Yes it means Director of Clinical Training.
I interviewed at Denver, some bullet point thoughts:
- Programs strengths are definitely practice oriented; all activities leading up to POI interview basically talked about all the practicum opportunities and diversity. Denver (and surrounding cities) is(are) saturated with psychologist, while negative if you want to practice/live there after grad school it is positive if you are looking for practicum sites with supervision.
- Full funding is rare, expect a good amount of loans. Financial aid session was pretty blunt about this. However if you are flexible and able to work in a lab in the psych department, you may get full funding (as stated by current students).
- I had an amazing experience with my POI, but some other interviewee's said they had tense/awkward interviews were they got grilled.
- Did not get a good feel for student community, saw some during the day but most seemed stand offish and rarely saw more than 2 talking together. (side note: flew in late so did not attend social night before).

They had an open bar for the reception
Thanks for sharing!
The lack of funding is nerve racking. But I really enjoyed my interview with my POI as well, and there's another professor who I'm interested in working with too. Open bar-maybe that means they are pretty chill overall?! Haven't heard back yet, if I get accepted I'll probably go visit in person and see how I feel about it. Good luck!

Noob question....what does DCT stand for? Director of Clinical Training?
Also, did anyone interview in person with U of Denver? I had a skype interview and am just wondering what the in person experience was like.

Has anyone heard anything from University of Denver, University of Maryland, or University of Akron?
Denver had their interviews on the 3rd. I think Maryland did as well...I never heard back from Maryland though.

What's standard for replying to a waitlist email? Do I need to reply saying thanks for informing me and I'll keep you updated if I want to be taken off the list or is that not necessary?

Do we think Teachers College at Columbia is done sending out invites?
I don't know what to think....someone posted that invites would go out today but no one posted about getting an invite today.

Hi there,
You would probably have better luck posting/searching on reddit. There are several posts about this on the psychotherapy board. After I graduated I worked in my supervisor's private practice and gave her half of my hourly rate instead of having to rent out space and pay for overhead costs. It'd be worth looking into overhead costs for renting a space and deciding if it's worth it, especially because it takes a while to build up a client base.

University of Memphis sent out an email this morning for interviews. Others are posting about Columbia and Boston College (I applied to both) and I haven't heard anything, so the anxiety is rising! Of course the final 3 CP programs I was waiting on all get back to applicants on the same day!

I believe UT Austin has already sent out. I didn't get one either
That's ok...their loss! We only want programs that want and see potential in us
I tell myself that if a program doesn't see the value in me, that it can't be the perfect program for me. I really believe it's all about fit.

Hey everyone,
I've been checking out this board for a while but just caved and made an account to post. I've applied to 9 Counseling Psych programs and 1 HDFS/MFT program, all at the doctoral level.
I applied to:
UGA- HDFS/MFT
University of Tennessee-Knoxville- Counseling Psych
University of Texas at Austin- CP
University of Memphis- CP
University of Maryland- CP
Loyola Chicago- CP
Boston College- CP
Columbia University- CP
University of Missouri-Kansas City- CP
University of Denver- CP
So far I've been invited to interview with Denver, UM Kansas City, and Loyola Chicago. I haven't heard from other programs, but since some people have reported hearing back from a few of those, I'm assuming I didn't get one (Maryland, UT Austin, UTK).

You could look into Carl Jung and research organizations/professors who utilize his work. I know there are Jungian centers around the country, Houston, TX has a fairly large one. I also know a professor at University of Maryland-College Park in the Counseling Psych department does dream work research.
