Board 8 > How hard do you think it would be to get into graduate school at UCF?

(+) Yeah! (+)

The specific program is Industrial/Organizational Psychology. I am pursuing a Masters in the field. My Gpa will most likely be around 3.5, and I will be looking for research opportunities soon. I won't be applying for about another year, but I want to know as much about graduate school as possible. I know I have to take the GRE test, but from what I hear, that is not too hard.

Has anyone here who has attended any program in graduate school have any advice? Thank you for your time.

I am not in grad school yet, but everyone I know at UCF that has applied to the grad program has gotten in. Though I don't know anyone in your major, I am pretty sure psych is the biggest major at the school so maybe it might be tough.

Is it generally hard to get a letter of recommendation or are professors usually willing to help?

If your GREs are good, you shouldn't have a problem since you also have a good GPA. And if you've gotten a good grade in their class and the prof recognizes your name, they'll likely be more than willing to give you a rec. No prof is out to hurt you unless they're a complete ***.

Just apply and be relaxed when you go for your interview. Be yourself, ask questions to the profs who interview you (don't let it be a one-sided conversation) and show enthusiasm for the program. Good luck! ^_^

You're very welcome! Been a long time since I first applied to grad school, but it's still one of the best decisions I ever made. ^_^

I have like a 2.4 gpa.

I don't know if I'll do that unless I have to. In which case I gotta make sure my connections stay strong and my scores are like f***** awesome.
