Hi！ As an international student who also desires to become a licensed psychologist, I would say master programs don't seem like a good choice for you. I applied to several master & PsyD programs this season and eventually regretted spending time on master programs. It occurred to me that I won't even consider them as long as any PsyD program gave me an offer. Luckily, I did get one. So, if you want to go PsyD route, accumulate clinical experience, and research experience for the Ph.D. route.

Hi, thanks for sharing. It really sheds light on some of my confusions!

My advice would be going for a part-time RA and a part-time clinical work if that's possible. Some Coun Psych Ph.D. programs value clinical experience or a master degree. But if you can work as an RA in labs where you want to pursue your Ph.D. degree in the future, then forget about what I said.

Also got into LIU Post and worry about the prestige here. Have you decided which one to go to?

I just checked Rutger's Academic Calendar and it says the same： https://gsapp.rutgers.edu/about/academic-administrative-calendar Feel desperate now.

Hi, PsyYoung Can I ask which program you chose and why? I am applying to these two programs this year
