Hi guys, I am planning to apply I/O Psychology PhD programs for 2016 intake. I studied engineering at unergrad and my GPA was very low (2.55). I have master`s in I/O (with GPA 3.44). I haven`t taken the GRE yet but my previous GRE score (3 years ago) was terrible (144 verbal and 149 quant). I have several papers and several conference presentations. I know my references are very good. I also worked in the field for a couple of years. When I read about your profiles all I feel is anxiety. I will be applying to Canadian universities. What do you think my chances will be? And which universities accept students similar to my profile?

PhD programs require references mostly from academic sources. If you have 2 academic references a 3rd one maybe from your managers. I also had the same problem and a friend of mine said that it is professors OBLIGATION to give you a reference letter. It is a part of their jobs. I suggest that you do not shy away to go and ask for a letter from your previous professors. The worst scenario is that you give them a lit stating important points about yourself. Good luck
