Thank you for responding. I do agree about not hastily putting together an application. I do know what I want to do with my future and will definitely need to get a Ph.D for that. If I'm hesitant about a second masters it's because Its more time, however it'd should (maybe?) help if I were to apply for a doctorate program again.

Hi, I just created this account because I wanted to get others opinion. I've applied to Counseling Psych Ph.D programs and am currently wait-listed in one (that happens to be my top choice), and will go through a M.ED. interview for another. All the other schools have so far rejected me for the Ph.D. program. I currently have a MA in Psychology so I would like to avoid getting a second master's degree, however I am so anxious that I may not get into a counseling program (even though I am trying to be positive) that I'm thinking of applying to other Master of Counseling programs... that have due dates on March 1st, plus more fees, and I would need to get my recommenders to send out some more letters. I don't know if I'm being consumed by negativity and anxiety or if I'm being pragmatic. Help?
