Applying to NYU Psychology PhD

[u/eponymous]

All,

 

I am looking to apply for the Cognition and Perception (C&P) program at NYU for next fall. I am applying to 8+ schools, but NYU is hands down my number 1. 

 

Being from the south, I do not have alot of exposure to the odds and ends of this program, school, and expectations. I also would like a rough eval of my profile considering the department. I take the GRE this Saturday, and I've been consistently scoring 158V and 153-156 Quant. My psych gpa is a 4.0, and I will have 2 publications submitted, what will will be 4 semesters of lab experience, and unlimited passion for this school and what the researchers are doing there. 

 

Anyone care to size my chances up fairly? Are there professors I should/must get to know to help them catch a name among the deck of apps? I am looking to acquire a Quant minor while in the program as well, so anyone with a similar background, please let me know what you do and your career path!

 

Thanks!
