So I'm kind of behind the eight ball but maybe there is someone out there who can point me in the right direction with some optimism.
I'm applying to I/O Masters programs but I missed all the Dec 1st deadlines due to having waited on taking the GRE.
The only schools on my radar currently are San Francisco State University, San Jose State University, SUNY-Albany, and NYU.
My stats go like this:
V: 650 Q: 600 AW: 3.5 : (
Can't believe I got a 3.5. Getting a 3.5 on the AW feel like getting a failing grade. Total bummer.
The 600 on the Quantitative is also brutal.
I graduated college back in 1995, got a B.S. in Advertising, had a 2.85 overall GPA (terrible GPA)
I have worked nonstop since I was 15 years old with only one 3 month break in between my 1st and 2nd sales job.
I worked for 1 1/2 years in advertising upon graduating in 1995, didn't like it and got out, then worked the next 12+ years in outside sales.
The first six years I worked for one company as a straight-commissioned outside salesperson.
The last six years I worked as a specialty pharmaceutical sales rep selling adhd medications to psychiatrists and behavioral pediatricians.
I was once the #1 ranked sales rep in the country. (335 reps total)
Lost my job last year due to company politics. Have a great story to tell that directly applies to I/O Psychology.
I also have interests in Personality Disorders/Domestic Violence/Intimate Partner Violence and have given two presentations on the topic to psychology classes at a local community college.
Have recently completed 4 psychology classes and received all A's.
Abnormal Psych, Psych Research Methods, Personality Theory, Psych and Modern Life
Took Statistics in college when I was 19 and received an A.
Took intro to psychology when I was 19 and received an A.
I plan on taking (Social Psychology), (Intro to Social Research), (Emotions, Learning, and the Brain), and a refresher course in (Elementary Statistics)
So, after all of that, do I have a snowballs chance in hell of getting accepted to any I/O Psychology Masters Programs for Fall 2011?
