<p>I looked through the posts in the forum and i saw a big number of people complaining about how competetive clinical psychology programs are in graduate school. How about Social or development psychology programs? What are the acceptance rates there? </p>
<p>My current GPA is 3,70 and my GRE is Q720 and V500 and i want to get in one of these schools:</p>
<p>Washington State University
UC Davis
UC San Diego
Oregon State University
University of Oregon
University of Washington</p>
<p>so i am not aiming as high as some people in here. What are my chances in social or development psych programs?</p>
<p>Doesn't anyone know anything? Which psychology programs have the highest acceptance rates?</p>
<p>For social or developmental psychology programs it is harder to give a prediction of your chances at acceptance without knowing about your previous research experience. If you have a nice GPA and GRE scores it's still highly dependent on your research experience, personal statement, and Letters of recommendation. If you have a great amount of quality research experience then I think with your selection of schools you'll do fine. However, because social or developmental programs are different than clinical programs, law school, and med schools where each program places a high interest in numbers it is much harder to judge the qualitative aspects of you as a student.</p>
<p>check out the individual websites, where they will give you an idea of requirements and selectivity. psych phd programs are pretty tough in general, but social and developmental programs are no where near as tough as clinical. you should definitely look for research matches in potential faculty member, as that is often the biggest admission factor. good luck!</p>
<p>You should be able to get into one of those programs. Your verbal GRE is low, but your Q number looks good. So focus on a grad school that is more biased towards research/quantitative research. Your GPA is also good. It will come down to where you went to school. What undergrad did you go to? It has to be a 4-year university with atleast a mid-range raking. If it is community college or a low-level 4-year university, it won't happen for you. The grad programs do not rely heavily on letters of rec or personal statements, so don't believe that hype. It is based mostly on your GPA/GRE and previous research experience. Apply to atleast 10 schools to give yourself a fighting chance.</p>
