Has anyone taken the MA Psychology Jurisprudence exam? I have the booklet that give you, but there are no practice test, so I have no idea how to begin studying for it. I get it that I have to memorize the laws, but is there an emphasis on certain chapters, do I need to know the title and...

I'm going to try to keep this as concise as possible despite having, what I feel, is a unique non-trad background (I'm sure everyone does ;)). Every year or so, I get stuck on the idea of going to med school. Near the end of HS, I dismissed the entire idea because I so strongly believed I was...

Hi everyone! I am from Brazil. I've been having a hard time to decide whether I should become a psychologist or a psychiatrist. I know that in order to practice medicine in the USA and other places abroad one has to pass through a different process, when compared to the one here in Brazil...

Hi everyone, I'm currently a freshman psych BA major (probably going to change to BS), and I changed to psych from bio because I actually have a great interest in the field. The psych classes I've taken have been the only ones that genuinely excited me and made me want to learn more. My goal...

Hey guys! Recent science major graduate with a passion for the social sciences. I took an extensive amount of psych/soc courses while in undergrad for pure enjoyment. Now, I'm realizing I may just want to make it my career. I'll be the first to admit my lack of knowledge in this area and am...

I have courses that are in the psychology department, but are purely neuroscience in content so I am classifying as BIO. What happens in the event that AMCAS reclassifies? Will they return my application and require me to resubmit? Or will they change it themselves, thereby completing the...

So I'm just looking for some input from people who know more about this process than I do. I went into college originally thinking I wanted to major in math and then go into biostatistics, but I realized after a B- that math really isn't my thing and that I really like Biology and really enjoy...

I've just been accepted into a Masters in counseling at Avila University. I'm having a big problem finding people that have graduated from this program and the adviser seems to be dancing around it. I asked her names of people who have graduated and she said she wasn't sure she could give out...

How much does major matter when applying to MD-PhD programs? I have a summer's worth of bioinformatics research, a summer of part time computational neuroscience, as well as some psychology research on genetic bases of differences in human's cognition (mainly statistical analyses of large...

I am looking for some older/rare/foreign projective and apperception assessments. I hope there are some people out there that can assist me! I am looking for a "HOLTZMAN INKBLOT TECHNIQUE, FORM A" (I would be interested in a Form B for the right price) the most! I am also looking for a...

Hi, I've seen one post about an Army ROTC student interested in psychology but I'm not sure if it answers my question. I'm actually starting ROTC late, as I have just finished my freshman year at undergraduate school and I'm currently pre-enrolled in the program to graduate as an officer in...

Currently in undergrad at a public university and recently changed my major from bio to psychology and i'm interested in being a sex psychologist (perhaps a marriage counselor/relationship therapist even). What steps do I need to take to reach this goal...i'm new to the department (I just...

Hi everyone- Hopefully you'll be able to shed light on my potential career shift. Right now I am a very experienced classical musician. I studied at the New England Conservatory for both my undergrad and masters degrees, and I've gone to the Tanglewood music center for two summers now. (If you...

Hi everyone! This thread might sound a bit redundant or even a bit mislead, but I am trying to work out my pre-reqs so I can officially declare myself pre-med, but my school is coming down hard on me to declare my major. So here's my situation. I love psychology. I'm fascinated by the way the...

Hey everyone, Longtime lurker here that made an account because I'm unsure of what to do. I'm really interested in the field of psychiatry and really want to volunteer for a crisis hotline during my undergraduate studies. I tried searching for any opportunities near my area (I go to UCSD) but I...

I'm currently in high school, but I was thinking if it was possible to take a Psychology bachelors degree in the UK and then going to Med School at US? After all the research I found that the steps taken to be a psychiatrist is longer in the UK than in the US. Although since bachelors degrees in...

I am reaching out to everyone and anyone after feeling extremely defeated. I have now taken the EPPP 4 times (yes you read that correctly) with no success. Let me start out by saying the first time I took the test was last March 2015, then August 2015, November 2015, and just today. Since last...

I apologize if this is a common topic, but I am including personal factors that will make this thread at least somewhat unique. I am currently in high school taking basic college courses as a dual enrolled student. I love learning and using computers and I plan on majoring in Information...

So, this is the first post I've ever made on SDN. I've come to the site multiple times to research pre-med questions and get answers about how to go to med school, the MCAT, ECs, etc. I'm not quite sure if I would be considered a non-traditional student, but here's why I think I might...

I am currently a psych/pre-med sophomore undergrad. I am aware that body modification is not something medical professionals recommend, however it is too late to not be concerned. I have stretched my ears to no larger than a 0g, have two small tattoos and two large--only one is visible on my...

I am a sophomore at a great school in North Carolina. I have a few questions. Do medical schools look at the difficulty of our undergraduate institutions? My school is definitely not the easiest, and I have heard many people say that. Should I forgo my pre-med classes to prevent further damage...

Hi, So as my username connotes, I'm currently an undergrad student working to eventually get my PhD in Art Therapy. Given the openness, fluidity and artistic nature of my field, I was wondering if it's okay to get an anatomical heart tattoo on my forearm. I've been so far getting a lot of mixed...
