I'm about to be a MSII at a top 40 US school. Despite working hard all year I wasn't able to pull the grades I was hoping for. Throughout the year I was pretty consistently in the bottom half of the class at a P/F school. No failures though.
I know that psych is generally not considered competitive but I am interested in hopefully applying to programs in southern California (many of which are the best out there) so that I can stay close to family and friends. Do you think this is a possible feat for someone with low grades? Is there anything else I can do to make myself more competitive?
More info about me is that I'm doing research and volunteering in psych related fields. I'm pretty sure I'll get at least a poster out of the research.
Any advice is appreciated!
