Short version: You'd be looking at PsyD programs if you want the clinical experience
Long version: Get a copy of the Insider's Guide to Clinical and Counseling Psychology Programs. It rates each program on a scale of 1-7, with 1 being heavy emphasis on clinical and 7 being heavy emphasis on research. You can judge programs on that scale.

an ode to 2019 applicants
- it's okay to cry, but don't lose hope
- it's okay to feel hopeless, but never let go of your dreams
- it's okay to question your dreams, however, don't lose sight of the vision

Just got rejected from my top choice (Northeastern). I got the news at my job, in-between counseling appointments. I had to excuse myself to go ugly cry in the bathroom. 
This sucks.

Suffolk poster on the results page - who was your POI? That's a super fast turnaround time!

Noticing a lot of Ohio State acceptances on the results page, congrats everyone!

Good Afternoon,
I was recently waitlisted post interview at my top choice.
I have confirmed I would like to stay on the waitlist. I would like to stay relevant in my POIs mind.
What would anyone suggest emailing for a status update?

School: University of Florida
Concentration: Counseling
Type: PhD
Date of acceptance: 2/26/19
Notified by: Email from POI to set up a phone call. (PM for POI)

A counseling psych program should also give you training in assessment and diagnosis. Look at the course list and student handbook for the counseling program. In practice, counseling psychology and clinical psychology are very similar. 
Note: there is a difference between a doctorate in counseling and a doctorate in counseling psychology. I'm assuming the program is counseling psych?

I think I've forgotten how to not be stressed.
I have all my results from programs now and I'm still checking the results page obsessively. I don't know what I'm trying to find lol.

I would upvote this x100 if I could. This is such a mood. 

Ughhhh. Why would a program say they would have results out by the end of last week if they're not going to make it happen? My mind is just constantly going to the worst case scenario. 

My landlord reached out to find out whether I wanted to renew my lease which expires at the end of next month. I informed him he is on my wait list.

Honestly????? I'm so anxious???? I can't stop thinking about these schools???? I haven't heard from any of the 3 I interviewed for what the hell is going on 

I asked my psych to up my anxiolytics because this process is causing my hair to literally fall out. Ughhhh.

Everyone else has given you great advice so I don't have anything to add, but I just had to LOL at this. I've run into some bizarre interests of professors before but this takes the cake.

I just formally accepted my offer from Berkeley for their School Psychology PhD program- super excited!

Alright we need one of these threads now that folks are starting to decide. So please share - where will you be in the fall?!
Congrats everyone!!

still can't believe it

School: University of Florida
Concentration: Clinical (neuropsychology/cognitive neuroscience track)
Type: PhD
Date of acceptance: 3/1/2019
Notified by: Email from graduate program director.
POI initials available on request. Very strongly considering this offer--program seems fantastic--but waiting on 2 other schools.

I'm in an similar boat. Some Stuff (tm) happened during this interview cycle that put me into the position of REALLY needing a fully funded program. Initially I was going to be happy with partial funding + taking out loans, but that's not the case anymore. All three of my current offers are not funded, and of the fully-funded programs I applied to, three rejected me and two have been radio silence since interview day. Sighh

I can't upvote this enough. My life for the past year and counting.
