I'll be starting my Sophmore year at UMass (Amherst) and I'm really interested in applying to grad school, specifically to a Psy.D program. However, I need a lot of help🙁
First of all, I currently have a 3.89 but I'm not in the Honors Program. The only reasons being I'm afraid my GPA will drop dramatically and I'm really not interested in research and doing a senior thesis (which is why I'm interested in getting a Psy.D as opposed to a Ph.D)
Will not being in the honors program dramatically decrease my chances of getting into grad school? Should I really just suck it up and join and hope my grades won't fall?
Also, what should I start doing to build my resume? I currently have nothing really under my belt besides my GPA and a couple honor societies. What do schools really look for and what should I start doing?
Any help would be great!! Thank you!
