kristen Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Okay, so I've been feeling ridiculously nauseated ever since I finally submitted my application to NYU's MA Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness program on the 19th of Jan. Here's my credentials... be honest. I want to know if I should just get used to feeling sick all day till I find out, or maybe I actually have a shot.... Dual-Enrolled in college classes in high school...therefore completing my BA in Psychology a year early.. GPA 3.6 Extremely strong and well-written LOR's (one from the director of Clinical Psych from my undergrad university...she knows me well Strong SOP Experience Interned with Mental Health Association- 1 yr Research Assistant/Senior Peer Recruiter for Anxiety Disorders Clinic- 1 yr Guardian Advocate for 4 different hospitals- 1 1/2 yr Volunteer for Marriage and Family Research Institute- 1 semester off-topic involved in my sorority's philanthropic organizations; Reading is Fundamental Foundation, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation as well as local charities.. etc. Received 4-yr academic scholarship waiving tuition Deans list There's other misc. things, but I feel this gives you an idea. This program doesn't require the GRE henceforth the lack thereof mentioning it alright, be honest. let's hear what you think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peppermint.beatnik Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 People always ask these questions, but the best answer is "wait and see." Maybe someone in your field could provide an assessment, but they don't really know either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solairne Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Fit is the most important part of your application. If you have .5 below the average GPA but are a stellar fit, you have a better chance than .5 over and no fit. solairne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notable research interests/experiences couple quite nicely with several faculty within the program... is this what you were referencing 'fit' to ?

Granted, it won't make up for a 2.2 GPA, but it will definitely work in your favor. solairne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
