Hi! I would appreciate any feedback, especially from anyone who has applied/been accepted into the UMD (College Park) PhD Counseling Psych Program!! I was previously in a PhD clinical psych program, but unfortunately had to leave the program due to financial constraints (an essentially non funded program). I did very well academically in the program, so my transcript is strong. I have now been working in the field (counseling and research positions) for the last 4 years since then. I was working in the field prior to my first program, so I have a solid CV. Aside from a high GPA and good transcripts, lots of research and applied experience, I have solid LOCs and can write a good statement. My one challenge is the GRE - I didn’t perform exceptionally the first time, although I was accepted into several programs. I looked into UMD’s Counseling Psych program, and noticed it says that they have no GRE cut off scores and don’t provide averages or means of their students. I will have to retake the GRE since mine has expired. I cannot imagine doing better than I did last time, as I’ve been out of school for a little while. My scores were something like: Verbal: 85th percentile Quant: 25th percentile Writing: 5 Does anyone have any insight as to scores like this for this specific program? I honestly don’t anticipate scoring higher than this on the quant. Thanks!!
