Thanks so much for your response, kellyfussman! That's really helpful. I'm definitely looking forward to hearing back. I visited the program last fall and I absolutely loved it! I've had most of my official questions answered while visiting or by Dr. Ricketts, but I'd love to hear a student perspective. What surprised you about the program? Have you gotten the clinical placements you wanted? I know that Vanderbilt's 1-on-1 supervision model is different than many other schools -- what has that been like? I'm interested in research and talked to Dr. Ricketts about the thesis track -- do many students pursue a thesis, or work in professor's labs?
