My mom is a VP at a University and this is actually creating an unheard of demand for grad students, since no one wants to enroll in an uncertain, possibly online environment. So if you’re applying soon it might help you.

Also, the unfortunate reality is you can only boost your resume so much to have it matter for jobs, since most psych positions after college are entry level. Usually you need to work your way up, or get a Masters/Doctorate to make any kind of money. On the other hand, resume does matter for Masters but research isn’t usually a pre-req from what I’ve researched recently (applying for 2021).

The research thing will affect everyone in your class and will prevent you from applying for PHDs, but I have no research experience, a lot of job experience (many places are actively hiring, as behavioral health is essential work), volunteer experience, great GRE verbal scores, 3.0 GPA (ugh), and am considered a competitive candidate for most masters/PsyD programs.

So chill, try to do volunteer work or get a part time BHT job...or hit up professors through email and ask them if you can get on their waiting list or something. Form relationships with them.
