So here are my stats

 

GPA
Cumulative undergrad GPA with a B.A. in Psychology
GPA: 3.9
Psych: 4.00

Research experience (By the time i graduate):
3 Years in a molecular genetics lab, involved in many projects with my name attached to 3 papers (5th or so author each.. ehh) in a journal with a high impact factor.
.5 years in a social psychology lab running participants
2 years in a social development lab, paid. Video coding, recruiting experiments and running experiments. Most likely doing an honors thesis through this lab

LOR
3 strong letters of recommendation. one from an MD, psychiatrist, and professor. Another from a professor, and another from a clinical psychologist in the social development lab I work for.

GRE (my weak point i guess)
Just took it
GREV 158
GREV 154
dont know writing

I studied like mad for this and don't know if i could ever commit as much time as i did (2 hours a day for 3 months)

I know my GRE would be questionable and near too low for most clinical, but I am looking into  I/O, social, or maybe applied (MA or PHD).
For I/O, social, and applied, will these GRE scores work?

1) Which one of those is your Quantitative score?

 

2) It depends on the school/program to which you apply.

I would say they're not that bad, but if they bother you a lot just retake. My scores all jumped a few points the second time I took my test (except analytical stayed the same). 

 

You could also straight up ask your POIs. I had one POI tell me she really didn't care about GRE scores.
