Thanks for the replys everyone. I dunno, although I love this forum, it really just depresses me. Everyone on here seems very qualified. And that is great, but I wish I was one of those people. I just feel kind of annoyed when people complain about getting 1150 or 1200 GRE scores. I would love a score like that. How did everyone do on their subject test scores? I got a 630, which is decent, but obviously I wish I would have done a little better. I guess I am just happy I didn't bomb it, like my general test. lol I am left with 4 masters program applications to turn in. I have a week or 2 to really work hard before I turn them in. Does anyone have any suggestions that would help me succeed in writing my SOP's for the masters programs? I would really appreciate any tips!

Hi Joro...I am really sorry to hear about your situation. That is an unfortunate situation to be in. I can't believe your LOR writer is so inconsiderate! How did everything turn out?? Hope everything went well. Take care.

So who else is applying to clinical psychology programs for Fall 2010?? Where are you applying? What are your worries? Did you get contacted by schools yet? PhD or Masters? I am applying to 10 PhD and 4 Masters Programs. I know it is a lot.. maybe? But clinical psychology is so competitive. I have 1 PhD app left, and I still have to do all 4 masters apps. I am sooooo sick of the application process. I have spent like over $2,000 in app fees, express mailing fees, GRE and transcript reports...etc. I am afraid after spending time taking the GRE twice, the subject test, all the app time, and money, that I won't be accepted to any of the programs. Maybe I am just worrying...but I feel so alone in the process. I don't know about anyone else who has applied to graduate school this year, so I feel really alone. I talk to my parents and friends and bf about it, but obviously it's hard for them to understand what I'm going through. I worry because although I have a years worth of reserach experience, it was in social psych, and not in clinical (due to the fact that there was only 1 clinical psychologist in the psych department at my current school. Also I bombed the GRE both times. 420 V and 460 Q. My GRE is the main weakness in my application. But, just knowing that will weaken my chances really bothers me. I actually already got rejected to one school, and I feel like my GRE scores are probably the main reason I wasn't considered. Ok, well I just needed to complain about clinical psychology. I hate how selective the field is! Anyone else going through something similar??...
