Let it be known I definitely could’ve applied to more schools. I saw the number of schools people apply to on this thread, and my jaw dropped. The schools themselves were West Chester, Immaculata, Rutgers, and Roosevelt. But no matter the number, the rejection hurts. I’m in an emotional and mental rut as I try to figure out where I should go from here and what can I do to make myself stand out.
I have a BS in Psych w/ a GPA of 3.65
GRE is horrendous, but the schools I applied to didn’t seem to need them this year.
I had about 8 months of experience working in a children’s home during my undergrad, which fueled my need to get my PsyD so I can work with kids. From there, it’s about a year of volunteer work of helping tutor and mentor kids in lower SES.
Where do I go from here? Do I throw in the towel and try for a masters before I take that big bite or do I try again next year? And how do people generally cope? I apologize if these questions have obvious answers, I guess I don’t know as much as I want to about the system and I feel like I have tunnel vision.
