Thank so much! I am getting my B.S. in psychology and I plan to get my masters in either clinical forensic psychology or in organisational psychology. The latter is basically HR and what I am leaning more towards now... It is more job secure and really interesting since it uses a lot of social psychology, which is whay I really want to focus on.

Good Job!!! Are you headed straight into grad school? Some great opportunities out there with funding!!!



Thank you! I'm debating whether I want to take a semester off to get myself together. I am going to study for and take the GREs in the summer most likely. I already have my grad schools picked out, so I'm going to apply in the summer or beginning of fall, see if I get in, and pack on up. I want the little time to work a little and figure it all out (grad school, which program to do) right before I go.

Keep in mind, a lot of schools prefer their incoming grad students to start in the fall and be full time (especially if you are seeking an assistantship - which you definitely should!). Aps are usually accepted into March or April. Also, many people who decided to "take time off" from school, don't ever go back. I'm not saying that you would be one of them, but people get caught up in their own lives and careers and those things do make it more difficult to go back for multiple reasons unique to each individual. Part of getting your education is exploring your options... just because you choose one area of emphasis for a grad program doesn't mean you have to stick with it - you'll most likely comp in multiple areas anyway. I was sociology comping in stats and criminal justice (or deviance, I never did decide, and now am basically ABD, short a comp - I was bored at that point and wanted a job instead). As for your GREs, I wouldn't fret those, I never had to take SATs so I had no clue what testing like that was like, but I thought the GREs were a breeze and I never really studied for them - granted, I did do a couple practice tests with some software beforehand, but that was it.
Double penatration.
