Good afternoon everyone

Please is there anyone still awaiting an admission decision from Wayne state?

I applied for MSc in counseling psychology and I haven’t heard anything from them since. I sent them follow up emails, sometimes they respond and most times they don’t.

I only applied to two schools and the first one already denied me admission.

JMG12:
Your CGPA is low. Consider writing the GRE and publication to increase your chances. Also, there has been career deviation. How would you explain that if you finally get all you seek from the school?

Thank you for your contribution.

Writing the GRE is like an Herculean task and there’s no guarantee that I’ll score very high. I’ll consider evaluating my transcript and publishing my final year project in a journal.

For the career deviation, I’ve seen lots of cases where your job isn’t directly related to what you studied in college.
I’m going for MSc in psychology because doing a course related to your undergraduate degree is better and safer.
I also have some volunteering and teaching experience in psychology so I can always build a story around it.

Please people in the psychology field or have studied anything psychology for MSc or PhD, I’ll appreciate your contributions and suggestions on schools that I can apply to that’ll guarantee admission and funding.

Thank you 🙏

Help! Help!! Help!!!

Hello Nairalanders,
I have a CGPA of 2.96/5.0 (psychology) graduated 2021.
I applied to UMassDarthmouth for research psychology and Wayne state for counseling psychology, I almost applied to southern Mississippi but they don’t accept unofficial transcripts and I didn’t know till the deadline was close.

UMassD denied me admission and I’m still waiting for a decision from Wayne state
I sent my application for both on February 13 and the deadline was February 15.

I want to reapply for spring or fall 2026 and I need advice on how to boost my chances of getting admission and funding.

I recently used the free WES calculator and it gave me 2.93/4.0, I don’t know how accurate it is so that I can just go ahead and pay for WES evaluation, I thought of writing GRE but seeing the past questions alone gives me anxiety. I’m also trying to see if I can publish my final year project in a journal, (UMassD told me that I don’t have a publication and my statistics grade is poor hence the admission denial)
I work in telecoms, and my job role isn’t directly related to psychology.

Considering my situation, please what is the way forward and how do I go about it?
What schools can I possibly apply to that’ll guarantee admission and funding for 2026?

Thank you 🙏
