Hi, everyone. I'm a psychology undergrad student at Rollins College in Florida, though I am willing to relocate to anywhere in the U.S. I'm looking for some advice about applying for APA accredited Psy.D/Ph.D. programs. I've spent a decent amount of time looking over these forums, so I understand average GRE and GPA requirements, though where I'm having difficulty is knowing how to gain research and volunteer experience in this field. Where do I start? I've been told to try volunteering at Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, though what about volunteering at mental health facilities--does anyone know how I would start that process? Please take a look at my background that I've highlighted below to give me any other pointers.
Thank you in advanced! Your help is much appreciated.
Some background:
My current GPA is 3.75. All A's except a B in Biol and a C+ in Stats. I've posted my transcript to far below. I'm at the halfway point, and I have mainly psychology classes ahead of me.
