Hi! My top choice is an APA and NASP approved school. Now, I am trying to pick out a couple of backup schools. My top choice is great--if I want to switch to the Ph.D. track (later on), it's not a big deal. Which programs are you/have you applied to? Would you eventually like to teach it? Are Ph.D. programs better than Psy.D programs? -Nilani

I am always looking to improve my writing. Does anyone know of grammar courses (in person, not online) for professionals? As a refresher, I bought a couple of grammar books (Strunk & White, etc.). Don't get me wrong, I like to read. I feel as though it would be so much easier to absorb this information in a classroom setting.

This post is in two parts: 1) I am applying to grad schools for school psychology. I am really excited--I love working with kids. The other day, I saw that Yeshiva University offers a Psy.D. in school psychology-clinical child psychology. Are there any other schools in my area (NY/CT) which offer this dual combination degree? The dual degree seems like an excellent idea. Let me quickly explain my career goals. I want to be able to work in a school system AND do private practice work (on the side). Can school psychologists work in private practice? Or, must you also be certified as a clinical child psychologist? And what's the deal with CT? Are there ways in becoming certified in child psychology after completing a Specialist Degree (and Ph.D.) in school psych? If anyone can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks! 2) Which universities have you applied to? How come you chose that program?

Hey, Does anyone know of schools that are open to cognitive neuroscience and music research? I know that Harvard has a research lab with music as does McGill University... are there any other ones? Thanks! -Nilani
