Hello all,
I'm applying to McGill (have a supervisor lined up), UQAM and Concordia in Clinical Psych. First time applying so any advice would be useful.
I have a somewhat unconventional background: I have a bachelor of Health Sciences. But I'm doing online Athabasca courses to get all my psych credits required by L'Ordres des psychologues du Québec.
GPA is 3.7 which I worry is too low.
I have lots of work and volunteer experience in health and mental health, and I now work as an RA on a youth mental health project (very big and prestigious). I have a publication in molecular biology, but I will be presenting at a conference in October on a psych related topic so I feel my research chops are okay.
Not doing GRE because it's not required where I'm applying.
Any input would be great, and I thought I would share my background so that others might do the same, I find it helps to get an idea of what's normal/where everyone is at.
Thanks!
