Education & Reference - 4 August 2007

I'm wondering how hard it is to get into Ivy League or other top tier universities, such as Stanford, Berkeley, Duke, etc. for graduate school. It would be in psychology or a related field. Now I know it depends on the program and I need to do well in my undergraduate and get research experience and all that, but I want to hear from anyone who has, or knows anyone who has, gone into grad school at a top university, coming from a 'not so prestigious' university. The real "ins and outs" of the whole thing, not just admissions data. Thanks.

I currently am a junior at a small university in East Texas. I have a few research oriented courses under my belt and plan on attending either UNT, UT Arlington, or an Ivy League for my doctoral studies.

My question is, are areas such as career/personality or entrepreneurship viable topics for a professor of business? For my short college career, I've been really interesting in the individual and career selection and start up businesses/private businesses.

Organizational Behavior is a tertiary topic I also would like to dabble in. I've read various journals and abstracts on topics in Finance, Accounting, Economics, and Marketing, and they really bore me. I just don't have an interest in those fields. Another field that bores me is Operations Management.

Is there any hope to find something interesting with the topics I have listed above?

I'm starting college in a couple weeks, and I've gone over every "what to bring" list I can find, and I think I've got everything I need, but my question is: what's something that you never heard that you needed to bring but definitely came in handy in college?

Retailers often sell "overruns" at lower prices. What are "overruns"?? Clothes that have imperfections?
