Hi! I’m Andre. I’m a rising senior from Eastern Kentucky, and I will be taking a year off during the 2020-2021 academic year. During my time at Yale, I’ve studied abroad in Germany and the UK both during the summer and the semester. I’ve also worked in a few psychology and public health labs. I came to Yale a physics major who’d never taken a psychology course, but now I’m an aspiring clinical psychologist! If you need any advice about working in labs, studying abroad, or just simply academic or social advice—feel free to ask me!

Hello! I am a senior Psychology major pursuing the B.S. I had a bit of a journey finding the right major for myself, but I am so happy I found psychology! I studied abroad over the summer, and completed all of the pre-med prerequisites, although I am no longer pre-med. I am planning to complete a post-bac research fellowship, and eventually to pursue a Ph.D in Clinical Psychology. I am happy to talk about anything about Psychology or the process of finding the best major for you!

Hey y’all! I’m a senior pursuing a B.S. in Psychology. At Yale, I’ve worked in two labs researching autism at the Yale Child Study Center since my sophomore year. I spent much of my first 3 semesters trying to decide between majoring in psychology, neuroscience, cognitive science and MCDB but found that the psych major was best for me. I am planning to pursue a Ph.D in Clinical Psychology hopefully focusing on autism. I’m happy to talk about all aspects of the psychology major and trying to decide which major is the best fit for you, as well as help in finding lab positions and thinking about post-grad plans.

I would love to speak with you!

Hi, I’m Mina! I’m a senior from the New Haven area double majoring in Psychology on the neuroscience track and East Asian Studies with a focus on Japan. It definitely took me a long time to finally decide on these two areas of study, but I’m really happy with my decision. At Yale, I work in the Affect Regulation and Cognition Lab as well as the Yale Child Study Center. In the future, I hope to get a PhD in clinical psychology. If you have any questions at all about the neuroscience track, double majoring, or would just to chat, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to hear from you!

Hello! My name is Tully (They/Them). I’m a rising senior from central Florida in Davenport College. I am double majoring in theater & performance studies and psychology within the neuroscience track. I was interested in clinical psychology originally but now I am pre-med hoping to specialize in psychiatry. Last summer through the ISA I studied abroad in Italy as part of a neuroscience program through Harvard, which was an amazing opportunity.  I changed my major several time before finding psychology to be the perfect fit! So I would be happy to answer any questions about the psych major, neuro track, studying abroad, being a double major, pre-med, or anything else!
