My biggest hurdle was getting up the nerve to ask my academic advisor and three other professors if they would provide me letters of recommendation for the Ph.D. program. I was pleasantly surprised that they were all really nice about it and said right away they would be happy to. The University sent me a "Congratulations, You have been accepted" letter, and I am happy, happy, happy. :)

Thank you for this video! I decided to accept the offer I got and told my advisor this morning! I am definitely on the fourth step of reflection!

After reading the handbook, I also recommend asking your department's grad advisor about any elements of the handbook that might not be up to date. For example, with my first comp exam, I followed the handbook and made three paper copies of it and got one signed by my advisor. Went to turn them in. Found out only a digital copy is needed.

Could you please make a video on how to reach out the professors for postdoc position and things to be cautious of while applying?

[@BecomingDrBaker]

Hi there! Thank you for checking out my channel! Unfortunately I am not qualified to do this but perhaps I could bring on a guest :)

[@ManikaLamba]

I got accepted into a PhD program. However, I've only received the decision letter which I just accepted. Is there supposed to be any form of letter regarding scholarships attached to the decision letter?

How do you get into research labs from another school? I eventually want to get a PhD in psychology but I’m in the MSW program at Columbia this fall. I want to work in a psych lab but it looks like they only want psych students. I’ve looked up all the labs at teachers college for psych and I’m getting discouraged 🥴

[@BecomingDrBaker]

Hi there- it's definitely possible to volunteer in labs from other schools at Columbia or other universities either. They definitely do not just want psych students! I also assist in the school of social work. The best way is to email the lab director or coordinator directly with your CV and express your interest!

@@BecomingDrBaker thank you so much!! You’ve been such a big help and I’m very appreciative for you!
