I'm going to assume that you're doing a (quantitative) social science program, not clinical ( ... )

I haven't been an RA yet, but I'm working on getting one.

I received an A in stats (for psychology) and stats lab and I'm TAing for stats this semester. I'm totally good on the stats part.

Doing a honors thesis, which is why I'm stretching things out until graduating in 2010 instead of cramming 11 classes in by Summer 09.

TAing for stats will look great! Take some more if you can, as it will certainly impress people when they look at your transcripts.

Is there a stats II class? Take it.

Are you going to be a junior, or did you just finish your junior year and are going to be a senior? IF it is the former, I highly highly HIGHLY recommend the Advanced Statistical Training in Psychology program sponsored by the APA in the summer. They take students in the summer before their senior year, and it is a nine-day intensive statistics program that goes through everything from basic hypothesis testing, Type I/Type II errors and stuff to more complex things like path analysis and ANCOVA and stuff.

I kid you not, I took Stats II when I came back from the program and I already knew the majority of the curriculum. I was doing stats tests that took everyone else 6-8 hours in three. And when I went to my current Ph.D school, they were impressed with the stats I knew (and told me that the intro stats classes I was going to take were going to be review fr me). The ASTP teacheres are AWESOME.

Best of all, it's FREE (they even paid for my airfare!)

I just became a Junior. We don't have a Stats II, which is why I'm TAing...
