clinical psychology

[spaige]

Hi,

 

I have taken the gre and my scores are 155V (66%), 159Q (75%) and 4.5 AWA (78%).

I am trying to get into clinical psychology in canada.

 

I have volunteered (and been paid) as a research assistant for 2 years now. At the moment I am in three different psych labs (social, I/O, and clinical). I have a overall 3.7 gpa, but my psych average is 3.9 (out of 4). All my stats and research courses are in the 90s. I have been told I am going to receive amazing letters of reference and I am trying to make sure I only apply to those schools who have the same interests in me (no use in wasting everyone's time and money). Lastly, I am just finishing up my honours thesis

 

Should I retake the gre to increase my verbal score. I know a 155 is not low, but it is only in the 66%. Each school seems to vary but the average acceptance is most often 159.

 

Will my 155 hurt  my chances of getting in?

I wouldn't. The rest of your stats are fine; provided your SOP is strong, you should be good.
