Advice for MA Psychology with limited psych background?

[Nz93]

Hello, I am currently thinking of applying to a General Psychology MA. The one I'm looking at now is NYU's General Psychology Program.

 

Any advice for an English major with some psych courses and psych RA experience who is interested in eventually obtaining a psychology Phd? 

 

How do I even get to a Phd with my limited background? Would you recommend an MA? 

 

I will soon graduate from the University of Toronto with probably a 3.65/4.0 GPA. 

 

Any advice would be helpful! thanks a bunch!

kill it in the GRE. i also came into a Psychology program with a limited background in Psych and the GRE was what opened the doors for me.

If you're Canadian, you're probably better off (at least financially) staying in Canada for a master's. There's rarely funding for a master's in psychology in the USA, which means accruing a lot of debt before you can even begin the PhD.
