[Currently reading? (Distraction thread.)]

Right now I'm reading Democracy in America by Tocqueville and the Iliad by Homer. My New Year's Resolution was to read the Great Books of the Western World series, at least to begin it (it's over 500 works lol.) I'll be doing a lot of reading until August!

[Fall 2017 Clinical Psychology Applicants]

Has anyone heard of the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences PsyD program in Clinical Psychology? I got an email regarding the program, I have no idea if it is legitimate or not. The Doctor of Osteopathy program at the school seems to be somewhat reputable. The email was sort of strange to me though.

[Clinical Masters transition to PhD]

Following because a Clinical Psych Master's is currently my plan B, although I would be more than happy to do that. I would be completing the Master's at a research/science focused school and looking into a medical center for my Ph.D. With acceptance rates being what they are for Clinical programs, I wonder if a Master's and research experience makes a difference as well.

[UNT Counseling Psychology Campus Interview Invitation]

I saw on the results page that at least two people had been invited to the interview. I can conclude that I am a reject at this point. I hope you have heard something! Are you applying to other schools?

[Reading List for 2017]

     Since I will be out of school until the Fall of 2017, I decided to make my New Year's Resolution to read more frequently. I have always regretted not reading as much of the classics as I would like. I will be studying psychology, so I may want to avoid books on that subject, but I love anything educational and enhancing. If you have a list or recommendations for must-reads, please share them! I'm currently focusing on The Classics according to Good Reads.

Have you heard anything from University of North Texas? I applied, too!

Hey splind01! I have't heard anything from UNT. I know for sure that I won't be getting an interview offer because of my lack of prerequisites (made an error in my application.) I'm not sure if we were supposed to be notified by today only if we had an invite, or for either decision. Either way, good luck and I hope they are just late contacting you!

[How Many Doctoral Programs Counseling Psychology]

I have completed 5 applications so far for Doctoral programs in Counseling Psychology, with December deadlines. Right now I have 3 more due in January for a total of 8. When it comes to Coun Psychology how many programs should I be applying to? I meet requirements at most, with some safety schools. But I still want enough options considering the area is competitive.
