  1. Hi everyone. It's my first time posting here and I just made an account with thegradcafe even though i've been lurking the posts since the beginning of this school year. I'm currently a 3rd year student studying Psychology at UWO and this isn't the year I apply to grad schools but I'm super anxious for next year. It's currently finals season and I am stressed out because these marks kind of determine the trajectory of the rest of my academic career. I've decided that I want to apply to Western, UofT, Guelph, Ottawa, McGill, McMaster, Yorkville, Acadia and Athabasca for their various counselling psychology programs but I'm not sure if I even have a chance for some of these schools. Here are my stats and please let me know what you think: My GPA by the end of this year will be about a 3.7 (around 83% for my second year and a projected average of 84% for my third year) I have been working at a psychology research lab since the summer after my first year so for about 2.5 years now I have been on my school's psychology association for about 3 years now in various executive roles and will be a part of the club during my 4th year as well. I've taken on multiple roles such as first-year representative, VP External Communications, VP Marketing, and now VP Events I've taken on the role of an Equity, Diversity and Inclusion representative on behalf of the psychology department at my school I have had a job as a "Residence Don" at my University for about 3 years and in those role we deal with a bunch of mental health crisis situations + vulnerable individuals in general I'm a part of my schools Undergraduate Psychology Journal as an editor I will be completing an honours thesis next year I just recently became a support line volunteer at the CMHA I won't be taking the GRE since it's not necessary for most of the programs, and other than upping my grades for fourth year and continuing my extracurricular commitments i'm not sure what else I can do to improve my application. It has also been difficult to really boost my average and I've kind of started to plateau at where I am right now. Any advice is appreciated!
