Hello everyone, My name's Katie and I am a junior psychology major at UNC Chapel Hill. I plan on applying to general psychology, school psychology and speech language pathology/communication science programs in order to become an applied behavior analyst (all are suitable degrees to obtain ABA certification). Here are my stats: - I attended an early college high school during which I completed an Associate in Arts - current overall GPA: 2.7 (including UNC coursework and community college coursework completed during high school) - I know what courses I am taking in my remaining three semesters and plan to raise my GPA to a 3.2 Here are the programs I am considering applying to: 1. M.A. in Psychology - East Carolina University 2. M.A. in Psychology - UNC Greensboro 3. M.S. in Psychology - NC State University 4. M.A. in Psychology - Wake Forest University 5. M.A. in School Psychology - East Carolina University 6. M.S.in School Psyhology - NC State University 7. M.S. in Speech/Language Pathology - UNC Chapel Hill 8. M.S. in Communication Sciences and Disorders - East Carolina University 9. M.A. in Speech/Language Pathology - UNC Greensboro So, my questions for you guys: 1. Chances at any of the above schools? 2. Is research experience as vital for Master's programs as it is for Ph.D programs? 3. Is 9 programs is too many to apply to? Too few? 4. Will graduating from a "public Ivy" university nationally improve my chance with my somewhat low GPA? If you need additional info, just ask! Thanks!
