It's a bit old, but this book is very commonly recommended for psych grad school and is probs in your library: https://www.amazon.com/Getting-Step-Step-Admission-Psychology/dp/1591477999/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1536719364&sr=8-1&keywords=getting+in+psychology
Your department may also have this giant hunk: https://www.amazon.com/Graduate-Psychology-American-Psychological-Association/dp/1433828111
You can also email the department head and ask if they have any presentations or meetings on the grad school process. This is pretty common in psych programs. You may also want to set up an appointment at your career center.
If you have any specific questions, please feel free to ask. I'm getting my doctorate in Counseling Psych.
Well, nearly all forensic track programs are tracks in clinical programs. As I said, I guess some might be out of school or counseling psych, but that seems rarer.
(You're saying 'combine' which makes me think there might be a misunderstanding. Forensic psychology as a practitioner profession is always a subfield of clinical, counseling, or school psych. Other research psychologists might study criminals. And other fields may have forensic doctorates. But the only way to be a practicing forensic psychologist is to get a clinical/counseling/school degree with a forensic track.)
When you say you're having trouble finding programs, I'm not sure where you're looking. I typed "clinical forensic phd" into google and a bunch popped up. No idea if they're any good, but plenty exist.
If you're really motivated to go to graduate school for a doctorate, you need to look at the full list of APA-accredited doctoral programs and find out which ones offer the tracks you want. You can find this on their websites or you can shell out for a copy of the APA Graduate School Directory. Make a spreadsheet with all of your options and go from there.
FIT may be a reach, but the usual advice is to apply to several programs in equal thirds of the following categories (programs that you’ll definitely be admitted to, programs that you’ll probably be admitted to, & programs that are a reach).
I think taking the GRE is a great idea! You should also strongly consider taking a study course.
The APA publishes data on GPA, GRE, etc. for almost every graduate program in America. APA Graduate Study
Good luck!
