I’m about to apply to FIT for the ABA and OBM grad (MS) program, but I’m worried about how competitive it may be. Does anyone have any experience with any of the grad programs? or more specifically with the psych grad programs? What were your GRE scores, undergrad gpa, research experience and resume like? Is there financial aid? Anything I should know about admissions?
While I am not in the ABA or OBM program, I am a grad student at FIT. I did a lot of research on FIT prior to committing. Nearly all of the discussions I found online in regards to grad school at FIT were about the psychology programs. Psychology and behavior analysis appear to be very popular. So, presumably the programs are very competitive.
There are sites online where students submit their credentials, and acceptances and rejections. The Grad Cafe - http://thegradcafe.com/ - is an example. I would not trust the information entirely since no one verifies the information and people can lie about acceptances or inflate their stats. The best action would be to contact the program coordinator for ABA or OBM and ask what the average GRE scores and GPA were of those who applied or were admitted. Schools will sometimes provide this information if it is not on their web site.
