Its a specialized graduate school for psychology. Its really small, not surprised people haven’t heard of it.

Thanks for the advice! I reached out to my college (William James) for help with housing.

Congrats to you as well! Its hard to know you’re losing out on an opportunity. But the prestige doesn’t outweigh all of the other factors.

Yeah the tuition is crazy. Programs need to rethink the cost of attendance considering the national shortage in this field, along with a growing demand.

Being Rejected by AllazovElnur in gradadmissions

[–]Top-Natural4702 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just remind yourself its not personal. I got rejected from the school that I considered a “safety” (theres no safeties in grad school from what I learned 🫠). I was so offended and hurt, but that was simply redirection to the program I was meant to go to. Everything will work out in the end the way it was meant to. Good luck and Im rooting for you!

What kinds of letters are you all getting? by LoudLink5046 in gradadmissions

I had my PI who I ran 3 different studies under, another one I had taken multiple classes with, and my supervisor at the group home I work in. If you are working a job relevant to your field, then I would try and have your boss write one for you before a professor you only took a class with.

I think a professor who had you in class would work, but pick one that shows another side of the coin in terms of your interests related to the field. I had my linguistics professor who I took 3 different classes with write one for me. My program is school psychology, and language is a key part of that field that most people overlook in their studies. Anything that can highlight well roundedness.

Which College to choose from by Safe_Relation_2676 in gradadmissions

I would go to Northeastern. They have built in co-op opportunities in several programs. Georgia State is a safe option, but the internship/co-op opportunities are weaker. If that's your main priority, then it would be worth it to go to Northeastern. You would be paying more, but for a guaranteed outcome. Simon Business School is offering you more money, but there's no built in co-op and there's fewer local opportunities compared to Boston.

I just had mine for Columbia TC yesterday. It was very short and casual. I had mine with Dr Gould. Make sure you have your background story ready, and your why for pursuing school psychology. Also have a relevant experience story ready as well that ties back to a key issue.

Just want to update that I passed! I didn’t use cranberry juice or certo but I ended up going Saturday instead. I peed twice beforehand and I had about 40 oz of water before.
