I know a few people who identify as LGBT+ and went to UNC Chapel Hill. From what I've heard, the research triangle is pretty LGBT+ friendly. 

Hello everyone!

Hey! I also applied to counseling psych programs
I am so glad you started this thread because it seemed like a majority of the people in the other thread are developmental, social, or clinical

Agreed. It doesn't have to be R1/R2 or bust. I am just finishing my 1st semester in an APA accredited partially-funded university-based PsyD. I am already involved in several research projects in my research lab, we have a small cohort, and all of my professors graduated from APA accredited R1 research universities. Students should absolutely do their due diligence about programs, but you also shouldn't write off programs just based on the funding. I've known people at R1s who lose funding because their faculty member couldn't get a grant or something. Things happen. 

I really appreciate your sentiment, but I also would hesitate to write off every program that isn't fully funded. Try as we might, some of us have life circumstances that just do not make us competitive for those R1/R2 universities. Me personally, I had a shit GPA in my undergrad AND I got into some.... shall we say, trouble. Like, morally. I also have financial and family hardships that make it impossible for me to do things like volunteer a lot for research, work a year as a research assistant, etc. I got into a partially-funded masters program and that was the best I could do, because in addition to school I also work 40-50 hours a week to earn enough money to caretake a dying family member and handle my own medical bullshit.
So I know that I am NOT going to be competitive for the Harvards and UPenns and UNC Chapel Hills of the world. And that's okay. You'll see in my signature most of the programs are only partially funded and/or are PsyD "mills" because I'm not interested in punching above my weight class and getting 0 acceptances.

My applications aren't even showing that they are being reviewed yet ??

Neither are mine, don't worry!

You people and your interviews...at least no one has talked about getting an interview at one of the schools I'm applying to....

Would people be interested in mentioning Counseling Psych interviews invites here too? I imagine there are at least a few applying to both.

Yeah same here. We are going to have to be patient. 

Ah! So jealous! Congrats! I hope interview goes super well!
 
P.S. Any idea if all PIs have contacted their applicants?
 
P.P.S Mine is also no under review. I'm trying to balance a healthy skepticism with my need to be supportive of other people.

Applying to 6 clinical and 7 counseling here!

I've been fantasizing about how I'm going to give my two week notice at work this summer

thank you so much!! this is really useful advice for me and i truly appreciate you taking time to type all of this and share your experiences!!
