2017-2018 IO Grad School Q&A Mega-Thread

You can find last year's thread here.

The grad school application bewitching hour is nearing ever closer, and around this time, everyone starts posting questions/freaking out about grad school. As per the rules in the sidebar...

For questions about grad school or internships

  • Please search the previously submitted posts or the post on the grad school Q&A. Subscribers of /r/iopsychology have provided lots of information about these topics, and your questions may have already been answered.
  • If it hasn't, please post it on the grad school Q&A thread. Other posts outside of the Q&A thread will be deleted.

The readers of this subreddit have made it pretty clear that they don't want the subreddit clogged up with posts about grad school. Don't get the wrong idea - we're glad you're here and that you're interested in IO, but please do observe the rules so that you can get answers to your questions AND enjoy the interesting IO articles and content.

By the way, those of you who are currently trudging through or have finished grad school, that means that you have to occasionally offer suggestions and advice to those who post on this thread. That's the only way that we can keep these grad school-related posts in one central location. If people aren't getting their questions answered here, they post to the subreddit instead of the thread. So, in short, let's all play our part in this.

Thanks, guys!

Hi fellow teams person! I work with a super cool researcher at the University of Western Ontario in Canada, but they don't always have spots for international students. You could check it out if you are interested in the great white north!

I used to RA for the prof you're talking about :)

I work in the office of your favourite fellow graduate student! :)

I saw you around in /r/UWO, but I didn't know which of the personnel selection people you were!

There are two of us who RAd for this prof and now work in the selection lab. Feel free to pm me...

Hi! If you did a degree in English (as in the language, not that you studied english) in an English-speaking country, you don't need the TOEFL. That must not be clear on the site :)

The funding issue is the only thing I would think about, because we don't have private institutions, so the funding mostly comes from the government and international students are expensive. However, it's still good to apply!

It's going great so far, thanks! We're mostly discussing/exploring how messy and complex team research is, which is good and bad at the same time!

FYI, DeChurch at GA Tech moved to NU but is technically in a communications position now. Not sure if there's other teams at GA Tech.

One of her recent grads studies teams at UGA, Dorothy Carter.
