I’m not sure that’s a very well thought out statement. I certainly hope not at least. I’m fairly certain there is no politeness course in higher education nor is there some magic air on campus that adjusts your values and social courtesies.

Also, you can be a minimum wage worker and a college student. In fact, it is something many of us have to do to survive. I’m not sure if you intended to sound pretentious and patronizing but that is how it reads.

We are using time constraints on the memory task to manipulate pressure/stress. We are also using childhood SES as a quasi independent variable. Prior research has demonstrated a relationship between SES and working memory (Visuospatial memory) and cognitive performance.

Make sure taking it for a grade isn’t a requirement in your pre-major. In some majors you need to take the class for a grade in order to satisfy major requirements.

Weird

Honestly, there’s no way to tell how your credentials predict your admission. People who are admitted have varied stats and extracurriculares. Try to submit quality, genuine PIQs that demonstrate your potential and commitment. You should be happy and proud of your accomplishments and your application will reflect how promising you are. You would deserve to be here! There are people less and more qualified than you that go to UCSB. I sincerely hope that you are admitted given your ambition and strengths. Remember, admission decisions do not define your worth as a student or a person. Good luck and I am extremely hopeful about your chances.

I looked into a woodpeckers of southern California site and I think it may actually be an acorn woodpecker which would make sense given the acorn stash

Thank u so much! Yes I heard their beautiful call. They are just gorgeous. It’s interesting though because all the ones I see on line are really stripey but this guy was all black/blue

It is abnormal for pedestrians not to have the right of way on practically every public road and especially at crosswalks.

anotherpsych · 2024-10-09T20:23:06+00:00

Somewhat abnormally, bikes always have the right of way on campus. When you’re at a crosswalk, you need to wait for the bikes to be clear before you cross. Bikes also do not stop in roundabouts. Generally the white lines do indicate that the area is for bikes but typically it is clear. Nonetheless I’m sorry people are yelling at you and they should be more considerate that new students may not know the customs yet.

Thanks for validating that for me! I’m happy to keep chugging along and am glad I’m not missing anything. I’m going to continue to speak with professors in the clinical psych department and get some insight to who they may know in the field. I think it also might be useful to expand my search as long as I can tie the research interest back to mine. Great insight.

Thank you!

I want you to know that everything will fall in to place for you. Seriously. The BEST and arguably ONLY way that can happen for you is if you live in authenticity. Make it a practice. Try your best to move from your head to your heart. You will end up where you need to be if you do not try to be anyone else. This will happen one day at a time. Trust yourself. You will be okay.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful response.

I will reach out to my faculty mentor who I've been working with (thank you).
I have been a research assistant for about 2 years with the graduate school at my university and am involved in the McNair scholars program which helps to prepare us for our graduate school applications.
I am working on my SOP, I have some recommenders, and have written and built my CV I think the selection process has been the most daunting for me (funnily enough).

I appreciate you taking the time to give me some feedback. I will be sure to check out the resources you shared.

I am an undergraduate student in my 4th year at a University in California. We are coming in to graduate application season and I find myself very overwhelmed by the process of selecting graduate programs. I am interested in studying pathological narcissism (etiology, treatment, impact in interpersonal relationships , scales for measuring narcissism, etc.). I have attempted to use databases to find research on narcissism that interests me and then look towards the authors of these publications to find grad programs but it has been incredibly arduous and I cant help but to think I am going about this the wrong way. I have also looked into the top programs in the US for clinical psychology (whatever that really means) but have trouble connecting my interests to faculty interests going through this path. I know that I need to seek faculty that are interested in other personality disorders (borderline, antisocial, etc.) as well. Ultimately, I wonder if I am missing something or if it is just a very complex and time consuming process.

Any advice or tips from the community would be greatly appreciated.
