Do you think its too late now?

Hello all, During my application process, I had emailed a professor expressing my interest in working with them and she replied stating that I can mention her name in my application. So I assumed that she is also interested and I rightly mentioned her. This was in October of last year and the application was due in November. Now that it has been several months since I have applied, do I need to touch base with her again because I expect to hear the admission decision by March. If so, then how do I follow up? Please let me know. Thank you

Thank you for your response. So should I still pursue this program? What kind of job opportunities are available after completing this program? Can I still work with children?

Hi everyone. I have just completed my undergrad in psychology from the University of Toledo (Ohio), and I would like to pursue a career in child psychology (don't want to do phd). I got admitted to the MA in Child Development program at California State University, Sacramento. However, I am not sure if I should accept admission as I am not sure if I will be able to do much with this degree. As I am not sure about what kind of jobs will I get, because there are many licensing requirements in different states to practice as a psychologist which require doctoral degrees. This what the program website states "The MA program prepares graduates for a variety of life goals, including working directly with infants, children, adolescents, and their families. It provides preparation for future employment as counselor, social worker, community college instructor, research assistant, private non-profit worker, and child care program administrator, as well as for additional study toward a doctoral degree in child development, developmental psychology, or related field". So should I go forward with this program or do something else, I don't even know what else I can do??
