school psychology

[rcr2016]

Hello,

I am going to graduate with a BA in psychology. Will probably end with a 3.2-3.2 GPA from my UC & 3.8 GPA from my community college before transferring. I have been a research assistant at my school's autism center for the past year. Planning on taking a year off before applying to MA school psychology specialist programs. Do you think my low GPA will make it harder for me to get accepted into a program?

Well, as you might be aware most masters program require a min GPA of 3.0 so you are eligible to apply. In order to strengthen your profile, you can take up internships, projects or work for an year or two before joining your masters. Moreover, each application is reviewed holistically, taking factors such as personal and professional experience and accomplishments into consideration. So when applying highlight your experience at the autism center & other such aspects. Also, score high on your GRE to support your GPA. I am sure you will build a strong application. Good Luck!!
