  1. I found little information about this program online, but was invited for an interview. Any insights on the overall program would be appreciated - ex. overall reputation and impressions, strengths/weaknesses, clinical/research training, etc.
  2. Hi everyone! I'm in need of a bit of advice here. I got accepted in Stony Brook's MA program which I am so excited about, however, I am currently waitlisted on a few PhD programs and waiting to hear back from a few other masters programs. Stony Brook needs a decision by next week. Is it in poor taste to accept their offer, even though I know I will have to decline if I get off the waitlist? I just don't want to pass up the opportunity in case I don't get into those programs. The differences in all the deadlines for masters vs. PhD programs is stressing me out lol.
  3. I would agree that its best to research the programs as best you can and email the coordinators asking specifically about what prerequisites you need. Often they won't pre-assess your eligibility so sending your transcript may not be helpful. But you can ask for a number of credit hours or what courses are required. You could then take these courses as a non-degree/community student at a university or community college to fill the requirements, or may even be able to take them online.
  4. Hi everyone! I am looking for grad programs in school psychology or child psychology that do not require a BA in psychology in either the US or Canada. I have done a lot of research into Canadian programs and it seems like all of them require a BA in psychology. Does anyone know of any US programs or schools that are more lenient or do not have this requirement? Or any advice on navigating this switch? I did my BSc in Life Sciences. I have taken a lot of psychology courses throughout my undergrad, have research experience (though it is more medical), and I have a lot of experience working with kids with disabilities. I'm feeling a little discouraged that my major may prevent me from advancing into a masters or grad program in the field I'm interested in. Also, I am a bit confused about the US grad school system. In Canada, most masters programs progress directly into a PhD, but it seems like in the US a masters isn't necessary? Any thoughts on if it would be beneficial to apply to US masters programs before PhD programs? Would really appreciate any insight at all!
