Hi,

I'm trying to figure out which schools I should apply to for PhD/Master's in Research Psychology.

I previously studied in South Africa, where I got an undergraduate degree in English literature. The degree was not accepted here in the US, so I'm currently enrolled in an undergraduate degree (BA in Psychology). It looks like I'm going to graduate with a 4.0, and I've already taken the GRE, getting 1380 (780Q 610V). I have been working in a lab as a research assistant, and I've recently been given the responsibility of lead experimenter on a project that I've been assisting a grad student with.

The one possible caveat to my application is that my grades during my undergrad in South Africa (which I completed in 2005) were mediocre, and once transferred over here, they were less than desirable. I don't know how much attention admissions officers will pay to that though. Any ideas??

I would ideally like to get into a PhD (or perhaps Masters) program at the University of Boston or Washington. Will I have a chance of getting into those schools? Also, what range of schools in general should I be aiming for?

Thanks for any assistance! 😳

This is a pre-medical allopathic forum, you may want to try posting on psychology message board. Also, there is no University of Boston.
