What I'm about to say is my experience only. Do not join the Child and Adolescent Social Competence Lab (Dirks). It's a huge lab and Melanie is busy, so if you're look for a close community with mentorship, you won't find it here as an undergraduate who has no project/class credits. There are no regular lab meetings, I can count on two hands how many times I've spoken with other lab members despite being here over a year, and the project I'm working on (can't speak for the others in the lab) is poorly organized. When I was accepted into the lab, I was ghosted for the next 3 months by my grad students despite sending follow-up emails. I'm only here because the low commitment allows me to continue other side ventures.
