<p>No you have a decent shot, but I think you should ask yourself if that is the best fit, given your stated career goals.</p>

<p>I think you are wrong to assume that the Ivy's have the best clinical and child psychology programs. I'd rethink this assumption and look at some other schools like the following.</p>

<p>University of Pittsburgh
Purdue
University of Minnesota
Iowa State
Florida State
University of Missouri--Columbia
Case Western Reserve</p>

<p>Look for opportunities to move beyond the textbooks. I think some of these aforementioned alternatives will get you closer to where you want to be.</p>
