Hi Everyone New to the thread and happy I found it.
For my peace of mind I want to basically spell out my resume and see if anyone could give me honest brutal feedback on my chances. So if you don't feel like reading another post like this, please skip ahead!
GPA: 3.5 | GRE Verbal: 150, Quant: 145, Writing: 4.5
On the numbers side, I'll admit I'm average (maybe even below average). But I think I make up for it a lot considering my extracurriculars:
Research experience: school psych research lab, neuropsychology lab, community-based research during a study abroad experience
*However, only one poster presentation and 2 pending for the NASP annual conference
Practical experience: art therapy, behavioral health services volunteer, grief counseling, Jumpstart (reading/literacy program), 3 teacher's aide positions, one to one aid for children with disabilities, social skills/positive behaviors program with fellow Ed. S. students, comprehensive sex ed program with juveniles at a detention center, Big Brothers Big Sisters for 4 years, school psych mentor for undergrads
If I could include my statement I would lol, but I'll just tell you guys I worked super hard on it to compensate for my low numbers. My letters are strong.
Ed.S. programs I'm applying to: Lehigh Uni, UMass Boston, U of Cincinnati, U of Albany, Redford Uni, Cali State Uni - Long Beach, U of Delaware, and James Madison University. (SIDE NOTE: If you are applying to these schools, let me know!)
I think I applied to average-competitive schools. Also, not really interested in research (not opposed to it either), but definitely going for more behavioral programs.
Thoughts? Am I good enough? What am I lacking in? Constructive criticism, please! I'll return the favor if wanted lol. THANK YOU
