Hello!
I have decided to change courses in my career and pursue Psychology (preferably Child/ Developmental Psychology). I did very poorly during my undergrad years, pursuing a degree that I ultimately was not meant for (Biology). I ended up graduating with a (disastrous) 2.65 cGPA.
I am currently an RA in the Behavioral Science department at a Cancer Institute, focusing on cancer prevention and have worked as a Data Collector for a Clinical Child Psychologist.
I plan on taking my GRE within the next 6 months to a year. At this point in time, I am not quite sure where to start this change or if it's even possible at this point.
I plan on taking pre-req undergraduate psychology courses and applying to a Human Development and Family Studies Masters program in order to prove my competency in academics.
Although I am not a fan of excuses, my GPA partially stemmed from family issues which had me driving over 500 miles every other weekend to assist with family issues at home. I am a first generation student and honestly do not know where to go from here.
Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated!
