I hope "slightly above average" is a good place to be! I appreciate the feedback! @Rerun If you don't mind me asking, what do you mean by "your stats profile might contribute in cutting down number of applicants"? Pretty much all of the programs I am applying to have over 100 applicants each year. However, I am only applying to schools with which I have a good (or decent) fit with specific professors, so hopefully this will help. I have been contacting professors, but have been getting a mixture of slightly warm to obviously copy-pasted responses lol. Still, I am keeping my fingers crossed!

Hello everyone, You were all very helpful on my other thread, so I decided to post here again. I wish to know how good (or bad) of an applicant I am so that I know what schools to apply to. Other than what is in the title, I have the following: 3 Great letters of recommendation (2 academic, 1 from an unrelated business profession). A master's thesis (in progress, I am counting it as my 3rd paper for the time being lol) . A good (or at least decent) fit in all programs I am applying to. MS GPA of 3.93 BA GPA of 3.00 I am applying to the following schools (with acceptance rates included): Auburn University (5.38%) University at Albany/State Uni. of New York (3.56%) Clark University (2.94%) Long Island University (6.25%) Hofstra University (6.02%) U. Minnesota (5.47%) Pacific University (11.03%) University of Oregon (5.36%) Rowan University (9.60%) St. John's University (3.29%) Suffolk University (1.47%) Duquesne University (4.70%) Thank you!

Thanks for the help guys! It is true that the majority of schools are not even considering the GRE, but there are still a few that require it. Perhaps I am just super nervous and blowing things out of proportion. Edit: I suppose I am more into qualitative research, but I am comfortable with SPSS Edit2: I am interested in eating disorders, and so far it is about 50/50 on whether schools want or don't want (or the dreaded "optional") submitted GRE scores.

Hello all, As the title says, I scored a perfect 6.0 on my analytical writing section. However, I scored an aggressively average score on the verbal and quantitative sections. I have read a variety of conflicting responses, but I would love to hear what you guys think (given that the majority of us are in the same boat). Thanks guys, I will try to be as responsive as possible in this thread. For reference, I am applying to Clinical Psychology PhD programs. I will have two (and a half) great LoR's and can reliably write strong personal statements. I also have 2 - 3 studies of which I am the primary author, all of which will be submitted in time for application deadlines. I have an unrelated undergrad degree (3.0 GPA) from a large school, but I have an M.S. in Psychology (3.98 GPA) from a small school. I am a nervous wreck, so I apologize in advance for asking a potentially redundant question lol. P.S. I will be retaking the GRE in late October. Thanks guys
