PsyD Program Question

When applying to PsyD programs, do they consider just your undergraduate GPA or do they average in your grad GPA also?

Also, is it better to get clinical or research experience in these programs? Do to my BSW and MSW I have a significant amount of clinical experience, but research is null.

When I applied to psyd programs I had a lot of research experience and a little clinical experience and I think the amount of research experience I had really helped me to get admission offers....I found that most of the other applicants did not have as much research experience as I did.

But, every case is different and I think they really appreciate research experience but also appreciate clinical experience. Also, there are some PsyD programs that are more researched orientated than others. and, they would probably want some research experience.
