Really good points but can I add: :arrow: don't read this list as a whole lot of do's and donts otherwise it'll be overwhelming. Everything helps, but remember to live whilst you're doing it. If I make a list of the different things I've done over the years it looks pretty impressive, but many of th...

I know someone with very similar experience to what you describe (year assistant, year research, year abroad voluntary work - though perhaps more clinically based than yours) who got onto the course straight away (they applied whilst still abroad), but they did get three straight rejections too. At ...

I've used excel for t-tests in the past and it's matched spss. There are also online t-test calculators that might help.

Or some more caption competitions, I love those. I'd buy a mug with one of those on.

I would be most likely to buy something practical, so pens or pencils, and also you know those little keyrings you get with a coin size metal disc with a logo on it that you can remove and use in shopping trolleys, I would definitely buy one of those.

I particularly like the authors names throughout.

Honestly, once you start training you'll be busy learning all of the stuff you need to train, you've got a place on the course (well done :D) because you've proved that you're at a level appropriate to the training. So relax, breathe, spend the next few months doing all those things you've put off, ...

It just says the page doesn't exist for me...

Looking through the APA lite guide references on the page h2eau linked you to I think it should be more like one of these (taken directly from guide): National Institute of Mental Health. (2002).
