Getting Organized for PhD Program Applications | Season 1, Episode 2

from The Psychology PhD Hosted by Columbia University Psychology Department

In this episode, we discuss the process of getting organized to apply to PhD programs in experimental psychology. We cover four main topics. First, how do you know when you’re ready to apply? Second, what factors might you take into consideration when choosing programs to apply to? Third, what does the timing of the application process look like at a high level? And fourth, how should you reach out to potential advisors to communicate your interest and confirm if they are accepting students in the coming application cycle?
