meeb Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Hey guys, this is my first post on this forum. I've recently applied to 12 programs (10 mental health/clinical counseling and 2 social work). My goal is to become a therapist. I am worried about my stats. I have applied to a plethora of schools with a large range. Counseling Programs: 1. CUNY- City College of New York 2. CUNY- Brooklyn College 3. CUNY- Hunter College 4. Villanova University 5. UPenn GSE 6. William Paterson University 7. The College of New Jersey 8. Seton Hall University 9. Fairleigh Dickinson University 10. Centenary College Social Work Programs: 1. Temple School of Social Work 2. Rutgers University My stats are as follows: GRE: 159V, 144Q, 5.0W/A GPA's: Community College- 3.787 The College of New Jersey- 3.104 Psychology GPA- 3.113 Research: 1 year Volunteering: Research Lab, College Editorial Internship: Counseling Center for At-Risk Youth (1 semester) The reason for the low GPA at the 4-year school was due to battling depression, I wrote this and how I overcame it in my letter, as suggested by the admissions counselors. I also wrote a bit about the personal and family circumstances that led me to pursue a degree in psychology and a career in counseling. I had to retake five courses to get my GPA up due to the depression and have documentation (though I never took medical leave). I'm really worried I won't get into any of these schools. What do you think? (Before you say "OMG another what are my chances post", I know... its just that I really want to know, I haven't gotten a straight answer on this).

meeb Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 Can anyone offer some insight, or is my application so bad that I shouldn't even have considered applying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
