Hi all, I'm new here, in the process of gathering information about applying to clinical psych PhD programs. I got my BA in Philosophy with 3.54 GPA but unfortunately, with little to no guidance on how to use my undergrad degree to set up my life (I came from an abusive family from which I am now estranged and didn't have any consistent adult role models in my life to advise me), I didn't think about career options at all. So aside from stuff like Philosophy Club and intramural sports I didn't do much in the way of extracurriculars. I'd like to pursue a PhD in Clinical Psychology and I'm wondering if it's worth it to pursue a second Bachelor's first, or would it be helpful/adequate to go for a post-bacc program instead? I'm wondering if I would be able to get any or enough research experience in a post-bacc program. Also, wondering what is involved in getting a second bachelor's and how long that would take. In the way of life experience since college, I've held jobs in the counseling/mental health world, become a certified yoga teacher, and been self-employed in a variety of endeavors, among other things. I have a good idea of where I want to go career and research-wise but need to start the task of re-working my life and qualifications to apply for doctorate programs. Any advice would be very helpful! Thank you.
