I'm currently in a masters program at NYU. I'm not in a Psychology program, but I took a psych class, clicked with the professor and now we are working on research together. I'm also doing a research project with my advisor. I don't love my program, but I love NYU. For me, the tuition is worth it since I was able to get loans, go to school part time, and keep working. You can find research opportunities, but you will need to network. My advice is to visit the campus and talk to professors before you accept. See if you fit in to the culture, and if you have an affinity with any professors with research interests similar to yours. I imagine you are going to have a hard time getting into a PhD program with your undergrad GPA, a great masters GPA should help, and seems to be the best option if you're unable to get a research position.
