Hello everyone,
I am here on behalf of a friend of mine who wants to get a doctorate in psychology. He has a BA in history from a state college with a 2.6 GPA. He wants to become a psychologist but is not sure how to get there. He’s really interested in more of the assessment side than doing actual therapy but wouldn’t mind doing short term therapy. He’s also interested in the assessment of anxiety, depression and the integration of spirituality however he’s still open to other interests in clinical/counseling psychology. He’s taken a few psychology courses but is not sure if finishing the psychology degree will boost his GPA enough to apply to psychology graduate school. Should he try to finish the bachelors in psychology, apply for masters programs or just give up?
