Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm currently a Junior in an Undergrad program in NY. I double major in Psychology and Political Science. By fall 2014, my expected Psych GPA will be a 3.6 or 3.7. My expected cumulative GPA will be a high 3.4 - almost 3.5. I plan to take the GRE in August and my intention is to score very well. </p>

<p>My research experience includes abroad field work in Psychology which I received course credit, T.A. for a Psych professor and doing research with her which is expected to be presented at a conference at the end of the semester, two courses which involved creating a study in the field of social psychology, an independent study which will involve creating a study with a Psych professor at my University, and an honors thesis which I will complete my senior year.</p>

<p>I am also a member of an international psychology honors society.</p>

<p>I can guarantee great letters of recommendation from three of my Psychology professors, and one hell of a personal statement, and purpose of statement. </p>

<p>What do you think my chances are? Do you have any tips on improving my chances?</p>

<p>Thanks a lot! :)</p>

<p>Well your GPA is decent but your Field work is very impressive which shows definite experience in your major. If you get a great score on the GRE and get letters from people who really know you and can write amazing letters then you have a great shot.</p>

<p>My reply is similar to sloth83’s, but I’m not as experienced with chancing undergrad-grad school apps. </p>

<p>Based on what I know about the reputations of those schools though, you have great chances. </p>

<p>Why don’t you think of Syracuse for your Graduate studies? I have a friend there who just graduated for her masters program. Your field work is impressive, I think that will help you out.</p>
