NSSR Admitted Student Orientation
Aspiring Shrink replied to Aspiring Shrink's topic in Psychology Forum
I know the tuition is ridiculous. Do you have other acceptances or are you waiting it out? -

NSSR Admitted Student Orientation
Aspiring Shrink replied to Aspiring Shrink's topic in Psychology Forum
Thank you that is very helpful. I was actually wondering about that, it doesn't seem like a suit type of school, but I do want to make a good impression. What were most people wearing? -

Are you going to the admitted student orientation? Is there anything I should know going in? What's the general dress code? What do you know about The New School's Psychology program?

Hi, I have been accepted to the Psychology program (MA). I received a letter in the mail on Monday (3/15). Does anyone have any info to share about the program? What is it like? Is it hard to get into the PhD program? What's the general demographic? I don't know much about the program, though I love the location and the fact that it is liberal and diverse. I wish you all the best of luck and hope to see you in the Fall. -A. Shrink

I have applied to NYU and CUNY and haven't been contacted since I have submitted my applications in December. No interview no wait-list. Do you think I have any chance of getting in or are they just too busy (or rude) to let me know that I was rejected?

Though, I can't offer much advice, I appreciate your clear description of the issue at hand. I am in the same boat. I have a nice offer from a school in FL that has a great funding package but isn't the focus I really want and an offer in NYC that is really expensive. At what point is it not worth it?
-
I am reluctant to contact a few schools who haven't yet responded. From what I'm seeing most of the applicants who requests a status update seems to get rejected. Now I don't think that they reject accepted students based on their inquiry, but I wonder if they view inquiries as annoying and perhaps an easy way to lessen the great amount of applicants by removing them from the big pile, just because they had a question. Or on a more rational note, most the people that need to inquire are more likely to get rejected being that they weren't accepted for the first round. Am I crazy? Does anyone

Decisions: perfect fit or sexy funding package?
Aspiring Shrink replied to Victorianna's topic in Decisions, Decisions
Given the financial benefits and the fact that they really want you, I would choose #2. However if #1 is your dream school and you will be satisfied with an MA and might regret not going there for the rest of your life, that ain't worth all the money in the world. Good luck! -
Hello, Luckily, I have been accepted into two programs, a developmental psychology PhD program at FIU (though I can get my MA in mental health counseling) and a general psych. MA program that leads to a clinical psych. PhD, at The New School (students must complete an MA in general psych at this program before applying to the PhD program, though acceptance isn't guaranteed (3/4 chance)). Now the issue is that I would like to get a PhD clinical psychology. Although I enjoy research and teaching, I would like to get strong cliicl training. Although I am not very familiar with the prog

Though aggravating, it doesn't necessarily mean rejection. Did you apply for an MA or PhD? MA programs sometimes give responses later Some schools are swamped with apps and haven't had time to sort through them all. But if you haven't heard a thing yet, I don't think it would be rude for you to call the office or email the POI and inquire about the status of your application. Let us know how things work out. Good luck, A. Shrink

Good Week Gone Bad
Aspiring Shrink commented on pea-jay's blog entry in Pea-Jay's Educational Journey
Pea-Jay, That does sound like a bummer week, but you need to focus on individual victories, you got into NYU, that's huge. They generally have good funding, given the economic climate that may change but take one year at a time, after the first year I believe it's easier to get TA's and RA's. So even if your paying in full the first year chances are you'll have ore available to you the following year. Also work on your relationship, take your wife out and talk to her, so many relationships fizzle away due to miscommunication and lack of dialogue. You don't need to have all of the answe -
