  1. I did not do a thesis during my MS program. The other two supervisors from my job post- MS can speak to research abilities, one in particular I worked with for quite some time on his projects. That's what makes my third a tricky choice. One individual I did work with on 2 research projects, but again, was a fellow in my department at the time, but I kept in contact with them. Or, most recently, I did take two practicums with a professor from my graduate business program who can speak to purely academic and client interactions versus a professor I once took 7 years ago that I haven't kept in touch with. I really need strong letter writers, since personal circumstance affected my undergraduate GPA to only a 3.5.
  2. It's been 6-7 years since I've talked to anyyyy professors from my MS program. I didn't have any professors even twice during my program. My two clinical supervisors can also speak to my post- MS degree research abilities. Should I not be concerned that I only took a class with any of those professors and it's been seven years? Wouldn't it be odd to email them at this point?

  4. Hi All, I am curious about recommendation letters, would be great to hear from folks admitted to programs already or those that are familiar with the doctorate application review process (PhD or PsyD). Did you use an academic reference? I completed my Masters in Clinical Psych in 2016 and then worked in my field for about four years before going to a graduate business program. I have two supervisors that can write to my clinical abilities, but I have lost touch with many faculty from my graduate level psychology program. However, I have one professor from business school that I took a couple of classes with that might be willing to attest to my academic abilities. Should I choose the academic business school reference as my third letter writer in order to have a purely academic reference, albeit outside of psychology? Or someone who supervised me and worked with me in a research capacity in my old department. At the time she was a research fellow, but has since completed her fellowship and become licensed. I'm not sure if it is critical to have an academic reference in the mix, and not sure if I should be concerned if they aren't in the field of psychology. Thank you!
  5. Your GPA sounds fine. It's more about hours for PsyD's when applying for internship than GPA... unless your GPA is below a 3.4...which it isn't... also depends on how high ranking your program is and your match rate.
  6. Sure... except my GRE's are only 50th percentile and I have some experience working as an RA in labs, but not enough. Clinical psych PhD programs are arguably more difficult to get into than med school... so the more publications / posters you have the better your odds.
  7. Hi All! I have my MS in Psychology, but am trying to make myself look more desirable for clinical PhD and PsyD programs. Are there any recommendations to how best reach out and request to help on papers (in hopes to be published) or to make a poster?
