High school grades do not predict the grades you'll receive in college, nor does it predict which graduate program you'll be accepted.

P E R S E V E R A N C E . . . is what it takes to obtain your goals. Don't focus so much on your failures, but keep working until you do succeed!

Try not to focus on what type of graduate degree you want or where to attend, until you have entered your Junior or Senior year of college for bachelors degree. Once you start taking psychology classes, your interests in the field will grow.

What was advised to me for selecting and applying to graduate programs (masters or doctorates) is that you apply to the programs that study, research, and teach the particular specialty you are interested. Psychology is a huge field . . . behavioral, cognitive, social, clinical, research, policy, neuroscience, academia, and etc., AND MANY COMBINATIONS of those listed. Many universities are offering tailored programs to meet a few of your interests. Also, by the time you get your bachelors, there will be many online graduate degree programs available.

Does it matter what type of degree? It depends. If in academia, absolutely it matters where you studied. Neurosciences are more like medical degrees, so they will be stringent also. You want to be a clinical psychologist; there are many types of graduate programs to choose. Some teach research, then clinical. A few teach only clinical. But don't worry about all that for now

You can do anything you set your mind to . . . never be afraid to ask for help (from family, friends, university, professors, clergy, counselors, doctors, online).
