Thanks for your input. I will look into Hunters program. Does any one have any personal experience with the MA programs at NSSR, Columbia and NYU. What are the MA programs that a high percentage of students get into a doctoral program?

Hello, I have recently discovered my passion for psychology and as researching some graduate programs. My undergrad gpa was not excellent and i did no research during undergrad. I have come to terms that in order to get into a clinical psych program, I will have to get my masters. However I have been encountering some trouble. It seems like a lot of programs don't give students the mentorship needed in order to admit them into their own phd program. In fact many of the schools that have a terminal masters option rarely admit those students to the phd program. I was very disappointed, until I came across the New School for Social Research! Their PHD program admit students who come from their MA program, and it seems to me that this school allows the students the opportunity to connect with a mentor and get some research experience. Although it is probably very competitive to gain acceptance to the Phd program, it seems like an environment that would nurture a student's potential. Although I am new to the research of grad programs, I have not found any other program similar to this. I was wondering if there were any other Clinical psych programs in which applicants can apply to the MA program, be exposed to extensive research opportunities, be prepared for doctoral programs, and admit students from their MA cohort?
