Hello, I'm applying to clinical psych PhD programs for the fall of 2012. I'm looking at BU, Temple, the joint program at UC San Diego/SDSU, and the University of British Columbia, among others. Here's my background:
Overall GPA: 3.56
Last 2 years GPA: 3.79
Psych GPA: 3.85
GRE: 1520 (740v, 780q)
By the time I apply, I will have 2 years experience as a research coordinator in one lab, and 6 months experience as an RA in another. Both of these positions are under pretty legit PIs.
I do not have a psych undergrad degree. My BA is in film, but I took some post-bacc psych courses (two intro, two stats, research methods, psychopathology, counseling).
What are my chances?
Has your research experience been full time? Have you done anything independent in the research? Are your letter writers well connected?
