  1. I am considering offers of admission from both schools and am having some trouble narrowing it down. Does anyone have any additional insight on things to consider? Both schools are similar on paper in terms of match rates/EPPP pass rates. As I will be coming in with an MA, Spalding has 4+1 option (4 years classes + 1 year internship), and Wright State has a 3+1 option that is not recommended, so I will likely be looking at 4+1 regardless of which school I attend. Location is not really an issue for me. I simply want to do the best thing in terms of education... Similarly, both programs appear to be a good fit for me personally, and in terms of research interests/area of emphasis. Here's what I am considering with both schools: Spalding PsyD (2014-2015 outcome) EPPP pass rate: 64% (roughly) Students Who Obtained APA/CPA Accredited Internship: 86% Licensure Rate: 89% Profs seem to have a more genuine interest in success of their students Wright State PsyD (2014-2015 outcome) EPPP Pass Rate: 79% (roughly) Students Who Obtained APA/CPA Accredited Internship: 82.43% Licensure Rate: 86% Out of state tuition will be rough for the first year Wright State seems to produce consistently higher APA/CPA accred. internship rates over the years (69%-88% - typically in the high 80's/just below 90's range), while Spalding seems to bounce around from 67%-86% throughout the years. Wright State also seems a bit disorganized and has not been great about responding to questions throughout the application process, although I don't know if that should reflect on the program itself, necessarily. Students at both schools appeared satisfied (i.e., not burnt out) but I noticed students spoke more highly of Spalding, overall. Both programs have a price tag in the 90k-96k range, but Spalding offers significantly better funding. Does anyone have any personal experience/insight with these schools? Are there other things I should be considering?
  2. This is so very relevant to my situation. I fell in love with one of my top choices at interview day, only to find out I'm wait listed. They don't appear terribly organized in terms of communicating wait list status, etc and I'm not sure if I should find that worrisome. The waiting is definitely the worst part of all. I almost wonder if a rejection would've been easier to deal with. So glad we have this forum! Here's hoping for good news for everyone, and soon!
  3. After receiving a MA that put me in significant debt, I have entered my first application cycle and I am not feeling optimistic. I applied to 6 schools and got 3 interviews. I was wait listed after 1 interview and have 2 interviews left to go. I can't help but think to backup plans because I just don't feel competitive enough for a psyD. My options are also significantly limited by cost. Nonetheless, I am not even halfway through the application cycle and I am feeling discouraged. My research background is not particularly strong, neither are my GRE scores. I've looked through many of the previous threads here but feel more confused than ever. Im still new to all of this, but...Am I out of my league? My questions are: is it common for people to apply multiple years in a row for programs? / is it worth it? is it common to get off the wait list? / if I don't, should I reapply next year? are there viable backup options for working in the clinical field with just a masters?
