I've put a ton of consideration into it and am 100% sure I want to do a PsyD. I just messaged you; I'd love help figuring out who can review my essays!

Sounds good! I just saw and replied to your email!

Hi everyone,

I'm currently in undergrad, so this is my first time applying to grad school and the process is a bit overwhelming. I was wondering if anyone knew of Clinical Psychology PsyD programs that are well or fully funded? Also, besides faculty/mentor match, what other important factors should I consider when choosing schools to apply. At the moment, I'm choosing based on the cost of living in the area and faculty match. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks in advance and good luck to everyone applying!

Tbh, not a lot of Psy.D places are funded. There are chances to get funding through clinical practicum though! You should also consider why the Psy.D and not maters in clinical psych, MFT, or Ph.D. Really think about *why* you want to pursue the Psy.D and what outcomes you want post graduation. 

I'm currently a second year clinical psych student. Feel free to message me if you have more questions!

I'm sorry to hear that! Hope everything worked out!

1. I didn't upload my CV as pdf, but I added "honors and awards", "publications, and "oral and poster presentation" on the section they asked for our accomplishments. 

2. You can submit the transcript once you add your school in the education section. There is a section on the right side that says "upload" once you add your school.

Thanks I found where to upload the transcripts! And okay, that's what I thought for the CV but I wasn't sure! 

[NSF GRFP 2020-2021]

1.) How did you guys upload your CV? Was it as a pdf? Or did you just list accomplishments on the space provided?

2.) I don't see where to upload a pdf of our transcripts. Anyone know?

I'm a first time applicant, so this is just how I interpreted the solicitation. For the research proposal, I mostly wrote about the implications of the project & how the research could benefit science as a whole (ie the intellectual merit of the project). I also briefly mentioned how my specific research background fits into the feasibility of the project. For the personal statement, it was much more a testament to my own research background and skills - I wrote about each lab I worked in, what I got out of it, how it helped me grow etc. and ended by talking about how it fits into my career plans & what I can contribute to science. Again, that's just how I interpreted it! I'm sure there are other successful ways to approach this.

Thanks Laurence It was confusing to me cs in the directions they weren't clear! I was looking at previous winners and it would seem they took a similar approach to yours! I appreciate you taking the time to answer this. Hope you're doing well!

Question guys. What sort of stuff are you guys writing for the Intellectual Merit portion for the *Research Proposal* and what are you guys writing in the Intellectual Merit for the *Personal Statement*?

@ShiningStargirl Also my first time applying! I feel pretty much the same as you, but I wish you the best of luck!

That makes me feel better! I'm about to start editing my draft for the day. Good luck to you too!

How are you guys feeling leading up towards the application deadline? I feel burnt out and anxious. ?  First time applying to a fellowship!

Does that mean that the application can be written in size 11 or only the reference?

Hi Mitochondria_1, 

Everything including references are in 11 point font. If you try putting a draft/pdf of into the GRFP module, it should also tell you if there's anything wrong! If this doesn't make sense, feel free to private message me about anything. I'd be free to talk over the phone or zoom to show you what I mean! 

Sincerely, 

Mabel

Hey Bernt, 

I attended a webinar hosted by the NSF people today, and they said even the references need to be size 11. The size changed to 11 point font this year. 

To double check and verify, they keep telling us to refer to the NSF Solicitation Page! 

Sincerely, 

Mabel

Hey all! I got an invitation for an interview for the Fall 2017 School Psychology Program. I was wondering if you guys had any tips for me and whether or not there was an essay portion for the interview process. Thanks!!!
