Analyticchic Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Hey Everyone,Although I am also applying to clinical psych and MA programs, I'm really set on entering a phd cog program. Just wondering if there are any others like me? Also, how did everyone narrow down their interests when writing the personal statement essays?

Gvh Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) Hey there! I am applying to cog neuro labs (neuroimaging) so I end up applying to the cognitive psychology "sub-discipline"s for the most part Going for PhD programs only. Would love to hear from others as well Edited October 25, 2015 by Gvh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommySotomayor Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I'm also applying to programs in cognitive neuroscience. My specific interests were partly informed by research I did in an undergraduate research course on cognition, and also by reading some potential mentors' research articles.

Same with mine but I'm really stuck between emotion/cognitive development in children and cognitive development/aging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you feel like you enjoy both equally, you probably won't go wrong with either. Personally, I want to study the interaction between emotion and cognitive processes, maybe with a focus on people with mood disorders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gvh Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Nice, my background is in development and educational psych so some of the labs I'm applying to have a developmental and/or lifespan angle with a focus on memory and learning. I'm so anxious for all my apps to be in already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
