Frontal lobes

Hello, Just to give you another perspective of an international applicant, I have four PhD clinical psych interviews out of six program's I have applied to. I only applied to those offering every students full funding plus stipend. However, I also have a masters (from UK), clinical experience, and currently working in the US as a research assistant under a well know professor in my field - and multiple first author and coauthor pubs as well as numerous poster presentation. My point is not to blow my own trumpet but to point out the fact that if you are good then being international weighs very low in the list of what they look for. Good universities and program's have money and it is more important to them (if they are good) to have good people they an commit to for 5+ years. Universities are diverse and full if students from all over the world . My advice to you would be Yes a masters in the UK is a great idea but make sure it is in an area directly in the area you intend on focusing on later. Publications (at least one 1st author) are crucial as are presentations. However, if you could get an RA position in the US then thats even better than the masters but that may be hard to do( I had a contact). I just think its hard to break into the US clinical grad school thing without people there who an recommend you. Good Luck!

Hi all! Does anyone know if Stony Brook have sent out any invites for the clinical program yet? I saw a rejection on the results page but not any invites...
