I'd like to ask for your comments on my application profile:

Undergraduate degree in Sociology and Philosophy (GPA 3.69, 3.71 in Major)

Masters degree in Rehabilitation Psychology (GPA 3.88)

Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, CRCC

Licensed Professional Counselor in Training

Hospice Care Volunteer

Usui Reiki Master, Member the Reiki Alliance (pending)

I am interested in examining genetic social factors and health outcomes across the lifespan and with different populations/demographics.

How does this sound for an applicant profile? Does anybody have any suggestions on which schools might accept me?

Thanks....Joe

Where are you applying to? And as stated numerous times before on this board, it is hard to gauge what committee's are looking for, so these types of post don't always produce the best feedback.

I'm applying to Madison, Boulder, Montreal, Arizona, and Massachusetts, maybe a few more.

As barilcious said, it is tough to know what adcomms are looking for, but it seems like you have a good overall profile. If you have time to retake the GRE before your apps are due, I would try to take it again and raise your quant score.

You should consider programs that have strengths in biosocial perspectives -- Penn State, Rutgers, and Nebraska-Lincoln come to mind.
