I am feeling excited and a bit nervous. I applied to five schools for Fall 2020. I am not sure about the strength of my applications as I've been out of school for a while and have no publications and average GRE scores. I've been practicing in the field for seven years and I want to explore social issues (clinician bias, validity of assessments for use with diverse populations, access to non-traditional therapeutic services i.e. Mindfulness-based interventions) via research and I've always wanted to teach. I am hopeful ? but also planning to take a vacation in April, so I am anticipating travel instead of which offers will be made, and another one in July to either celebrate or as a consolation! Best of luck to everyone during this process! I am glad this forum is here ?
