Hello everyone,
I'm currently in the process of preparing my application for Counseling psych programs for Fall 2019.
I'm currently in my last year of undergrad, and I have a decent amount of research experience.
As I was writing my personal statement, I realized all of my research experience guided me to narrow down my own research interest, but it does't necessarily relate to my own research interest.
For an example, I have solid research experience with experimental psychology along with some educational research background, but I am interested in family dynamics in at-risk students.
Would this be a "problem" in my personal statement when there is no direct tie between my experience and my actual interest?
Any suggestions on how I should lay this out on my personal statement??
Thank you!
