  1. Thank you all for your replies! To Bubbala: Would you mind sharing some of your stats and what schools did you apply to? What kinds of research experiences/internships did you have that was relevant to counseling? Thanks so much!!
  2. Hello! I am really new so sorry if I am not supposed to post this topic in this forum. So I am currently a college sophomore and am very interested in applying directly to PhD. programs during my senior year without a Master degree. The reason of it is simply because a Master program seem to be costing too much, and at the same time a wasteful of time for me since I am planning on getting a PhD. degree at the end regardless. For now my top choice is the counseling psychology program (personally really interested in multicultural counseling) at Teachers College, Columbia University. Is there anyone that got accepted into the program right after graduating from college? Would you mind sharing some of your experiences and how you prepared yourselves during college? I would be highly appreciated! Here are some of my stats: 1. Domestic student (was born in the States) but grew up in Taiwan until junior year of high school. 2. Currently in a college that ranked 70s in the national universities. 3. Double majors in psychology and telecommunications with a minor in counseling. 4. Cumulative GPA 3.6 for now (I know it's kind of low but it is getting higher each semester so hopefully it will rise to at least a 3.8 before I graduate). 5. Have worked in a Speech and Hearing Science lab in my university for a year as a volunteered research assistant. I am now working in two labs (Developmental Cognition and Social Cognition) in the psychology department as a formal research assistant; as well as working on a research project as a RA with a professor in the department of education. 6. Have had intern experiences in schools, companies, education centers etc. during summers. But they are all institutes in Taiwan instead of in the States. 7. Plans for the next two years: Might turn down the developmental lab I am currently in and continue to work in the social lab, and I am planning on doing an honors thesis research with the social lab professor. Although my dream school has always been TC, anyone that is willing to give me some general advices/suggestions about how I can prepare myself to become an outstanding applicant would be appreciated! Just anything you think I am lacking now or I should be keep in mind of! I would also love to know those of you that got accepted directly to a PhD. program without a Master degree! Thank you all so much for reading this long post!
