Anyone know of any Psych MA/MS programs in Ohio? I know about:

Cleveland State
U of Dayton (General or Clinical)
Xavier (General Experimental)

I'm shooting for getting a MA/MS, followed by PhD in Clinical, but I really want to stay in Ohio/Michigan/Indiana area, preferrably. Potential to expand to Massachusetts, but I don't know of any MA/MS there specifically either, if you might know those! I think I'm looking at "research", "experimental", "clinical", and potentially "general" mostly.

OR, if my criteria are too limiting, any excellent schools would be appreciated (I've been reading through the old threads so I feel like I have general ideas on where might be good, but I'm not sure if things have changed at all).

Thanks!

Why are you wanting to break up the MA and Ph.D.?

I wouldn't say that I WANT to break them up. I had a 3.21 overall GPA but tons of research experience (multiple labs, undergrad thesis that's hopefully being published, research internship) and I work in a clinical setting (but I've read that's not one of the top criteria). I don't take my GRE for another two weeks, but my practice tests had me around a 650 Quant, 570 Verbal (before I started studying; I realize the scoring changed, but I know they still give estimates based on the old scoring). I did well in my Psych major (almost all A's or B's) but my GPA was still a 3.32, & I have blemishes on my transcripts from one exceptionally bad semester.

So really, I have the impression applying to PhD programs would be a waste of my application fee, given areas of mediocrity & the competitiveness of the programs.

No doubt you'd be on the low end of the GPA spectrum for ph.d applicants...but a 3.3 is not going to be an automatic exclusion at most programs. You would need high GREs, good research, and an excellent mentor fit though to be appealing though.
