Is anyone applying to Auburn's Counseling Psychology program, or Georgia Southern's PsyD program? I'm so nervous I can hardly stand it!!
I'm 26 and will be graduating with my BS in Psychology and Human Services May 2018. Applying to a few doctoral programs and several master's programs.
Undergraduate GPA- 3.61, Psych GPA- 3.7
GRE: Verbal- 154, Quantitative- 148, Analytical- 3.5
Clinical experience- 1.5 years of full-time work with an outpatient addiction treatment center. I work as the admissions/administrative coordinator but also independently run 5 groups/week (Relapse Prevention, Family Orientation, Trauma Recovery, Psychoeducation, Step Group, etc.) Have gotten weekly supervision. Participate in treatment team meetings for case-conceptualization. Utilize crisis intervention skills.
Research experience- 1 year as a research assistant in a clinical psychology lab within another university. Running participants, using Qualtrics, quantitative coding, etc. No posters or pubs.
Very strong letters of recommendation. 1 from research supervisor/primary investigator, 1 from a my psych professor, 1 from a supervisor at work. From what I saw, they wrote about my strong interpersonal skills, intellectual curiosity, responsible nature, and willingness to accept feedback. I waived my right to view these letters but a few showed them to me anyway.
Knocked my SOP out of the park, too. I'm worried about the GRE scores. They absolutely do not represent my potential. I'm going to attempt not obsessing over decisions. Oh wait, TOO LATE.
