  1. Hello, this is yet another WAMC question. I plan to apply to Clinical Psychology Ph.D. programs this fall and would like feedback on my current application stats. I'm freaking out a little bit from looking on here and SDN; I would appreciate any recommendations for what I should do to better prepare for applications.Education: Current B.A. in Psychology student at a SLAC that is somewhat selective Major GPA: 3.51 [by the time I graduate it will be between a 3.6-3.7] Overall GPA: 3.4 [again by the time I graduate it will be between a 3.5-3.6] GRE: I am retaking because my AWA was appalling [I spent too long prepping my essays and did not really get to write them] I have technically taken 3 stats classes: 1 was for the AP exam, 1 was for psych [got a B], and the other was during Spring 20 [I didn't know that it would be better to have a B- in an upper-division math stats class than a P]. Research Experience: I am currently an RA and have been since January 2021. I know that this is not a long time to be one [about a year once I apply] however, I and another student came up with this project together [with a Psych professor] and managed to turn in the IRB before the summer started and got it approved. We should have a poster or two before application season. Also, the professor stated that she believes that we could turn in a manuscript before Fall 22. I am also part of my school's Honor's Program and will be completing a research project with the same professor with who I am already working with. We should have the IRB in before the end of Fall this year and get it approved so that we can collect data by November 21. This professor will also be writing me a LOR. I have written a research paper for my Honor's religion class and presented it at my undergrad symposium. The religion professor I worked with to create the paper, will be writing me a LOR. In my math stats class, we did 2 major projects [1 used government data of ~50 data points; the other we collected ~50 participants on our own] and we analyzed the data on our own before writing a research paper. My school also has a psych research methods class where we submit a mock IRB proposal, collect and analyze data, and write a paper. However I don't think that I am going to list this since it just has ~20 participants, is a group project, and did not find significance. Also, I came up with a research proposal last year for a class and am hoping that the main professor that I am working with will accept completing it in Spring 22 [it's in the psychology field but has very loose ties to clinical psych] Research Interests: It has to do with racial disparities in mental health and how can we improve the measures (for Schizophrenia and Autism, specifically). Programs I want to apply to: UT Southwestern Medical Center University of Houston University of North Texas Southern Methodist University University of Iowa Idaho State University Florida State University Nova Southeastern University Arizona State University University of Nevada, Las Vegas *NOTE* I don't mind religious schools [am currently at one] but I myself am not religious at all. The last time I went to church was elementary school.I also plan to get my writing professor to write me a LOR to show that my writing is not as awful as my first AWA score may say [it was a 2.0]Should I apply to Counseling Psych too? Or should I take an extra year off and get in a couple of manuscripts from the research projects that I am currently working on?Thank you in advance for any feedback!
