<p>Alright so, I'm not gonna B.S. this at all. I did NOT do well during my undergrad years. I just graduated this february with a 2.7. My last two years, my semester GPA was a 3.0 and above but of course, that did not help my cumulative GPA. I am very much interested in the field of psychology yet, I was just not focused and as serious as I should have been. I'm really beating myself up for all this and regret it more than you can imagine!</p>
<p>I've been trying to do AS much research as possible and from what I've seen, if you do not have at least a 3.0, a good amount of grad schools wont even consider you. My question to all of you is if there's ANY way possible that I could show grad schools that I'm serious and deserve a shot?</p>
<p>Since I just graduated with a bachelor of arts in psychology, I have been applying to several counselor jobs. I plan on doing this for at LEAST a year or two. I've heard work experience and getting good recommendations will help.</p>
<p>Also, by the time summer approaches, I plan on getting several GRE prep books and probably a tutor or taking some GRE prep session. I want to study it for MONTHS and try to get the highest score I possibly can.</p>
<p>I've heard people mention a post-bacc. for trying to fix a GPA. Would that actually help and how long does it take to complete one? Could doing this option get me into a really good school (instead of just an "okay" one with a 2.7 gpa?)</p>
<p>Thank you for all your help!</p>
