In general, the research oriented school. A PhD in clinical is basically a research degree - research experience is FAR more important than clinical experience when you're applying to PhD programs, especially ones that focus equally on research and practice, and the more research-oriented programs (e.g. Clinical science). If you're looking at a practice oriented PhD (rating of 2-3 or lower in grad guide to clinical programs book) than it would matter less. If you're able to get quality research experience at both places, then it won't make much of a difference. The most important thing will be your scores, your research experience, LORs, and fit with the researcher/program when you apply later.

Relatedly, wouldn't it be great if you could upload your GREs like you can your transcripts at some places? Seriously adds up...

That score will be good enough for most applicant pools. I'd focus on finding POIs with a good fit and writing a very good SOP.

Nope! When I received my only offer (which I declined) I basked in all my (average-level) narcissism! I take responsibility for my failures AND SUCCESSES!

Dress in suit. Remove jacket & tie if too formal.

YES!!!!

If you live in a big college city, you might be able to find normal people on craigslist. It's what I did freshman year - moved to a totally different place and didn't know anyone.

This. Narcissism. My smoothest interview was with a narcissist...actually it was a monologue (his)...

This....is why I hate interviews. In the same boat. Just hoping the other applicants are way worse (or way better so they'll go elsewhere...)!

I've been anxiously waiting to hear back from One University... Open my email, see "Register for University Housing" in the subject line...started feeling elated/relieved. Open it - aaaaand it's from a university that rejected me two months ago!

Character flaw

@DeltaSkelta ...I'd be thrilled even if they cringed while writing my acceptance letter !

Never been on a roller coaster.

No mine wasn't at UCF but I saw tons of postings about their speedy post-interview notifications lol! Btw...still waiting on mine, too. This must obviously mean very good news!!!! lol jk

Whew! Go me! Interview at the beginning of February! Stil nothing...at least have the courtesy to reject me.

cheese - those cheap individually wrapped slices...nasty merlot - I've had some great $5 bottles: others tasted like feet (hit or miss)

Affect (noun) - the outward expression of one's emotions to others

Allegedly, my application is incomplete. Though I sent emails to them asking them what's going on and never got a response...so either a) their website is screwed up and they have all my materials or they lost my GREs. Fantastic! Lol.
