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??...

Has anyone heard anything from the following schools? Even if it's just a timeline or an interview weekend?
VCU - Counseling psychology
University of Maine - Clinical
Western Michigan University - Clinical
Duquesne University - Clinical
Thanks! I've been accepted to what I think is currently my top choice program and I don't want to keep them waiting until April 15... but I don't know when these programs will (if at all) get back to me?
Also, at what point is it OK to call a school and ask about decisions? For example, if an application deadline was Jan. 15, when can I call and ask?
