Carrer choice - psychology (about colleges, how to prepare, what it includes) PLS HELP?

Hi. You asked a lot of questions, so please bear with me if this answer gets lengthy. To become a psychologist, you will need first do very well in high school; preferably a 3.5 GPA to be competitive enough to make it into top tier universities. Then you will need to be certain that psychology is what you want to do with your life, because it will take you at least eight years before you can earn your doctorate degree, take the exam, become licensed and start practicing. You will have to take some science courses while you're in your undergraduate schooling, but usually, depending on what you choose to take, they are not that hard to p with at least a B-. You will spend four years in undergraduate schooling, working on your Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science Degree with a major in Psychology. You will want to maintain a 3.5 GPA here too in order to gain acceptance into graduate school. In graduate School you will focus on specific cles that will allow you to one day become a Licensed Clinical Psychologist. Therefore, you will be taking cles under the program Clinical Psychology. In order to get your doctorate, you (most likely) will be required to maintain at least a 3.0 ulative GPA. Most schools will require you to p each and every cl with at least a B and if you fail to do so will be placed on probation. If you do not bring it up to a B, you can be kicked out! Whether or not one is successful depends on how willing the student is to study, get good grades, finish on time, and if he/she is pionate about the field.
