What to do after application cycle ends with all rejections
Yep replied to Yep's topic in Psychology Forum
Sorry, let me clear some questions. Yes i was offered a partial funded masters in Mental Health Counseling. I have a clinical psychology masters that focused on research (so no clinical hours or ability for licensure). I contacted the advisor today so I have not gotten a response. I've been struggling to find research opportunities outside of school so I thought this might be an option. -
Hey Everyone, So After applying to 10 programs, interviewing with 3, and being rejected by all, I am at a crossroads with my academic career. I am thriving to pursue a PH.D in counseling psychology or clinical psychology and I wanted some insight on what other applicants who were or are in my shoes will be doing for the upcoming year until the next application cycle starts. Personally, I am looking into a route in mental health counseling. Despite having a clinical psychology research degree, I was accepted to Fordham's master's program with SCHOLARSHIP & Assistantship. In addition, the academic advisor I was given is the same faculty member I applied to work with in the PH.D program. I am thinking that going for a year to install new pieces to my resume might be the boost I need to get accepted into a PH.D program. Any insight or criticism is greatly appreciated.

I was wondering if I can get an outside eye on my statement of purpose. Specifically, the portion on why I want to be a psychologist. I believe it is decent but don't know what else to add. Any help/addition is appreciated "The reason I want to be a psychologist is to expand the psychological treatment services offered and implemented to males. While research has grown over the last 15 years, many professionals in the field are unaware of the discrepancy in males being diagnosed with depression or the idea of males suppressing or “masking” their symptoms. Because of that, I want to integrate the latest research literature to the assessment of males. The qualities I possess that are important for my future as a psychologist are: my work ethic gives me the ability to work on multiple projects at once while being able to give each project my full attention, as well as my commitment to providing empirically based interventions. From a cultural standpoint, I am observant of the impact culture has on psychological assessment. I want to be able to provide diverse populations proper treatment in order to be effective."

Hello everyone, I am applying to Clinical & counseling programs and currently working out the kinks in my Statement of Purpose. Here is what I got so far: "Upon graduating from my bachelors at ###, I chose to further my development in research and statistics at #### program. There, I produced a thesis proposal......" and that is as far as I got lol. Helpful tips or examples would be so appreciated. I keep running into mental road blocks when I attempt to write my SOP

That a big bump up. are those scores good enough for you?
-
I think if I was to take it again, I would need to study again because I just lost my confidence. Can I ask what were your scores?
-
The verbal I felt I struggled in speed and retention of my studying. The math I didn't feel like I struggled. I was quick and was getting the answers I wanted. I can only assume it was test anxiety or I had horrible luck that day. After going through these forums, I can see that students give their entire lives to prepping for the GRE. I could study more I guess and quit my job...
-
Im totally agree that the verbal section is harder to get through than quant. I see people take practice tests before studying and score in 90th percentile to start off. I guess my environment didn't use GRE words in their Vocabulary lol.
-
I am leaning towards practicing, but I love working on the research side as well. Maybe looking into Psy.D's. I am a huge supporter of magoosh, I just don't know what happened. I typically score high in the quant sections overall (161-164) and was shocked to see my unofficial math score. I studied for 3 full months at 15-16 hrs per week during that timeframe.
-
I don't think I would be able to do that unfortunately.
-
I am Reading this forum and I'm impressed with everyone's abilities. I did really poor in comparison to my practice scores. Does anyone have specific advice to improve verbal skills? I really struggle with critical thinking aspect of the fill in the blank answers and feel like most of the word options are out of my range.

Hey Everyone, I'm down in the dumps currently. I was able to take the GRE for the third time & my scores did not improve (150 v, 151 Q). I honestly feel like my goal to get into a counseling or clinical program is slipping. I have a masters in Clinical psychology with a focus in research. I have multiple poster presentations, a 4.0 GPA, and a finished thesis in Masculine Depression. I am looking for any advice on what to use to improve my GRE or what routes are available for me besides PH.D. Thank you for taking the time for responding.

I applied to CSULB, California Lutheran University (currently in), CSUF, CSUSB, CSUN, and the Masters in psychology at pepperdine.

Research And GRE scores can really get you in the door for an interview. Be ready to explain the low GPA (low for being competitive) and have back up statistics showing GPA in psych only courses, or courses in the last two years. When applying, you must look into what the faculty is researching and whether it matches your research experience. THose are a couple tips i think can push into the right direction.

Hey Everyone! So I finally chose a clinical program & I am excited for the next part of my learning, But now what? I would love any insight whether it has to do with clinical psychology grad programs or grad school in general. Im so pumped and hoping some insight will put me in a great position to start the semester.

Still Haven't Heard from California State University Long Beach (CSULB). I applied to their master of psychology research degree in February, was interviewed in March and I was told they have not made any decisions....... This is Crazy! my number 1 school would be the last school to tell me if I am in or not. I want to go there so bad! Hopefully by June 1st, they will let me know what is happening.....Hopefully.

Question about review after interview
Yep replied to SLP2Bhopefully's topic in Speech-Language Pathology Forum
Hey, while I don't know exactly how they determine applicants after an interview, I do have a question. Do you specifically talk to the person that interviewed you after the interview process? I ask because i was interviewed by the professor i want to mentor with and haven't heard back for about 3 weeks. I do not know if its appropriate to contact him and ask for an update or if he made any decisions.
