Application Deadlines

[dissyphus]

I'm looking to get into grad school either Fall 2015 or Spring 2016. Does anyone know of programs that are still accepting applications for any of these programs:

 

Psychology

 

Philosophy

 

Sociology

 

Cybersecurity

 

Software Engineering

 

Data Science (Machine learning)

 

Computational Neuroscience

You may wanna ask Google for help - after putting some serious thought into what it actually is you want to research.. I mean, seriously????

Instead of applying to programs because they are still taking applications, I'd highly recommend taking time to figure out what you want to research and looking for programs that will help you meet your research and career goals.

You mean you never heard of a career as a socio-psych-osopher-neuro-security-data-engineer?

out of all the fields in the world, i don't think it's unreasonable to feel passionate about 7 of them. i really don't like the idea of spending another year waiting for fall 2016 to start my graduate career, so if i can find a school that has one of these programs and is admitting for fall 2015 or spring 2016, it would make things a lot easier for me. i appreciate the help.

What's unreasonable is that you seriously think anyone can research for you regarding seven distinct disciplines.  You "appreciate the help" ? It sounds more like you expect free labor.  Do you think other people have so much free time to serve you?

 

Are you lazy or incompetent?  Why can't you research on your own for schools that have a deadline that fit your slothfulness?

 

There are hundreds of schools throughout the country/world, and thousands of different programs.  Nobody knows where you live.  So even if one chump wasted his/her time to suggest some schools for you to apply to -- are you going to automatically apply to whichever school someone finds for you?

 

Well, whichever school/program that accepts you for Fall 2015 or Spring 2016 will be very lucky to have you.

It is not unreasonable to feel passionate about different areas of research - but I wonder how much you actually know about these fields and their sub-fields and themes within those sub-fields. What have you studied, where have you worked and what else have you done to give you the skills and experience to work in one (never mind ALL) of these disciplines? 

 

I also wonder how much you know about graduate school and the actual process of working towards a PhD. A graduate research project entails years of work on a very specific, focuses, narrow (I'm sure you are getting my drift...) topic that can be interdisciplinary but not in the way you are suggesting - it's all about depths, not width.

 

Last but not least I wonder about your ability to start any research project when you seem to lack the stamina to even look for schools that may offer the courses you say you are looking for...

 

I strongly suggest you take 5 steps back and start at the beginning of the application process - figure out why you want to do a PhD, what you want to research and then go from there.
