I don't have a psychology background, but wish to get a phd in clinical psychology. I understand I will need a Masters first. Is there any online/distance education Masters in Clinical Psychology program that is well accredited ? Is there any accrediting body for Masters programs in Clinical Psychology ?

Thank you esotericorigin and acdelco.

Does not hearing back by 15th April mean rejection by default? Or does it make sense to wait for some time hoping to be accepted from wait list. In case of latter, till when should we wait before giving up all hope? are all funded programs REQUIRED to make their final decisions in April?

Thank you for your feedback

I applied to University of Toledo PhD Biomed Science program. The status of my application has been 'complete awaiting decision' since 11th jan. This is the only program I applied to. I called Thursday, April 4th and was told that my application is with department but no decision has been taken yet regarding my application. If I don't hear back by 15th April, would that automatically mean wait listed / rejection or can grad programs take decisions after 15th April too? Also, I understand some programs fill few spots after 15th April. Till when shall I wait for a program starting this fall before assuming rejection?

Thank you bamafan. This program has not interviewed the candidates till recent years and I don't know if they would include interviewing in their process this year. I spoke to the faculty member in early March and she said 'Don't panic. The selection committee will meet soon but there is no information for now.' I asked her if I shall be contacting other faculty members, she said ' we go only by merit and candidates' contacting us does not influence the decision. Just wait and relax for 2 months, if u don't hear back by end of April, that means you didn't get through'. That being said, I would not annoy the faculty by calling before April end. I appreciate. Your honest feedback.

I have applied to University of Toledo PhD Biomedical Sciences program, Cardiovascular and Metabolic Disorders track. I am a medical school graduate from India in 2007 with GPA 3.2, and was a doctor back home. I graduated with MS in health administration from University of Scranton with GPA 4.00 as 2012 Who's Who Among Students honoree and Upsilon Phi Delta honor society member. I have 4 publications in US, 1 manuscript and 3 abstracts, of which am primary author for 3 which are about healthcare administrative issues. I am just one of several authors for the fourth publication that deals with under diagnosis of obesity amongst clinicians. I also have experience of delivering my research based presentations, 1 of which was for 3 CEUs of nurses. My GRE score was 730 Q, 420 V, and 4.5 analytical writing. My application's status has been 'complete awaiting decision' since 11th jan, and a faculty member told me that I must wait till late April before assuming that I didn't make it. I am worried because my lab experience is strictly curricular, first 2.5 years of med school lab work for anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology, pharmacology, microbiology, forensic medicine. Furthermore, all my 3 recommenders were not lab supervisors but grad school mentors, 1 of whom was the Chair, who would have endorsed my skills for literature review research, dedication and work ethics, but not my lab work skills. My publications are about healthcare management but not laboratory science. This waiting period is making me very nervous since this is the only program I applied to. also, I have green card so they don't need to sponsor a visa for me. Dear colleagues, please give me your honest opinion whether you feel I will make it? I really really want to use my med school training for research :-(

Can anybody help me by answering my quesion; how long from the application dedadline does a PhD in Biomedical Science program (that doesn't coduct any iterviews) typically take to make decisions? I am still waiting to hear from a program.

Has anybody received any response from University of Toledo PhD in Biomedical Science program? The status of my application has been 'compelete awaiting decision' since 11th january and their application deadline was 15th january. I was never offered an interview, i don't even know if they interview candidates at all. I am getting nervous since that is the only program I applied to. Any insights?

Did anybody get any response to their application to University of Toledo PhD in Biomedical Science program?
