Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology- Developmental Science

Entry requirements for 維吉尼亞理工學院暨州立大學

Admission to the program is competitive and based on the following:
Research interests and experience
Quality of the applicant's academic record
Three letters of recommendation from former professors or supervisors
Scores on the Graduate Record Examination (verbal and quantitative)
There are no strict cutoffs for acceptable grade point averages (GPAs) or GRE scores. Rather, we review the entire application to gain a holistic picture of applicants’ verbal and quantitative skills and research experience and interests. More competitive applicants typically have GPAs above 3.2 and GRE Verbal and Quantitative scores that each are at or above the 60th percentile. However, if verbal and quantitative skills are well-demonstrated through coursework, research experiences, recommendation letters, and the personal statement, then a GPA or GRE score below this typical level would not stand in the way of the application. By far the most important factor in the application is research experience and research interests described in the personal statement. We look for a tight and clearly articulated fit between applicants’ research experience and research interests and those of one or more faculty in our department. Our most competitive applicants typically have at least 1 to 3 years of prior research experience, including conference presentations reflecting their conceptual skills at crafting, testing, and interpreting hypotheses with regard to pertinent psychological literature.
Submit referee information on the online application so that referees will be sent the link to submit their letters online following the instructions on the Graduate School web page.
On the online application, upload a scanned version of your official transcript(s) from all post-secondary schools you have attended.
For admission in Fall 2019, we expect a minimum TOEFL score of 90 (IBT) or IELTS score of 6.5 for admission. Further, TOEFL scores of 20 or greater in Listening, Writing, Speaking, and Reading subsections are required. Some departments may require higher minimum scores.
