<p>Okay so I applied to 5 schools:
-University of Michigan Ann Arbor
-University of Illinois- Urbana Champaign
-University of Knoxville
-Vanderbilt
-University of Kentucky. </p>
<p>I applied for Ph.D. programs in Developmental Psychology and Experimental Psychology with a Developmental Concentration. I'm just getting opinions on where I stand in the gist of things because, although I have a not-so great GPA, my level of real-world experience in Psychology is beyond what I should have for graduating May 2013. I'm also a Hispanic woman, which I know can occasionally play in my favor. Here's where I'm coming from:</p>

I know this is long but I want to paint an accurate picture of my experience. Other information: I also have experience in graduate level statistics and using AMOS for CFA, Path Modeling, and SEM.</p>
<p>If anyone can guess, what are my chances of getting into any of these schools based on the above items? I really want to know because I need to plan for the worst.</p>
