Seeing the Toledo invites pour through...............

I shot you and the other person interested in UToledo a PM!

I'm going to preface my thoughts by saying I am no expert on the admissions process, so I could be off base here.
 
That being said, I would argue the breakdown of desirable experience looks like this:
Ph.D.: 1. Research, clinically oriented, then 2. Clinical experience, especially within the population of interest
Psy.D.: 1. Clinical experience, population of interest, then 2. Research experience, general
 
I cannot speak to neuropsychology at all. That being said, I think it's important to keep in mind that a Ph.D. is a research degree at the end of the day. Ph.D. programs in general want to ensure you understand how to conduct research and, perhaps more importantly, you understand the literature itself. You want to show a strong theoretical understanding that drives your research work.
 
With this in mind, I would argue the clinical research coordinator, perhaps counterintuitively, looks better. That being said, I feel weird offering advice on a process I barely understand that steers you away from a substantial pay increase. Ultimately the decision will have to be yours. Perhaps you should speak with available mentors about what they think?

My whole goal this application season was to land one interview. I'm stoked I did it.

Edit: @Jamesmp, congrats on the invite to Kent! I applied to them as well. Evidently some people have received invites and rejections already; I'm still waiting to hear back from them but I'm not sweating it too much.

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