Is it possible to enter grad school for psych from an english major?

Saturday, April 30th, 2011
shixpunk17 asked:


I have never had trouble finding something that interests me in a field of study. The problem I have is chosing one to stick with. Psychology has always been very, very interesing to me, and I know there are many career opportunities to be had after grad school. But my heart has always been with English. I love reading, writing, analyzing, and thinking critically. I’m a freshman at the University at Buffalo currently as a Psych major but I don’t think that I can pick one without the other and be truly happy. Is it possible to enter grad school for psych with a BA in English, or does it have to be psych? My ideal situation would be an English major with a minor in philosophy and some coursework in Psych and then go on to graduate school for psychology. Is this possible?

Is it weird to be in grad school yet go to keg parties?

Monday, April 25th, 2011
a ok asked:


I am going to start grad school next fall and well during undergrad I had NO social life. I worked 40 hours a week (including weekends) and went to school, so there was no time for fun. I feel like I missed out on all the wild parties and “the time of your life.” Is it weird if i try to capture some of that while enrolled in Grad school, will other grad students look down on me?

How to pay for Cornell and grad school?

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011
davidm1294 asked:


I am an upcoming freshman at SUNY Buffalo University and I am planning to transfer to Cornell during the next fall semester of 2008. It is my dream school and I really want to attend there by trying to maintain a college GPA of atleast a 3.8. Since there is a great emphasis of consideration on recent college work during transfers I am also planning to join many clubs at my current college. My high school gpa is 3.7 + 4 APs and 6 honors + 2 clubs.
SAT scores are not considered for transfer students in Cornell.
Do you think I have a good chance? If I’m also planning to go to grad school how will I manage to pay around 45k each year for Cornell and grad school? Are loans a financial burden after you graduate? Can grants and scholarships really cover most of that amount?

How do people pay for grad school in this credit crunch?

Monday, April 18th, 2011
ColdRain asked:


This student loan credit crunch concerns me as I’m starting grad school next year. How do people pay for law/medical schools that are 30 - 40,000 a year when all you can borrow from the federal government is 12 - 20? I have excellent credit, however I have quite a bit of debt from undergrad and the private loan market isn’t lending to anyone in this environment. I hope the economy recovers by next fall.

What happens if I decide to drop out of grad school after a year and get a job instead?

Sunday, April 17th, 2011
Mel asked:


I haven’t started graduate school yet, but I’m scared of what will happen when I do. Will I ever be able to go to grad school in the future if I drop out?

I’m entering a Ph.D. program this fall. I keep thinking about how I’ve been just as happy doing jobs where all I need is a bachelor’s (I have an engineering degree, so it’s not like I have to go to grad school), and I’m not sure I have the drive to conqueor these knowledge towers in front of me. I’m also upset because my boyfriend will be starting a job 800 miles away at the same time I start school. Honestly, I want to give up on grad school and just go get a job in his city, but I already signed a lease for next year.
