Several years ago, one of my friends from high school, after being in some financial-related office for several years, decided to go to grad school in psychology. She got into a very competitive research program (not clinical) at a Big Ten university. She had none of the research & background everybody says you "have to" have. She got her old professors to write letters of recommendation and they didn't even remember her. And she got in at her first-choice school!
So it's certainly do-able. Have you checked out "Insider's Guide to Graduate Programs in Clinical and Counseling Psychology" yet or picked out some schools?
