  1. I'm an Australian applying to the US for clin psych PhDs and have done my research on this topic for those very reasons - as far as I can tell, what everyone is saying is correct - it is much harder to get licensed in the US with a foreign degree than the other way around. This is partly why I am applying - because I want to live and work overseas, and I know a US PhD is my best bet for being able to move around in my working career. If I stayed here and did the combined Masters/PhD I'd have much more trouble if I wanted to work in the US/UK later on. So definitely something to keep in mind if you don't plan on staying in Aus long term!
  2. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply you guys! That is actually very helpful, as I didn't know it costs more for them to fund an international student. Not good news for me, but definitely good to know.
  3. Hi guys! So glad to have found these forums, being an international student there's a dearth of support/info where I'm from when it comes to applying to US programs, so this is super helpful! Just a quick question - I've had a thorough look around the forums but can't seem to get clear on this. When it comes to emailing potential advisors before applying for clinical psych programs, is this absolutely expected? It's a totally novel concept to me as it's just not done here (except for pure research programs), so it feels very much like I'd just be being a huge pain in the whatsie by doing so (when I think about the amount of emails my current PI gets every day!!). Also, as it is now late August, most of the schools I am interested in have already published a list of the advisor/s taking on students in Fall 2021, so it's not exactly like I can use that question as my premise for emailing. I have read a couple of people here have even set up interviews prior to applying - this is so unusual to me, here it would be seen as giving some applicants an unfair advantage over others. Is this common in the States? Of course, I would love to email my POIs and discuss our mutual research interests. I suppose my question is, how does one approach this when you already know they're taking on students, and what sort of things should one say/include in the email? Thanks so much!
