PsychGirl1 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 I applied to 4 Masters Psych Programs for Fall 2011 (Drexel, Boston Univ, Boston College and Villanova). Has anyone else applied to any?? If so, how are the applications going for you? Have you heard from any professors or schools yet?
PsychGirl1 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Posted February 8, 2011 I applied to 4 Masters Psych Programs for Fall 2011 (Drexel, Boston Univ, Boston College and Villanova). Has anyone else applied to any?? If so, how are the applications going for you? Have you heard from any professors or schools yet? I'm also super worried about my chances :-). If anyone has had experience applying to these programs before, let me know what the outcome was and your background. I hope I can get in somewhere and get adequate funding!
PsychGirl1 Posted February 9, 2011 Author Posted February 9, 2011 I cheated the system a little bit. Some of the programs I applied to I would be considered an "Ok" Ph.D. applicant, probably get my application looked at decently and not thrown out. However, as an M.A. student my numbers and research background were really solid. I was banking on rejections with some potential M.A. offers with good funding since it is notoriously hard to get funding when applying just as an MA student. So far in 2 interviews I have been told not to be surprised if I get an M.A. offer with funding instead of the Ph.D. because sometimes that happens. I did that a bit too... well, I think my background in Psychology could be stronger but everything else looks good on paper. Where did you apply, if you don't mind me asking? And I'm assuming you applied back in November? I hate waiting!!
