Bachelors Degree in Psych with Mentality of Going to NYU for Grad School.Answered
Hey guys,
What's the GPA to get into NYU for the MA in Mental Health Counseling? What extracurriculars would make me stand out of the crowd? So far, I am an e-board member for the AcTive Minds at Penn State and will either be VP in Active Minds this year or apply for a position at the Penn State Psych Club. Did I mention that I am also a member of PSI CHI (the International Honors Society at Penn State), College Dems at Penn State, the Sustainability Club st Penn State as well as Thon and on the side I care for the poor or food-insecure, meaning every month I supply the impoverished with healthy food. Is there any more ways to stand out? I haven't yet started my bachelors in Psych yet but will in the fall or spring of next year. I will also try my best to get a 3.65 gpa assuming that NYU is the only place I want to go for grad school.

You will need at least a 3.5 GPA to be competitive for the program. Your extracurriculars are quite good - the only thing you could really benefit from adding would be psychiatry shadowing or internship experience. Hope this helps!
