Appreciate all of the constructive feedback! To clarify, I only applied to PsyD programs, and am comparing solely amongst those.

Thank you!

I'm currently deciding between two schools (PGSP and Pepperdine), and it seems like there's no wrong choice! Both programs provide an amazing education, and within the psych community have great reputations. The questions that I keep coming back to are: 1) How much do stats matter if they're still top 25 schools, and 2) how much does a school's "reputation" to the layperson matter? (e.g.: If you have a private practice, would a client be more likely to seek a psychologist from Pepperdine versus Palo Alto University) Can anyone speak to either of these from experience?

I'm anxiously waiting to hear back from UC Berkeley's clinical psych program - they said e-mails will be sent today! Has anyone received any fantastic news yet?
