Different graduate schools have different specialties. If you are interested in neurobiology there is an entirely different set of schools than if you are interested in therapy or memory research, or cognitive philosophy, or child psych, or whatever.i'm not saying your shouldn't think about where you might want to go some time in the future but slow down a bit! take it one step at a time. you need to get to know your professors. they will be able to better judge your strengths and will guide your interests. their letters of recommendation will mean more to their close collegues, so depending on who teaches you, you will have a better chance getting in some places than others. you gotta romance the girl a bit before you get to jump to the conclusion of the story. don't jump the gun and daydream about where you may or may not want to go without first systematically exploring your options over the next few years. it is fine to have as an eventual goal but if you don't look where you are walking because you head is in the clouds you'll likely trip and fall.if you want to get into grad school this is the best advice anyone can give you: do well in your classes. get to know your professors. ask them which classes you should take. ask them for summer research opportunities. get involved in psychology student organizations and other student organizations that are involved with the community. make sure your foundation is built of brick and not air.edit: the good news is that as a freshman you still have all the possibilities in the world to set yourself up with a good porfolio for grad school apps</blockquote>
