  1. I've just very recently opened my eyes to the field of quantitative psych. I'm taking a psych course ("the general linear model") which is more or less the next step after the psychology stat class that all psych majors are required to take, except this class is being taught for the first time ever, which again goes to show how overlooked this field is. I want to know if I would perhaps be a good fit for a quantitative psych program because it seems like a great field in great demand/great prospects etc..not that i'm interested solely for that reason. 1) To be really honest, I'm not that great at math. im attending college in the US and I would actually be above average here (im asian btw) but I have friends and THEY'RE good at math, im just kinda okay/not too bad. im not great is i guess my point although i would fare well above average if i took some sort of standardized test against other students. but in applying to grad school, that pool is already limited to the well performing students so I feel a bit unsure if my math capabilities may not be enough, or just barely enough. For any people that graduated or are in quantitative programs, what do you have to say about necessary math skills? 2) I read through on the apa website where they wrote about quantitative psych and they listed what grad schools might be looking for. again from people already in the field or perhaps know people in the field, what sort of credentials are necessary? I have credit for calc, except that's from high school so I'm a bit unsure about enrolling for a calc class now. as i said, im taking a psych stat course right now. as for research, I'm getting course credit for doing coding stuff for developmental research (e.g. looking at photos/ watching videos and coding). so the research part probably isnt going to help much since it's not very data intensive at all.my gpa is near 3.9 so I think that isn't too bad? I haven't taken the gre yet, but im graduating a year early so Im planning on giving myself a year if grad school is the way i want to go for sure. Sorry I rambled on so much, but any information from people who are actually already in this would be really helpful thank you.
