of these emails. Luckily I’m meeting with my lab’s Post-Doc today to talk about the interview process so hopefully she can help me out a bit. LindsPhD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just responded thanking them for the opportunity to interview and confirming that I will attend. My POI was on the email also so I responded to her suggestion to contact other members of the lab and stated that I was looking forward to learning more about the program and meeting faculty on interview day. Just be gracious and courteous I doubt they have time to nitpick exactly what you say as a response ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't apply there, but it's safe to say when the DCT/Program coordinator sends out mass e-mails, they've completed their review for initial in-person invites. Sorry, this whole process f*^&cking sucks. I've been there before! PsychGal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h20lily Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I haven't sifted through 33 pages of entries, but are there any other Community Psychology PhD candidates out there? It's such a small field, but I'd love to meet up with others who are applying. I have submitted apps to: UIC, DePaul, Hawaii, NCSU, GWU, U Mich, Cincinnati, UCSC, Portland, Miami, Alaska and a few social psych programs where my POI was interested in the same areas of research. Plus UMass Psych of Peace. I have held it together until now, finals week. I am taking 16 units and I cannot focus on anything but my app status. Basic Stats: 3.89 GPA GRE Mid-150s 5-written 6 months in a qual lab on interpersonal violence Presenting my own research on disproportionality in special education this spring 2 years experience in community organizing and grass roots community training, including co-founding my own action group that now has 200 members Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
