<td width="464" rowspan="2" valign="top"> <font size="3" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b><font size="2">Hi!
You have probably found this web page because you are planning on applying
to a Ph.D. program in Psychology. I remember when I applied to graduate
schools, and it can feel overwhelming -- writing the personal statement,
contacting schools and potential advisors, getting letters of recommendation,
and ordering all the transcripts and GREs. Yikes!</font></b></font> <h4><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well,
now I'm on the other end of it. I served as the Chair of Graduate Admissions
for the Psychology Department at the University of California at Riverside
for eight years. I've read through hundreds of applications to our Ph.D.
programs, and there are some clear regularities that are present in the
credentials of successful applicants. Since trying to find out all of
this information can be challenging, we have developed the PsychGrad Portal
to help you.</font></h4>
<h4><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>We have
found many useful sources of information for the various tasks involved
in applying to graduate school. What this site contains are links to important
resources that have been developed by others and links to books that I
personally feel will be useful to you. We prepared this webguide to address
many of the common questions that I have been asked by prospective graduate
students. Our goal is to present the most informative and complete content
sources -- not to have an exhaustive list. I hope you find this site helpful.
If you are interested in applying to the Ph.D. program here at the University
of California, Riverside, please consult the <a
href="http://www.psych.ucr.edu">UCR Psychology Department web page.</a> I wish
I could answer all your questions; however, I need to limit my personal
advice to prospective students who are considering applying to our department.<br>
<br>
Although we have considerable information on this site, my advice is that
you should consult the following books. First, get a copy of the <a
href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=1557986606/hypertexguidetorA/">APA's
Graduate Study in Psychology</a>. It lists all programs and requirements,
and it provides a starting point for considering which schools to apply
to. There is a directory in this book that categorizes programs by specialty
area which should save you a ton of work! [<a href="http://www.psychgrad.org/apply.html#programs">click
here</a> for psychgrad.org's categorized listing!]. Of course, you should
also get the advice of your academic advisor at your institution. The
other two books provide substantial guidance on the actual application
process and what graduate programs look for. Both are excellent. However,
in general, I recommend Dr. Patricia Keith-Spiegel's <a
href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0805831215/hypertexguidetorA/">The
Complete Guide to Graduate School Admission.</a> It has rich detail about
more facets of the application process than the <a
href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=1557982198/hypertexguidetorA/">Getting
In</a> book. These books will be an excellent investment for you. I've
discovered that students who consult these guides tend to produce better
graduate school applications. </b></font> </h4>
<h4><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">We feel
good about the content we have compiled about applying to graduate school.
However, we plan to take a developmental perspective with this information
Portal. We are in the process of building the other three sections that
involve student growth called Doing Well as an Undergraduate, Doing Well
in Graduate School, and Life After Graduate School.</font></h4>
<h4><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Many people
have helped with the PsychGrad Portal Project -- the <a href="aboutus.html">About
Us</a> page will tell you who! The Portal is a work in progress. If, in
your web travels, you find links that you think we should have here or
have other ideas, <a href="mailto:links@psychgrad.org">please let us know!
</a></font></h4>
<h4><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">My best
wishes to you, and the best of luck in finding the right graduate school
home for you!</font></h4>
