Psychology Schools 101: Admission Requirements And Procedure

By Girish Jaju


Having a good understanding of the steps for applying to the psychology school of your choice is imperative if you want to be sure that you would be accepted not just into that school but also into the psychology program that you are planning to take. To help you out in getting information about the application process which is used by most psychology schools today, here is a guide that you can follow.

The first thing that you need to do would be to secure a list of all the requirements that you need to meet or submit in order to get into the school and program of your choice. You can typically get this information either through visiting the school's website or through calling their admissions department.

You should then get a copy of their application form. Again, you can get this either through downloading it from their website or through asking for one from their admissions department. Once you have an application form, you should then fill it out accurately and completely before submitting it online or directly to the school. Note that when you submit the application form, you may also be required to pay an application fee.

The next step would be to gather all of the documents and requirements that the school is asking for. This may include: official transcript/s from the school/s you have attended in the past; letters of recommendation; a personal statement or a statement that you have written describing your career goals and your interest in psychology; and your curriculum vitae, especially if you are applying for a graduate program. Keep in mind that if you are planning to apply for a financial aid program of the school, you may also be asked to submit additional requirements and documents.

Once you have submitted the application form and other requirements, you would then have to take the entrance exam as well as go through an interview. You may be exempted from these, however, if you have a high GPA. To get more information about this, make sure to contact the school you are applying to directly.

Once you have submitted and have gone through everything that the school is asking for, all that is left for you to do would be to wait as they process your application. After you receive the good news, you should then be on your way to getting the education which would help you become successful in the field later on.
