I will definitely try to consult with some profs before making a decision on what programs to apply but my conundrum is I don't have any profs at my tiny undergrad school that know anything about quant (probably no surprise there), and I can't really just email those that might actually have some information about making this type of decision (i.e. quant psych profs at other schools) because I'll seem like a crazy person. (sigh)....I guees relying on "anonymous dopes" it is.

Hello All, Fall 2013 applicant here. I was just wondering if anyone has been "nudged" towards a particular subfield in psychology based on demand in the field? Specifically, I'm trying to decide between applying to clinical or quantitative PhD. programs. Ultimately, I want to work as a faculty member an R1 school so I'm trying to pick the option that will maximize the chances that I can get that job. I can really see myself doing either of these tracks because my future research will probably include components from both. Thus, if I go clinical, I will probably minor in quantitative methods. Alternately, if I go quantitative, I'll probably take quite a few clinical courses. Any advice in deciding what area to apply in ( or any other application tips!) would be much appreciated !
