Hello,

This is my first time posting a thread on here, so I'm not sure if I'm doing this right. I am in need of some advice.

I am currently a 4th year undergrad student at UChicago and have a 3.1 cumulative GPA (3.4 Psychology)
I have not taken my GRE yet, but intend to do so next summer, to apply next Fall for graduate programs in clinical psychology.
I have worked in Psychology labs for about 5 years now, but have no publications or presentations (hoping to have a couple done by the end of this academic year).
My primary research interest is suicide/self-injurious behaviors.

My question is--where to go from here? I know I want to end up in a Clinical Psych Ph.D program, but that is certainly a long shot right now, mostly because of my low GPA. Is there anyone here who could possibly recommend any Clinical Psych MA programs with faculty with similar research interests?

Absolutely any help would be deeply appreciated.

What was your research work in those labs like? How many labs and how long were you in each lab? Five years is kind of a long time to be doing research without having some kind of productivity, unless you were not in each lab very long, which would give rise to other questions.

An experimental or clinical master's program with a thesis would probably be your best bet, both for research and making up for your GPA.
