Hello, everyone. I am planning to apply this fall to the pre-specialty PMHNP program and would like some input, as I am unsure of how I competitive I will be as an applicant. My GPA is low due to my life having been quite turbulent during the time I spent pursuing a BA in Psychology. My GPA at a CC where I spent my first two years of undergraduate is 3.59 (was 3.78? or so upon graduation, but then I took some summer classes there during the turbulent years..) My GPA at UT-Knoxville will be about 3.3 when I submit my application to Vanderbilt, assuming that I make A's in Physiology and Microbiology over the summer semester (I am confident of this occurring.) My GRE scores were: 169 (99th percentile) on the verbal, 156 (64th percentile) on the quantitative, and 4.0 on the writing. I plan to retake it in August or so as I am certain that I can score higher on the writing portion (and probably the quantitative as well). By the time I submit my application, I will have two years of experience as a full time nurse's aid/psychiatric technician (my job title is "Program Counselor") at an in-patient acute psychiatric facility. I have minimal, and mostly unrelated, research experience. I also have a little bit of volunteer experience in mental health settings. My low GPA is what concerns me most, but I'm hoping that good GRE scores can balance that out. Also, I am fairly confident about my ability to produce a statement of purpose and answers to the essay questions which will be at least on par with the average applicant. Given all of this, how much of a shot do you guys think I've got? Also, best of luck to everyone!
