ILuvPsych2013 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Hi everyone! I know we are a little ways out, but I wanted to get this started. Where are my I/O applicants for the Fall 2013 cycle? I have really enjoyed watching 2012 applicants' experiences, camaraderie, highs, and lows unfold. Since we are applying this fall and are needing to start thinking about things like our schools of interest, GREs, letters of recommendation, etc., I would love to hear from you!

ILuvPsych2013 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 I will start it out... I am a senior psychology major from a midwest state university. I have been busy researching schools/POIs, studying for the subject GRE, building relationships with my mentors, and working on various research projects. Here are my stats: 3.8 overall GPA, 4.0 psych GPA McNair Scholars Program Tau Sigma Honor Society Secretary, Psi Chi Regents Scholar Fellowship Honors Program/Senior Thesis Upon applying, I should have 3 independent research projects completed, 5 conference presentations, and (hopefully) one publication. I have been excitedly looking at programs and as of now my plans are to apply to: Claremont Graduate UniversityTeachers College (Columbia)DePaul UniversityGeorge MasonGeorge WashingtonOld DominionUniversity of Central FloridaUniversity of MarylandPortland StateMichigan StateNorth Carolina StateUniversity of Georgia Scheduled to take the subject GRE in April, so trying to hone in on that What's everyone else up to?

ILuvPsych2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 I put this in the results search, but I did receive a rejection from Michigan State. Hopefully acceptances will be coming soon for others at MSU! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll just delete my post and everyone can just post here. Â P.S., who was your POI at MSU? I wouldn't be too worried about not getting in. It looks like you have a pretty good background so I'm sure you'll get in somewhere. Were your research projects in an I/O lab or for some other discipline?

IOPsych3927 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Thanks IOPsych! I knew it was a stretch, so I'm not overly torn up about it :-)  Good- don't be! I've heard the weirdest stories from other grad students- like one student who got waitlisted, then rejected from a "not-so-good" program but also got accepted into like 4 of the US News & World Report "Top 5" programs. Sometimes weird, random things go into who gets accepted, and who doesn't. With a tough-as-nails program like MSU, it's even more of a mystery (in my opinion).  Bottom line: I second roebuck. I'm sure you'll get into another great program.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the encouragement :-) My university doesn't have an I/O program, so unfortunately I did not work in an I/O lab. I actually worked in a social psych lab and just tried to put an I/O spin on everything. Hopefully that works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roebuck1 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Roebuck, can I ask who your POIs are at George Mason, DePaul, Wayne State, and Portland State? Â Dr. Ryan is one of the most amazing people you will ever meet. I am in the process of writing a manuscript with her on some research we did on stigma management in the workplace. Â For my personal statements, I took the approach of naming 2 professors at each school that I would like to work with (First person would be my POI for each school)... George Mason: Dr. Stephen Zaccaro and Dr. Eden King DePaul: Dr. Annette Towler and Dr. Alice Stuhlmacher Wayne State: Dr. Marcus Dickson and Dr. Boris Baltes Portland State: Dr. Donald Truxillo and Dr. Liu-Qin Yang How about you?

What exactly are your research interests? That would be something else to find out from everyone, research interests.  Mine are leadership, culture, and motivation.

ILuvPsych2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 My primary research interests have to do with stigma and discrimination in the workplace and gender issues.

You probably know most of these people, but someone asked me about this the other day and I gave them this list of some of the big names in stigma/discrimination: Ann Marie Ryan, Erving Goffman, Mikki Hebl, Alice Eagly, Madeliene Heilman, Rebecca Meisenbach, and Eden King (to name a few) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
