Hey everyone!
I'm also super excited to start this whole process, even though it feels like i've been thinking about this for over a year already haha.
I graduated last May and have been working as a lab coordinator for a research lab, which I will continue to do until I get into grad school (crossing fingers!)
I'm mostly applying to Masters programs in Counseling Psych and Counselor Education (because gpa :/) but i've recently decided to add one or two PhD programs to the mix.
Luckily i have my LOR's already locked in, and started drafting my personal statements for some programs already. My GRE's are fairly average, but i'm not sure whether I should retake them or not.
So far this summer i'm going to try and get published, and contact profs for the PhD programs, as well as work on my SOP's. With work and all of this, I can tell it's going to be super busy, but i'm excited!
I've also noticed that i'm gravitating towards certain schools, probably because the fit just seems so right. Here's hoping they feel the same!
