If you're planning to go into the clinical practice side of the field and you would like to increase your income potential, you might want to look into states which offer prescribing privileges to PhD level psychologists (they usually require a little extra training in clinical pharmacology and supervision for several years). Mixing some prescription appointments in with your therapy clients in those states can apparently make you some very good money. There are only a handful of states offering it at this time, but the movement is growing nationally, so by the time we graduate there will likely be even more states in which it is allowed.
This is already on my list of career goals! I just hope more states allow it, because personally I'm not interested in living in any of the states that currently have it haha.....

Could I ask if you have that google link handy you could post here?
If not, I will try and remember where I last saw it and will edit to post beneath this sentence. Thanks!

Hardest graduate area to get into (by acceptance rate%).
One of the lowest income/time.
Makes sense.
Why do we do this to ourselves lol
Seriously, some days I wonder why I didn't go the med school route and match into psychiatry instead -___-

A million+ programs decided on Feb. 1st or Feb. 4th this year. Pretty unfair for applicants honestly to not share this information BEFORE we decided to apply for schools ????
I like what CUDCP is doing with posting all their dates on a calendar. APA should create a centralized calendar or system for all of their programs to post and make it part of APA accred requirements =P

To those who have been invited/accepted - do you believe that relevant clinical experience or relevant research experience holds more sway over the other? (i.e. if you had to pick).
Depends on the program and where they fall on the clinical/research spectrum. My PsyD programs have been far more impressed by my clinical rather than research experience, understandably. Some of the balanced PhD programs like clinical experience. Obviously the APCS schools will REALLY prefer research experience.

Poster on the results page for Yeshiva/Ferkauf who got an interview invite, was that for the Adult PsyD or the Child PsyD?

Folks who reported Immaculata results on the Google spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hJFI7od93wXNHfLiUl0pv4lPUsueRmVg_6N85xgFQd8/edit#gid=0), was this via mass email?

Drexel poster who just posted today (to the results page), who was your POI?

I dreamt last night that I got an invite to FDU. Very specific dream, as you can see. That's all that happened in the dream - I looked at my email.
Obsession slowly becomes madness....

Scared the shit out of me. Thought this was the clinical psych thread for a second.
It is xD We're just dumping both clinical and counseling in here though, since so many folks have applied to both / they're practically the same thing nowadays.

I've been really struggling when faculty ask me whether I have any non-research-related questions for them. I'm a neurotic who has scoured every inch of the department websites so I feel like I already know everything there is to know about the program, and I'm seriously struggling to come up with questions. What are some that y'all like to use?

Hiiii! I'll PM you about CHC specifically too since I just did their interview
In general they are assessing for "fit" in terms of their idea of what makes a good clinician. So expect questions about why their program, what are your views on mental health, what theory speaks to you, what kinds of populations you want to work with or believe are underserved, what kind of prac experiences do you want, and what you want to do in the future. There will be some research questions but they do want to weed out the folks who are all-in on research as that would not be a good fit. So emphasize that you want to have the well rounded experience of research, and clinical, and supervision, and teaching, and program design/eval, etc.

Does anyone know if there is hope getting accepted off of the waitlist? I had a phone interview with Wayne State (IO) and my POI said I was on the “short list”? I’m not even sure what the means exactly. I assume that means waitlist but does anyone know the difference between the two? ?
The "short list" is the list of folks that they are considering bringing in for an interview and/or admitting (I'm not sure how I/O does interviewing). Basically, you're under consideration
This is good!

Friend who applied to Duke has not heard anything yet
Anyone else's anxiety spiking every time their phone buzzes/chimes from a new email? Haha....

Which program for Yeshiva?
PsyD Adult Clinical

If anyone applied to Springfield's PsyD, I heard back from my admissions counselor that invites will be extended the "first week of February". Interview dates are 2/15 or 2/22.

I applied, but wasn't expecting to hear back until much later. Do you think they'll get back to us this soon?
The admissions counselor I contacted said that interview date is "late January to early February", so I hope we hear back soon! I'm paranoid about travel plans and like to know weeks in advance haha.
EDIT: Person who reported an interview from Fairleigh Dickinson on the Google spreadsheet, was it a mass email?

If the program is anywhere in the mid-Western US, we just got hit with a record breaking winter storm and tons of places closed early Thursday and Friday due to the storm (and a lot of people have lost power as well). So if the school is in that area, I would give it to Wednesday before I would expect to hear back (1/3 of my city is still without power so even if POIs are safe at home, they may not have internet to send emails).
Yikes. Stay safe!

Anyone heard from Yeshiva?
Fingers crossed for lots of interview invites this week! It seems to be a popular one.
