Applying to grad schools! I also have started a small side business, which is reasonably successful, and low stress/undemanding.

Any advice about the grad application process would be appreciated. Some info:

  1. I'm applying to Clinical Psychology programs, either Psy.D or Ph.D (I want to be a clinician).
  2. My B.A. is in Psychology, with a minor in neuroscience.
  3. I have a low undergrad GPA for a grad applicant: 3.3
  4. 99th percentile score on the Psychology GRE
  5. 1360 on the general GRE, 730 Verbal, 630 Quantitative

Don't go for a Psy. D if i was you. They take an approach of whats called "scholar-practitioner" which means that just have to know how to look at the available literature whereas a Ph.D you actually have to do science in order to get it the phd version is scientist practitioner.

man if you can't get in i am hopeless i have a 2.83 undergrad and probably won't do nearly as well on my gre
