Don't worry about not having a BA in psych. My wife has a Master's in psych and she had a BA in dental hygiene. You need to demonstrate that you are an intelligent person who did well in your classes. If you have life and/or work experience in which you worked with people that would be good to highlight. You'll have to learn about the brain and the nervous system, so any background there would be good. Don't let the English background stop you. You know how to write, you know how to think carefully about a topic before you begin writing. Doing research and writing reports for publication in psychology journals is an important part of being a psychologist. Emphasize your skills in those areas. Michael http://www.thepsychfiles.com

Are you serious? I'm the opposite! I have a masters in psych but now I want to get my doc in English! Crazy! Yes, you still can. There was a girl in my grad school who had an english degree but was accepted to the psych masters program. It can happen, but isn't guaranteed. The extraneous variable is the competition (other applicants) since grad schools for psych are usually very competitive. You'll be competing against other applicants, most of whom will have extensive backgrounds in psychology, therefore they will be more suited for acceptance than you, but yeah you definitey have a shot.
