Hello all,
I am about to earn my BA in Psychology through Arizona State's online program. I have awesome grades and strong GRE scores, have worked hard to cultivate relationships with professors for letters of rec, and have some research experience gained locally.
I know that online degrees are becoming more and more common, but I seriously doubt that many doctoral programs are used to admitting students from them. My question is, how much do I discuss this in my SOP? I don't want to completely neglect mentioning it, as that seems shady somehow, but I worry that I will be seen as less of a true "successful student" or whatever because of it..
Does anyone have any thoughts or advice about this?
Thank you!
Hope
