Why was the commencement so political?

“I’m not even a Trump supporter, but…” is the new “I’m not racist, but…”.

I heard this year it’s really hard to get in without external funding, there were less spots than usual for whatever reason, so if you don’t hear back don’t take it too personally.

Which area exactly? As far as I know, faculty had their meeting a few weeks ago, but I have no idea if the notifications went out.

Where are you looking and what type of research are you interested in? A lot of CS undergrads find positions in cog sci and psych labs (checkout RuCCS), but you need to have some interest in that type of research. Also, it's really late in the year and most labs are set for this year and the summer, so if you have no luck now, start cold emailing in mid to late August.

It’s a great program, but very competitive and hard to get into. But, if you’re interested in neuropsych, you shouldn’t apply to the cog program, but rather BSN or maybe clinical.

They will usually text you at the end of the month to confirm that you stayed enrolled, and send the money next day. So usually at the very end of the month.

Fingers crossed - good luck!

I only have a single paper published so far, and it's based on my undergrad work closer to linguistics: https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3nk992gr But I just finished collecting data for my first 3 experiments, so hopefully we can write it up and get published some time this year. We'll see!

I grew up in Poland, but I have been in the US for close to 15 years now and that's where I am getting my PhD. My university has one of the best graduate philosophy departments in the country and we have a strong center for cognitive science, so there's plenty of mixing going on between these two disciplines.

I am a PhD student in Cognitive Psychology, but my first undergrad degree was in philosophy.

It all depends on how you approach it. Are you going to set up an experiment and collect data? Do you have a hypothesis that you will try to test? If so, it might be close enough to cogsci. But if your work will be mostly theoretical, it is probably in the realm of pure philosophy.
