Around Thanksgiving, I was given a temporary full-time staff position at a well-known university research lab. (See
this question.) Well, I've been officially offered a job as a proper member of the lab, tuition benefits and all. This is quite literally the best opportunity I've ever had. I'm extremely interested in the field of clinical psychology and eventually becoming some kind of therapist. Where do I go from here?

My program begins in the fall of this year and I was hoping for any tips, suggestions, do's and don'ts, or anything that you wish someone would have told you before beginning a program. The advice could be personal or professional. I'm open to anything.

I'm going to pursue a Masters/PhD in Cognitive Visual Neuroscience. I now know
how to ask for letters of recommendation - thanks - but how do I write a killer letter of intent/application essay? Alternately, what are the major mistakes/pitfalls new students make when writing such a letter? Answers need not be Psych specific.
