<p>After looking into some graduate programs, I am considering looking at some in the UK. I heard it is sort of difficult to get into programs there but I would really like to try. </p>
<p>I'm a Psychology major with a fairly good GPA (3.55). I'm not sure whether or not I should try/ if it would be worth it. I know I didn't provide much information, but what do you think my chances might be?</p>
<p>Also, I'm studying abroad this upcoming semester. Do you think it would be a good idea to talk to a professor about the topic?</p>
<p>GPA isn’t the only factor in admissions. It is also pretty difficult to gauge “chances” in grad school admissions because it doesn’t operate like undergrad, but with only your GPA it’s impossible.</p>
<p>Why would it be impossible with my GPA? Are you saying grad school in general? Because I’ve heard that it isn’t.</p>
<p>I would like to get a degree in the UK because I like their system of education much better than the US, it just seems to make more sense to me.</p>
<p>It’s impossible to give you even the slightest hint of “chances” with only your GPA. Graduate admissions are far more holistic and qualitative than that.</p>
<p>Why do you want to go to graduate school? To what field are you planning to apply? What is your goal? Those are the questions you need to answer.</p>
<p>I see what you mean, now. Also, the school I go to is nicknamed “St. Cs”, and the avg GPA is about a 2.7. Do graduate programs look at class rank at all? I still have 3 semesters to go, so there is a chance I’ll be able to bring my GPA up. </p>
<p>I want to go to graduate school for developmental psychology, and eventually do work with child psychopathology. I’m just not sure if I want to go into research or counseling, although I’m sort of leaning towards research.</p>
