anyone know anything about the applied clincal psych masters at penn state harrisburg? I have an interview with them tomorrow. is it very research-oriented or more clinical? Obviously I'll get a better sense tomorrow but I'd like to have some knowledge of the program before going in to my interview

still on the waitlist for a clinical PhD program! I assume the person holding the offer is waitlisted for another school higher up on their list and is waiting to hear back from them. I can't wait another week ? I also applied to the Penn State Harrisburg Masters in applied clinical psych at the last minute. Was told they still had spots open and I'd hear back from them within a week or two (this was 2 weeks ago, of course). Anyone have any insight about that program?

Let's say I decide to go but am never accepted into a PhD program afterwards. Are there research jobs out there requiring a master's that pay well enough to reasonably justify taking out loans? I know research associates don't make much more than research assistants, at least from the searching I've done. And those jobs require masters degrees.

Hi all, I was rejected for the Catholic University of America clinical PhD program but was offered a spot in their MA psychological science program. Although it's not clinical, they bragged that all of their masters students who applied to PhD programs (including clinical) this year received offers. Is it worth it for me to accept their offer and try to reapply to clinical PhD programs in the future? Or will this not make me a more competitive candidate? I'm waiting to hear back about financial aid because this program is very expensive, as is the cost of living in DC. I'm worried that they already awarded all of their available scholarships/assistantships to those who applied directly to the masters program back in January ? Still hoping that I get in to UNC Greensboro (clinical PhD) off of the waitlist.

Anyone holding on to an acceptance from UNCG with the intention of releasing? Not trying to put pressure on anyone, just thought I'd ask ?

Feel this so much! I'll bet people with offers are waiting to hear back from other programs or are also waitlisted themselves. Presumably things should start moving in the next few weeks as the schools with later interviews (I know my friend interviewed at Northwestern last week) send out their admission updates.

Anyone hear back from Saint John's? I was told they are meeting today and I'm not sure if that means that acceptances are going out today or if they'll start making calls later in the week.

The WORST thing is some schools already put you on their grad student newsletter or send you info about upcoming events before they've even made admissions decisions so you get a heart attack every time you see their name pop up

For those of you who have completed a masters prior to applying for clinical PhDs, did you receive an MA/MS in clinical psychology or general psychology? Going off this list of programs someone provided: https://clinicalpsychphd.wordpress.com/2014/04/30/funded-psychology-masters-programs/ and it seems only a select few are actually masters in clinical psych. What other masters psych programs do research and prep you for a PhD in clinical psych?

Y'all I'm so frustrated. My interview was a month ago. I emailed prof a little over a week ago, no response. Emailed DCT yesterday, no response. I don't know what else to do. I'm assuming rejection because two people have posted acceptances. What else can I do to get a response?

absolutely nothing. even if they do respond, that's no indicator either way of your chances

Who is your poi if you don’t mind? You can DM if you don’t want to post here

anyone hear from Ohio Univ post interview? Saw one acceptance 2/8 but I'm inclined to think it was a troll.

anyone hear from UNC-greensboro SPK? Freaking out. No one has posted about her specifically on the results section but that doesn't mean she hasn't extended an offer already ?

I reached out to my POI expressing that I was still interested and requested an admissions update. This was on Tuesday and I haven't heard back. Not sure if he missed my email, if they're still deliberating, still have to go through all that red tape, etc.
