randompsychologist Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) Hi all! I'm so embarrassed to ask, because I felt like my application was sloppy and haphazardly put together. (I have this bizzare fantasy of someone lauging in my face because my application was so horrible). But, I know that I really should (and really want to) ask so that I have a better idea of what I'm going to do to make myself a better candidate for the next time I apply. Any suggestions? Have you done this before? Edited January 21, 2014 by randompsychologist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa44201 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I wouldn't ask an AdComm, but perhaps your POI. Also, evaluate it yourself - critically, but non-judgmentally: Competitive GPA? GREs? SOP? LORs? Research experience? Research fit? Not limiting yourself geographically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randompsychologist Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Thanks so much! ... I'm actually thinking for me it was SOP, research fit, LORs (not best fit), and maybe research experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa44201 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I understand/sympathize. For me it was SOP and research experience. I got into a Masters program (research experience), re-wrote my SOP, and was accepted to a PhD program after that. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
