Ha, that makes more sense. If you're applying for the Fall 2016 cycle, you still have time to rack up some research experience. It doesn't have to be directly related to IO (very few undergraduate programs allow students to take part in IO related research), but having general RA or TA experience will definitely increase your chances of admission. Are you still in school? Also, don't let a subpar GPA scare you away. Study hard for the GRE, and kill it! You can make up for a low GPA with high GRE scores.

General consensus seems to be that IO programs abroad are not as developed as those in the states. If you plan on working in the states after graduating, I wouldn't bank on an overseas program. Lacking research experience can/will hinder your chances (at least in the states) of being admitted to a reputable IO program. Your experience with a crisis center and peer counseling are a definite plus for a counseling program, but I'm not sure how much it will help for an IO program (unless it was a RA or TA position). Consultation work is generally reserved for those who have a doctorate in IO. Also, why are you looking at IO programs if you are taking the LSAT in June?

I released my offers to Florida Tech (MS), SJSU (MS), and CSU (MA). If you are on the waitlist for any of these programs, I hope you hear some good news soon! I decided to go with Missouri State's MS program. Tuition waiver + stipend, and the faculty are a perfect fit for me!

Do you plan on staying in the UK after you graduate?

What MA/MS programs did you apply to, if you don't mind me asking?
