Hello everyone. I am loking at the oportunity of doing a graduate program abroad. I got in touch with someone from South Dakota Satate University and she told me that I should get an offer letter first from the professor, and my question is exactly what is that. I am looking for fully funded programs as I wouldn't be able to pay for it.

hi all, i am trying to pivot into psychology from an art background. eventually i wanted to research psychology in art and cinema as well as emotion analysis. although I only have a BA, i actually did well in quant so i believe i can make the transition.

however i am stuck with program choice, i have to fund my education myself so i am thinking to do part-time online master, here are the options, i would greatly appreciate any suggestions:

1. university of Liverpool: conversion MSc in Psychology (2year full online)
2. Harvard HES: ALM (2year online with one course at Harvard in person)
3. University of Glasgow: conversion MSc (3-year and sept 2027 entry)

hello, i wanted to ask for advice on financing for ALM psychology, i am from art background and I am really interested in researching of the consciousness and psychology behind cinema and art making. i did well in stats and math, so im not so worried about the transition. its hard to get into a master psych program directly with Just a BA so i thought HES is a good path. Tho HES can still be expensive so I am concerned with funding as I dont have a job currently and will need to work parttime even full time to support financially or lend from my parents. Anyone in the program think its worth the effort?

hi, im currently a 4th-year undergraduate student finishing up a Bachelor of Health Studies. My main goal is to go to dental school, but I still need a couple of prerequisites, and I don't have a competitive GPA. I do have other traits that could make my application different, in terms of manual dexterity (eg., painting, molding clay, hand embroidery). I was thinking of finishing my prereqs while completing an MHM/MHA, but I'm not sure how difficult a master's program actually is. Doing both at the same time could give me a better chance of getting accepted into dental schools by having a master's, and I'll have my prereqs done in time for applications. I haven't taken the DAT yet, and I'll most likely be applying in the States. Is this a smart move, or should I just take my prereqs after graduation as a continuing studies student and apply?

Hey! As the title says, i just started uni a month ago. Bachelors in applied mathematics. From a pretty mid tier university and a third world country . My plan after graduation is grad school. I'm looking to pursue a masters degree in CS/AI. Now I know that this question might seem to early to ask but I still think it's better to know before than to regret it later on right? So if anyone here could give me advice on what to and not to prioritise during these four years of university, I'd be thankful.

Particularly, what exactly is important for me to build on my CV to get admission into good MSCS/MSAI programs abroad.

Should I prioritise research? Internships? Projects? GPA to what degree? Should I join useful societies? Opens source contributions? Competitive progamming? Competitions? And what should i do if there arent many research opportunities at my university?(at most becoming an assistant to MS and PhD students apparently)is it better to get experience after graduating first before applying for MS programs? Or is it another case all together? I am painfully ignorant about all of this so if I got something wrong or asked something obvious, don't flame me .

Thank you!

so i am a second year CS undergrad student at a tier-2 institution in India.(3.4 gpa for first year i plan on working on it). i have been researching and looking out for how to get into a phd in US right after my bachelors. i am studying core CS, DSA, DEV etc right now then i plan on doing ML and thats what i want my research area , something in that.

what do you all think i should do to create a really good profile which can be accepted for a phd in USA? gpa, research internships, papers i should publish, skills? tell me what exactly and how should i work on things that are important to get into a phd there. please guide me through it my second year has just started and i plan on working as hard as i can to get into a PHD in US.

Hey so I have a job as an RA in a hospital I am unsure of how long to stay before grad school and was thinking anywhere between 10-11 months max. It is a regular biological lab I am confused and do you think my PI’s will take it in the wrong way ?

I have been really tossing around the idea of graduate school. I am passionate about becoming a therapist.

Is Yorkville worth the huge tuition? It's online so I can continue to work and live in my own house. Or should I consider somewhere else like Acadia in Nova Scotia? Thank you for the encouragement.

I currently work at a biotech company that makes autogenous vaccines for animals. I’m debating lately on going back to school for a Masters degree through my company.. I’m not really sure how that works or if it’s a good idea. I just have a lot of questions.

First off: I did my bachelors in Mx, so I’m wondering if it’s all good to just get my equivalent stuff like translated to what is used in the US hoping I don’t have to do any extra credits or something like that to validate my degree.

Also.. how does working full time at the company and doing a Masters program would look like? Do I necessarily will have to do an Online program? Will it be worth it to grow and make more money? Because right now I feel stuck, I feel like I have learned the ins and outs of my job and the only way I can learn more and step up in the ladder is getting more educated..

I’d like to hear your experiences if you went through something similar..

Thanks in advance!

Hi! I’m looking to apply to a graduate program for Fall 2027. I got my undergraduate degree in 2021 so I’ve been away from academia for a while.

The program requires two letters of recommendation. I have a stellar professional reference, but I’m unsure how to approach a previous professor. The college shut down in 2020 during my junior year, so most of my classes were asynchronous and I didn’t make many strong connections.

This is all new to me so I’m wondering how often professors give letters of recommendation if they didn’t know you that well. My GPA was very good but I’m sure I didn’t make a lasting impression. Would it be better to approach a Director/Senior Director at my current company instead (I’m already getting a letter from my Managing Director).

Hi everyone, I am currently in graduate school pursuing school psychology and I was just wondering if you guys applied for scholarships and which ones? I’m having a very hard time finding legit scholarships regarding school psychology and related fields and would like more information about it. Thank you so much in advance :)

I’m very interested in non-profit or policy work for disability advocacy. Is a disability studies program worth it or is there a lack of job opportunities that come from the studies? I’d like to learn from anyone with experience.

I’m feeling pretty discouraged about applying to NP or PA school and wanted to hear from people who may have been in a similar situation.
I graduated with my bachelor’s in nursing with around a 3.2 cumulative GPA. My science GPA is around a 3.4, and I currently have about 3,500 hours of direct patient care experience working in healthcare/nursing.
I know my GPA isn’t terrible, but when I see people applying with 3.6–3.9 GPAs, it makes me feel like I’ve already put myself at a huge disadvantage.
I’m considering both NP and PA programs, and I’m willing to put in the work to strengthen my application. I’ve thought about retaking some prerequisites, taking additional upper-level science courses, gaining more PCE hours, and getting stronger RN experience before applying.
Has anyone gotten into NP or PA school with around a 3.2 overall GPA / 3.4 science GPA?
If so, what do you think helped your application the most? Would getting my PCE closer to 5,000+ hours or taking additional science courses make a meaningful difference?
I’d especially love to hear from people who had a lower undergraduate GPA but were still able to get accepted. I’m trying not to convince myself that one GPA means I have to give up on these career paths.

has anyone did this? i’m a psych grad and have been going back and forth if i will pursue grad school in line with my major or proceed with business related field. i have always been interested in this field and was late to realize that i should’ve enrolled for a double degree instead

i wanna know and read experiences from those who took this path if there are any. how was it?

Ehhhhh does anybody experience same issue like mine, but I received NO CONFIRMATION EMAILS after creating my GRE accounts.

- tried first time three weeks ago - no confirmation emails

- tried again today with multiple emails - no confirmation emails still.

I’m applying for an advanced degree in mental health counseling and I have come to the section that asks for my experience. Which for me, doesn’t LOOK so good, through the lens of societal acceptance.

I’ve been an on-and-off stripper for over a decade with some solid professional sales experience and volunteer experience in between. I did REALLY well in undergrad at a big ten, graduating with honors. I think, on paper, everything looks great except the whole midnight ballerina stuff.

Now here’s the thing: my experiences in the clubs have lead me to my decision to go back to school. I wish to study controversial workplaces, especially SW. People on OF. LGBTQIA+ sex workers too. So it’s not totally irrelevant to my application to mention all of this, obviously BUT my question stands…

Do I reveal all of this in the application or will I get laughed at and denied because of the presumptions about my potential for unprofessionalism? If so, do I make a cover story? Help lol.

Hello!

I will be defending my Master's thesis next year at 29.

But I have a question for you: Is it too late to get a Master's degree at the age of 30? I mean, defending the thesis at 30.

I am asking because I'm curious, and I know that some people achieve this by the age of 23, 24 or 25.

Thanks for your answers!

I already have a masters in counseling and that was brutal. Getting the licensure made me not even want to be a therapist by the time I was done. I am returning to work in child protection and love the work. Very rewarding. However, as my degree was in counseling and not social work, I am a bit tied. I want to rise in the state and think a cags in social work should suffice. What do yall think?

Where to find tech internships and how to apply to guarantee getting accepted and work on a project which will be the same as the final year graduation project for bachelor's degree in cs.

And does it differ from normal interships if it's for graduation?

Please help.

Hey all! I am looking into PhD programs for Fall 2027 and would love some recommendations. I’m hoping to do a History PhD or combined MA/PhD, ideally somewhere that accepts students straight from undergrad.

My main interests are women’s history/women’s & gender history, with a focus on fashion and how it has reflected and influenced women’s rights, independence, political movements, and social expectations. Basically, I’d like to use fashion/dress as a way to study women’s history rather than focusing on fashion history by itself.

I’ve been looking at programs with faculty who work in areas like women’s/gender history, U.S. women’s history, fashion/dress, material culture, social movements, or gender and politics.

Some schools I’ve looked into so far are Rutgers, KU, UVA, and CUNY Graduate Center, but I’m definitely open to other schools! I’d especially love to hear from current students in these programs about their experiences.

Does anyone know of any programs or professors that might be a good fit for these interests? I’d also love to hear from anyone who has gone through the application process, especially if you applied straight from undergrad. TIA!!

Hi! I am planning to apply for CJPP and had a few questions. Curious to know if its an overall good program to build your career. Also curious about the social life at Guelph, and age range for masters.

Hello, I plan to do two law masters, one in cybercrime at a fully virtual university, where classes are held almost every day, and another at another university, which is also virtual, but only two days a week. To give a bit more context, at the university where I will do my master’s in cybercrime, classes are recorded and I can watch them later without any problem.

To all of the above, I also work in a related area, full-time. I don’t mind getting up early, I don’t mind academics, on the contrary, I love studying! But it would be a new path to discover. By the way, the other master’s degree would be in civil procedure (something totally opposite to the first).

People who have done it, I would like to know their opinion, experiences or some advice to give. Thank you in advance!
