Low quant GRE: successes and failures
Heaven'sMaiden replied to dragonage's topic in Psychology Forum
I did want to point out that a low GRE score on the quantitative does not mean the end for stats. For example, I got a 145 and and I did amazing in a graduate level stats class (I even skipped the intro class and went straight into the hard stuff). I was expecting being asked about my scores but I think that because they saw I took graduate level stats and passed with an A that they didn't bother. -
I would pick either b or c. I think I would stick to C because they are flexible with you going full time or part time.

Can I join your band?

They usually let you know that you are wait listed. I was told about a week after the interview was done. I am still waiting and keeping my fingers crossed.

The University of Arizona has a good program. I work with a person who is in the school psy at the U of A.

I am in a similar situation. I have good research experience, good GPA, good letters, but bad GRE. I was recommended by the Clinical Ph.D coordinator to go for a masters and I am considering it because if I apply again and I don't make it in then I lose a year and have to work at my crappy job. If I finish my masters I prove that I can do graduate level work and I can also work within the field. I know that masters are cash cows and that there is not much funding but at least afterwards I would be able to work and gain experience ( at a job I like) and I figure that I can do research with the people in the masters to further prove myself. But this is just me.

I agree it sounds like you would be happy at # 1. Go where you will be happy doing what you do. -
I applied to several Clinical Psychology programs and I was rejected because of low GRE scores. The only reason I know is because I contacted the various Psychology departments (the ones that answered) and they said it was my GRE . I was told that I was strong in research,GPA, and match by mentor but I need to pull up my GRE scores to the 70-80 percentile. I am retaking the GRE again and crossing my fingers.

I was waitlisted 2/10/2015 and hopeful that I will get in. I have seen some things work out for people and I hope that the same happens for me. Keeping my fingers crossed.

So, I am currently wait listed and I would love to hear success stories to brighten my mood. Thanks in advance.

I asked the school and they told me that it was not ranked. Not hurt in trying if you are polite.

Hi everyone so I applied to a Ph.D. program in Clinical Psychology and I was rejected but I was suggested that I should consider the M.A. degree in Clinical Psychology. The program fits to my interests but it is at a branch campus where they have the M.A. program. They informed me that no additional fees or application materials will be required. This school is my top choice and so I am hoping that if I make a strong impression that I could go from an M.A. to a Ph.D. there. So I have two questions for you guys 1) Do you guys think that my chances of getting in to the M.A. are good? 2) Do you guys think that I could make the transition from M.A. to Ph.D.? 3) Do you think it is a good decision to go for the M.A.? I was thinking that maybe I can demonstrate that I can do graduate level work and that I really want it.

Does a masters help when being considered for a Ph.D?
Heaven'sMaiden replied to Heaven'sMaiden's topic in Psychology Forum
Thanks you guys. I was wondering about that. I have good grades and one publication that is under review and another that is being prepared to submit. So I am hoping that both get in. -
Hi, So, like a large majority of my fellow psychology students I applied to clinical Ph.D. programs and was rejected. I was wondering if getting a masters is worth it? Would it be better for me just to take a graduate level stats class and continue to do research with my mentor (even if it is grunt work)? My plan if I didn't go for a masters was to work full time, take a sas class ( I have already taken a grad stats class so I was going to take a sas class next), increase my GRE scores, apply for the NSF and ford fellowship, and submit an idea of research to my mentor then if it is good hopefully submit something for publication. If he says no I plan to continue to do grunt work.
