masters

I'm an undergrad senior about to finish my bachelor's in psychology (with an emphasis in neuroscience) and I want to eventually end up in a clinical psychology program. I've applied to three programs so far, but I don't have much research experience (I only did literature reviews) so I doubt I'm...

I am stuck and not sure which route to take. . I have applied to 5 schools this cycle, interviewed at 2 and was denied from 1. I am still waiting to hear back from the remaining. I have began to look into doing a masters program in either public health or biomedical sciences in the case that I...

Hello Everyone, Has anyone attended Touro's MSMHS-COP program before? If so, was it helpful? Where are you at now at your professional career? Pharmacy school is my ultimately goal, but I was thinking this 10 month program would give me an edge when it comes to clinical residency after pharmacy...

Hi All, I've been browsing around SDN for awhile now, and as I approach the end of my 4th year of undergraduate I have become unsure of whether I am cut out for Medical School. Long story short, I realized I wanted to go into medical school to become a psychiatrist or neurologist during my 3rd...

Hello all, I am currently a senior at the University of Illinois and I'm majoring in economics. My cGPA and sGPA are each around 3.0. I'm graduating in a few weeks and these GPA's will likely be the the same. I think that I underestimated the amount of information on the MCAT and scored a...

Hey guys, Sugar Plum here, I try to be as positive as I can be, on this site especially; but lately I realized my situations are not working for me. I am a fifth year undergraduate, hopefully graduating this year, with not a great GPA, by the time I graduate I will probably have a 3.0...

I am currently a freshman college student, and because of the amount of credits I have, I can graduate in 2.5-3 years with a double/triple major in chemistry, biology, and biochemistry. Should I do this and spend the next year getting a masters degree in chem/bio? I do not see the point of...

I was not a psychology major, and now I want to pursue a PhD or Psyd. I have thought about taking undergrad prerequisites, but I came across some MA programs that are less expensive than undergrad tuition at many schools. Would it be worth my while to get a MA in psychology? I am particularly...

I was wondering if any of you could help me with the situation I am currently in. I took the MCAT in July and scored a 499. Knowing that with a 3.01 GPA and a 499 MCAT, my chances of gaining admittance into many medical schools is low I am planning on applying to an SMP and retaking the MCAT...

Hey everyone, So I know that this topic has been covered in some form or fashion hundreds of times, but perhaps I am adding a new spin on it. I am currently a first-year student (second semester) DPT student. To get straight to the point, I am considering leaving DPT to pursue a master's in...

Hello- I am new to SDN and this is my first post, I would love any recommendations for my situation. I graduated undergrad with a veryyy low GPA, overall 3.0 and sGPA around 2.7 due to some bad things that happened to me, and depression as a result. I definitely showed an upward trend was i...

I am going into my last year of undergrad and I need advice on the best route to take after I graduate. The professors I have worked for seem to disagree on how hard it is to get into a Ph.D program that has a masters degree component. My long term goal is to become a clinical neuropsychologist...

I have read hundreds of blogs on here, including all that relate to this question. However I was hoping for more guidance. I am a biomedical engineering student starting senior year and will probably graduate w/ 3.2. I have strong EC (shadowing,research,etc). I was thinking it would be better...
