go to the funded masters programs e.g., villanova or william and mary! I think those are known for their masters programs. I don't know if the rank of the clinical phd program in the school matters, unless there is a high acceptance rate for there masters to go into that particular schools phd. hope that helps! I'm biased towards the strong general masters.
I recieved a generic email, saying click the link (i figured it was a rejection) but then it turned out to be an acceptance. Since then I have yet to hear from the PI or the program to give more details. Has anyone else had this experience?
