<p>Like wgmcp101 said, Pitt has a bunch of great opportunities for the psych majors thanks to the graduate level department and the other departments. HOWEVER, Psych is one of the biggest majors on campus and that comes with a few caveats.</p>
<p>My roommate senior year was a psych major, as were a few other friends. One of the first things they will tell you is that only 1 of every 3 people will get into graduate school. It’s hard to do in the first place and you’re competing with a LOT of people to get in. Luckily my roommate was pre-med and didn’t have to worry about that, but my other friend didn’t get in anywhere and ended up doing TFA post-graduation instead.</p>
<p>With that said, if psych is what you really want to do, get involved early. Talk to your professors. Do research. Volunteer. Get good grades. Do well on your GRE (or the equivalent test for Psych grad school if there is one). You will absolutely need to shine as much as possible if you want to get into a good grad school. Pitt can help you by telling you about their opportunities, but you need to have the initiative to take them and do the best you can with them.</p>
