I first applied when I was 21 going on 22, during my senior year of college. I received 6 interviews, but was ultimately rejected from all of these programs. I've always been interested in healthcare systems, so I decided to pursue a Master of Public Health degree. I am now 24 and will be starting my Clinical Psych PhD in the fall. Age isn't necessarily a factor, but understanding what you are passionate about and being able to focus in on that throughout your application and interview process makes all the difference!
