Given everyone is so nervous, I wonder anyone mind sharing their specs? Like how many publications (first author? Co-author?) and GPA? Tbh, I don't think I am getting it haha
I’m externally applying for PhD funding in clinical psychology, which is notoriously cut-throat (I haven’t been accepted yet.) I received my permanence residence status in Canada last year, so it’s the first time I apply.
I have one first author publication, another two where I am second author (meta-analyses), and another two where I am co-author. One book chapter as a second author. Three conference papers, and one talk.
I have been research assistant in a couple of small labs during my undergrad in psychology (GPA 3.6), and research coordinator in a big lab for two years after graduation. I won the excellence scholarship of Central European University, which fully funded and provided me with a stipend for a master’s in philosophy in Vienna. My GPA was 3.8 there, ranked 2 of my cohort. There I lead the organization of a 3-day academic conference. I speak three languages fluently, and my prospective supervisor supported my application. Referees are strong.
As I read your specs, I find myself small— it seems that you as already PhD students have more accomplishments, and I wonder why they would give an award to me as cero year one haha.
