Thank you very much, it's good to hear about both sides. I've applied to masters and PhD programs, so it could go either way at this point.

I used the Kaplan GRE book, it comes with an online component that allows you to make your own and take pre-made tests and quizzes. It was really helpful for me, so you might consider that,

I am in my final year of undergrad, and I had the craziest semester juggling a job, internship, coursework and finding time to do graduate applications. I was so focused on getting this done, and getting that done I never really even gave so much thought to what if I get in and what if I don't get in?!?! Now it's winter break and with all this free time all of this anxiety has started rushing in and I'm kinda freaking out.

Sorry if I am repeating at topic/thread! I have applied to a couple PhD programs in Counseling Psychology and a Masters program in Counseling. I have some direction in terms of what I want to do, I do not want to stray too far from psychology as that is what I have studied for the past four years but I am also really interested in therapy. I have considered university counseling center's, teaching at the university level, research... I want to know more about what the benefits are for going for a PhD rather than settling for an LPC and teaching and doing therapy with an LPC. Thank you!
