  1. Here are some things about me. I am a senior undergraduate student at the U of I in Champaign studying Psychology (did not declare as my major until last spring, changed major many times). However psychology is something I have found to enjoy and am intrigued by (taken over 30 PSYC hrs in just 2 semesters) . At the moment I have a 3.17 GPA (this low mostly due to apathy stemming from confusion/switching majors) and after this year I will have 3 semesters experience of being a research assistant in a lab. After my undergrad career is finished I anticipate my GPA to be ~3.2-3.25. First question, am I looking even remotely competitive for MA psych (preferably counseling) programs? I've read psych programs are very competitive. I am not looking at top tier schools like NW or U of Chicago, or even U of I, I'm fairly aware of where my chances stand with top tier schools. Anyway I also plan on taking a gap year after this Spring, to prepare for graduate school for the fall of 2018. In the meantime I anticipate studying for and taking the GRE and gaining more experience. My second question is, does this sound like a good idea? And if I want to get accepted into a counseling psychology MA program where should I look for and what kind of jobs/internships should I look into to gain experience? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
