<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>Basically my story goes, I have FINALLY completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology at an average school in California. I have was involved within a research lab (Cognitive psychology Lab) for 2 years, worked as a Volunteer Center Director, within group homes, the foster system, and numerous other psychology related venues.</p>
<p>I initially, always, wanted to get my MFT. Then I became more infatuated with SPORTS, and was informed I could make a killing if I were to get my degree in Sports Psych! I interned with an NBA team, and worked in many, MANY sports related networks and fell in love! (My dream was to be the sport Psychologist for the LAkers ) As I have stated, I have much work experience within both field. Now here is my problem...</p>
<p>My GPA is very low. 2.5 (ish) and I am realizing, I do want to go back and get my MFT. My final year, year and a half, I extended to a 5th year, just to take pre reqs in Sport Psych, for their program, and bombed it (due to personal, and family issues, that were very traumatic.) Not to mention, I can admit, I some what BSed my undergraduate collegiate career.</p>
<p>Now I feel lost. I still am not 100% sure which avenue I want to take.</p>
<p>MA in Psych
MFT
MA in Sport Psych</p>
<p>It would be much appreciated if someone can (and yes I have searched, but came up short) some schools, which hold programs for MFT & Sport Psychology that are more lenient with GPA scores. Basically, every other area is solid: Letters of Req, Personal Statement, Experience even Lab work (which I don't know is needed for MFT). I just know I have worked the last 2 years and I am ready to go back to school. I miss higher education! Learning! The atmosphere! I feel it has taken my 5 years, but for once in my life, I WANT to be in school and I am willing to step out of my comfort zone to go where I need to be.</p>
<p>Sorry for the essay of a message, could have saved it for my personal statement, huh? </p>
<p>SO yea, basically... if someone can give me some school options, which are acceptive of LOW GPAs in MA Psych, MFT & SPort Psych, I will be really appreciative.</p>
<p>Thank you so much!</p>
