Pals - I've been accepted to the MA Clinical & Community psy. program to the Point Park University. Little college - but quite good program with an emphasis on the Existentialism and Humanistic Psychology and with quite cool dean. The problem is - they give only 3000$ per year stipend. Now they are looking for the assistantship opportunities - but I also am not sitting idly - trying to search finances. So if someone can suggest some sources (I am an international student - that's a real problem) - I'll be more than happy!

I should add Pacific is well known for dealing with humanistic and transpersonal paradigm - quite rare things!

It's usual for PsyD programs - more practice-oriented - larger classes, less researches. It is so called Vail model

Well officially you have time till 15 of April (at most of the Schools). I thing they understand that there is kind a 'tradition' to apply more than the one program

That is easier but I'm worrying cause my degree is 5 years in a row degree - it can be considered as basic psychology BS + MA in counseling psy (if they will scrutinize my transcript). Something like changing priority - I'll explain it as a wish to strengthen my research skills e.t.c.

Pals I'm looking forward to apply to the clinical doctorate. But as I do have Russian degree from not very well known univ I was not successful - so I'm looking forward to apply to the W&M MA program - experimental program but with the POI (who even has papers matches my topic). The problem is - my original degree is equal (wes-evaluated) as an MA in counseling psy. Can they automatically decline me?

Anyone heard anything from the Arizona State Univ. Counseling Psy PhD program?

Pal, that's important to know that it is only about FOrdham COUNSELING not CLINICAL PhD program (as far as I know). I think it's completely normal to ask about skype interview.

That's an absolutely normal practice =) Go on. And good luck

That's me and yep I e-mailed first. It's not a clear rejection - I'm not in the interviewee list....that's it

I'd say - the problem is they lay on the verbal GRE. Even reading loads of psych articles (as I'm working as a lecturer now, so - I have to read) have nothing in common with preparing to the GRE verbal - quite different vocab. High TOEFL doesn't help. And spmetimes it is hard to move through the very first shift when they sometimes do not even read your papers - just sort you out checking your GPA/GRE

Yep - lottery. When reading some articles by actual doctoral students I think - I'm not worse.......mmmm GPA 3.88....problem is GRE? =((( HEck

Haha.....It weighed more then 5 yrs of experience.....and some articles published
