Hi everyone!
I only recently decide to apply to clinical psych PhD this fall. I know this forum is a great site and if anyone can give my ANY comments that will be great!
- My school is ranked top 3 Canadian university (CGpa 3.6, recent 1 year 3.8)
- 1.5 years research experience in cognitive psych labs, no publication though. One poster presentation at school.
- I can get two good but not super strong recommendation letters. Though I am still looking for the third one.
- 1 year volunteer experience in a speech clinic.
- GRE V163, Q160, AW 3.5. GRE psych 86% percentile overall
I am going to apply to the universities in eastern major cities (unfortunately I need to have geographical restriction due to a commitment to long-term relationship). My financial situation is a disaster now so I can only apply to the fully funded programs. I intend to apply 6 schools, 3 clinical (neuropsych or focus on ASD/ developmental psychopathology preferred) and 3 developmental/cognitive phD programs. Do you have any recommended schools/ programs? or is it realistic to apply this year? because I really want to save every cents if I know my application has a very slight chance.
