Okay, so let’s talk about what I did with CWU Psychology. It wasn’t exactly smooth sailing, but hey, that’s life, right?
First things first, I hit up the CWU website. I poked around until I found the psychology department. Clicked on their page, and I started browsing through the program offerings. They’ve got a bunch of different ones, from clinical to experimental, the whole nine yards.
Next, I dug into the requirements for each program. You know, checking out what classes they need, GPA stuff, all that jazz. I even looked up some of the professors’ pages, just to see what kind of research they were doing. Some of it was pretty cool, to be honest.
Then, I decided to focus on their undergraduate psych program. I went through their list of courses, jotting down notes about the ones that caught my eye. Intro to Psych, Research Methods, that sort of thing. I was trying to get a feel for what the whole thing would be like.
After that, I made a list of all the admission requirements. They wanted transcripts, test scores, the usual stuff. I even found out they had some specific essay prompts, so I jotted those down too. I wanted to make sure I had everything covered before I even thought about applying.
So, I gathered up all my old transcripts, which was a bit of a pain. I had to call up my old schools and get them to send everything over. Then I started brainstorming some ideas for those application essays. It took a while, but I came up with some decent drafts.
What I’ve Got
- Gathered all necessary documents, like transcripts and standardized test scores.
- Drafted personal statements according to the specific prompts.
- Made a checklist to ensure all application materials are ready.
- Identified key courses that are essential for the degree.
- Explored the research interests of the faculty to better understand the department’s focus.
Finally, I double-checked everything, made sure I wasn’t missing anything, and hit the submit button. Now it’s just a waiting game. Fingers crossed, I guess!
It was a lot of work, but I’m feeling pretty good about it. I think I did my best, and that’s all you can really ask for, right?
