Ah. I am freaking out. I applied to 10 graduate schools ~ 13 programs. I am really worried about not going in. I have a ****** GPA (2.93, projected 3.1 at the end of this year). My major is in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice. The classes I did not do well in were some of my gen eds and most science/math based courses in psychology... Also becuase of my depression and all school became difficult from time to time... I am showing improvement this year though. I graduate school in 2017, instead of 2018 so I finish in 3 years instead of 4...

I don't have much work experience, my family didn't like the idea of me working and don't support me in anything (irrelevant for this post, in therapy for this, lol). I don't have any research experience or anything which sucks. This is why I don't think I am getting into grad school. My GRE's suck too, I am a bad test taker..
I am very work motivated and all of that htough which is a huge perk...

I applied to McGill, Dalhousie, U of Denver, U of NC Greensboro, U of Albany, Texas A&M Commerce, U of North Texas at Dallas, U of North Florida, and Jacksonville University...

I am getting very anxious and worried at this point. I was talking to other people appling and they all have high GRE scores and amazing resumés with research...
Compared to other people I am an average candidate with nothing special..
My advisor even said not to put my hopes up for grad school, to have alternate plans..

I feel horrible.
