Hi everyone !!

 

I am a graduate in Pharmacy(B.Pharma),from B.I.T.S Pilani India.

 

I want to do research masters in Psychology.Currently I am preparing for GRE and TOEFL ,that I will give away by the end of this month.

 

What are the possibilities for me to get admitted in such programme.What GRE score I need??\

 

Please guide me how to proceed.

Since you're applying out of field you should definitely write the psychology subject GRE, even if it's not required by the schools you're applying to. 

 

Re: GRE score: it really tends to vary from area to area. Clinical programs seem to put a greater emphasis on verbal, and are more likely to forgive weaker quant scores, whereas quant psych programs would want you as close to the 99th percentile as possible, but may care less about the verbal. That said, if you want to be competitive at decent schools 80th percentiles across the board is a minimum. What specific areas of research are you interested in?
