Do I have a chance or how can I improve?

Hi all,

I have a B.A in neuroscience. When I was in college, I didnt really know what I was interested in specifically within the field of neuroscience until the last semester on campus. I got interested in child development, like how the early childhood experience shapes brain development in children and how that impacts them even after becoming adults. So, I have worked with children as an RBT (working with children on the spectrum) for a few months, and I am now working as a neuropsychology tech (kinda similar to a psychometrist). I am also a volunteer research assistant for an organisation where I read and summarize research studies focusing on child brain development. I am really interested in becoming a neuropsychologist working with children. So, my question is, do I still have a chance with these experiences, and how can I make myself a competitive applicant? Please. I wanna apply next year and hopefully start in 2027

GPA? I’d say you need about 3-4 semesters of research experience when you apply. Will you have that? Do you have three strong letters of recommendation from psychologists?

Ever considered the BCBA pipeline? Could check out school psych, too.

What is your GPA? That is the most important factor. How about your GRE scores?
