  1. Hi,  I thought you might find this helpful.  Here are the other schools I considered aside from Salem State that accept lower scores.  Good luck!!!!

     

    School State Apply Accepted Enroll Avg GRE Avg GPA
    Univ of New Haven CT 120 75 35 150/150 3.3
    Fairfield CT 15 12 10 NA  
    East Carolina Univ NC 72 24 9 154/153 3.4
    UNC Charlotte NC 100 6 6 156/160 3.63
    U of Central FLA FL 90 13 12 156/167 3.33
    U of West FLA FL 60 35 10 152/151 3.6
    Villanova PA 50 40 35 150/155 3.46
    Hofstra NY 80 46 33 153/158 3.3
  2. I sent in an early application to a local university where I receive free room and board at home and reduced tuition (in-state) and was accepted! Very happy as now I do not need to send in a bunch of applications and stress about getting accepted. Salem State University in Salem, Massachusetts. Great program including a full semester internship which typically ends up as a permanent job placement. My stats are low, although I have never gotten below a B- (twice), since I have dyslexia I tend to get a lot of B's. Since I do not do well with standardized tests I made sure I bumped up the rest of my application and that seemed to help. GPS: 3.2, but rising GRE's: V:157, Q:147, W: 4.5 I/O internship, work as residential counselor at a halfway house, 3 years research experience in PTSD and affects on the workplace. I have won grants and awards for my research.
  3. I am happy to report that I applied early to my first choice program where I can save on room and board and also get in state tuition. I was just accepted! I won't be sending in applications for the other schools as this was my first choice! Salem State University in Massachusetts. Great program and offers a full semester internship as part of the curriculum. Thank you all for your advice. The Department Head met with me and was extremely interested in my job at a halfway house as a residential counselor as well as my internship and research experience. In some cases, GPA and GREs are not the only things that matter! My stats at time of application were: GPA: 3.2, but on the rise GRE: V: 157, Q: 147, W: 4.5 By the way, MSIOP2015, I had New Haven and Hofstra on my list as well, but also some FLA and NC schools that were total reaches due to my stats. Based on their high acceptance rates in past years I think you have a good shot!
  4. Clarification - I am applyng for a Masters, not a PhD program if that helps my chances.
  5. Hi Everyone, I am a Junior needing some advice from experienced applicants. I am a white male, from the Northeast. I am extremely involved in research and have been since freshman year, specializing in researching PTSD and its impact on the workplace. I am the first undergrad in 14 years to receive a grant from my University for my research and hope to be able to publish my results. This summer I am fortunate to also have received an internship in I/O PSychology in the HR Department of a large Healthcare organization in the Boston area. My barrier is, my GPA is 3.17, hoping to reach 3.2 by application time. I have not taken my GRE's, but standardized testing tends to be difficult for me, I am hoping for 150 scores based upon how I did on the SATs. (I am dyslexic) Many of the programs I am researching seem to have an average GPA/GRE significantly higher than mine. Is there a hollistic approach to admissions in this area or will my GPA eliminate my application without even a closer look? ** Edited to include that I am planning to apply for Masters programs.
