Average Clinical Psych Scores?

Recommended Posts

I've taken the GRE twice, the first I got 159V, 153Q, 5AW the second I got 156V, 156Q, 5AW. I am planning to submit both, but I don't know how competitive I am in clinical psych PhD programs with those scores. I'm applying to these programs and I think they fall in the following categories of my chances:

Long shots: University of Minnesota, University of Oregon, University of Houston, Florida State

Somewhere in the middle: Florida State, University of Utah

Better chance: Virginia Tech, University of Whyoming, University of Tulsa

Thoughts? Does anyone know of programs with lower GRE requirements?

Pretty much all clinical psych programs are competitive. Most at applications holistically, but some do have strict cut offs. Research fit is definitely a more important factor than GRE scores.

That being said, APA requires programs to publish student outcome data, so programs should have a chart that has mean GPA and GRE scores for the most recent cohorts, so you can see how your stats stack against them.
