Hello everyone!
I am feeling very nervous about applying and still feel unsure of my timeline so any help would be appreciated! I am currently an undergraduate student hoping to apply to Clinical Psych PhD programs this upcoming fall.
I currently work as a research assistant on campus and have worked there the past two years. The study that I am working on is an anxiety intervention for children. I am also interning as a research assistant this summer at an eating disorders lab. I have also had clinical experience interning at an Adoptions agency working with children/families with a focus on trauma and trauma informed therapy. My GPA is pretty low (3.4 cumulative) but I do think that I will be able to have good letters of recommendation. I am studying now and planning on taking the GRE and Psych GRE at the end of summer. I am also using Magoosh to study and it has been very helpful so far (but I haven't taken the GRE yet).
A back up plan for me is that I am going to apply for post-bacc and research positions as well as graduate programs so that way I would be able to work/build experience after graduating if I did not get accepted into a program that I really loved.
I am interested in working with children and families related to anxiety, internalizing disorders, family impact on disorders and intervention. I feel that my area of interest is pretty broad and I am not sure if this is helpful or harmful! I am still trying to narrow down schools that I would like to apply to.
