You definitely saw where I was coming from with this question in assuming that the acceptance process would be similar to that of medical school. I appreciate you sharing your courseload and experience with graduate admissions. Congratulations on the acceptance!

Thank you for the insights and congratulations on the acceptance!

Hi everyone, I am an undergraduate student interested in pursuing clinical psychology. I am considering taking a reduced course load and wanted to know how graduate schools would view this. I am trying to maintain my GPA whilst working part-time and volunteering but feel that I would get more out of my courses if I were taking 4 courses instead of 5. If I have a strong GPA and both research and clinical experience how important is it to take a full course load? If anyone could provide some insights that would be greatly appreciated!
