Hi all!  First of all, for those of you who've gotten acceptances, congratulations!  That's quite an accomplishment.  And for those who are still waiting:  take comfort in the fact that there's alot of us in the same boat, and we'll eventually get where we need to be

I agree with a previous poster that gaining research experience is far superior to taking grad courses in the eyes of adcoms.

For paid lab positions, do a search on your preferred university's web site for "[subfield] psychology lab manager". Or, if you're able to travel over the summer, certain programs offer paid summer research internships. These can be a terrific way of gaining substantial research experience in the labs of well known professors who will usually write you a LOR at the end of the experience. If you'd consider this option, act quickly; a lot of the summer research applications have already passed but I'm sure there are others out there. GL!
