Hello,
I was just curious if anyone would know how to strengthen my chances at getting into a clinical PhD program. I am preparing to apply this Fall and would like to get in now if I can. I don't want to take any more time off. I will likely apply to counseling psychology PhD programs as well.
I graduated from Kent State University (May 2016) with a B.S. in psychology.
Undergrad GPA: 3.85
Psych GPA: 3.9
I worked in a child attachment lab my sophmore/junior year and another lab my junior/senior year.
I completed an honors thesis and also made a poster, which I won an award for at our undergraduate research day.
My senior year I also worked fulltime at a neurofeedback facility which gave me significant clinical experince. I also had crisis line training in my undergrad.
Currenly, I'm in Pittsburgh working as research specialist. I am an author on a book chapter, 2 publications coming out soon, as well as a couple more posters.
My only concern now is my GRE scores which are less than stellar (I did not prepare/study well). I'm taking it again this month hoping I can bump up my score but I've never been good at testing. I'm likely going to retake it again this summer.
Any suggestions on what to do next? I really don't want the GRE to hold me back.
Thank you,
J
