  1. Just wanted to thank everyone for their advice. I'm new to the forums so I don't know how to tag people. I've taken all of your advice and I'm planning on applying to some terminal Masters programs related to the fields I'm interested in this next application cycle. I have also applied for a few research positions and relevant work positions, as well.
  2. Could you elaborate on this please? Do you mean research programs for me to get research experience in prior to applying to the Masters or do you mean I should look into smaller universities with research masters programs? Thanks
  3. I'm sorry if this question has already been asked before since it seems like a common question but I couldn't find a post on it. I am planning on applying to graduate school soon. Most of the programs I'm planning on applying to require 2-3 academic references, which I have BUT I plan to apply to multiple schools that I think I have a chance of being competitive in (10-15 schools at least). The problem I'm running into is that if I'm applying to this many schools I don't want to be harassing my past professors for 15+ references, as I'm sure they have better things to do than write 15+ difference references for me. I was wondering if anyone had a solution or could recommend anything to get around this problem as I don't want my references to start writing poorer references towards the end due to fatigue from writing all those references. I'm applying in Canada to various different provinces and planning on applying to programs in the field of Psychology.
  4. Hey guys, I'm a recent graduate from the University of Manitoba and was planning on applying to graduate school for Clinical Psychology or Social Psychology programs and was wondering if I can get into these programs without having an Honors degree and no research experience. I've looked into a bunch of programs and they all either state Honors degree or equivalent required or preferred. Here's some Background: I graduated with a 4 Year Bachelors of Science degree with a Major in Psychology and minors in Chemistry and Biology. My first two years I was majoring in Biochemistry but taking electives in Psychology, which interested me. After my first 2 years, due to my horrific GPA (2.5 on a 4.5 scale) and realizing I was more passionate about Psychology I switched majors. These last 2 years I've taken all Psychology courses and have maintained a perfect GPA of 4.5 out of 4.5 in all of my courses, and I also had A+s in all of my Psychology courses I took as electives, while I was still a biochem major. So my CGPA isn't the greatest but my Psychology GPA and last 2 year GPA is good. I wrote my GREs and did okay ( VR - 158, QR-163, AW- 4.5). I have no research experience as of right now. In terms of volunteer experience, I have lots of hours put in at a seniors home and hospital, but this was during my first 3 years of university. Also, for work experience I don't have anything relevant or related to Psychology. So in other words, my ECs and suck. Do I still have a chance at getting into any grad clinical psych or social psych program in Canada or USA? Which one's do you guys think I have a shot in or recommend? Any advice or feedback on the matter would be appreciated. Thanks. Edit: I'm open to applying to US schools
