ICDI777

Anyone knows what the format requirements are for Chicago Booth phd program? I just can't find it anywhere on their website. If anyone knows, please let me know! Thanks!

I am on the same boat.. I am sooooo stuck because my current research interests are not relevant to what I have been working on in research. I have tried to write it but I always get stuck at connecting those. I always failed to explain how my research experience shape my current interest because they did not shape it at all. . . . . Should I even just change my current research interest to fit my "past" interest lol? oh man then I need to research programs/faculty again so it won't work ? I also really hope to get some advice on this issue.

I have been interested in clinical psychology since the beginning of my journey in the psych field. In fact, my initial goal was going to clinical a Ph.D program. However, when I took a social psychology class during my junior-senior year, my interest shifted dramatically and I have built my research experience in social psychology field ever since. I do have a relatively good amount of research experience -- 3-4 years of RA experience from 2-3 different (social psych & neuroscience) labs and 1.5 year as a lab manager (in social psych lab). Also, I do have lots of clinical courses (A-~A) taken during my undergrad although I am not sure if these will help at all. GPA is okay (almost 3.9 and psych GPA is above 3.9). Good LoRs but all from social faculty. I also do have clear ideas of what I want to study during my grad years as a clinical grad student. On the other hand, unfortunately, no publication and only one poster presentation at a conference (social). Also, I do not have any clinical experience at all. Do you think I should take another year to build some clinical experience and related research experience? or it is worth a shot to apply this cycle? Here are some programs I have been looking at: USC, Stony Brook, Washu, Rochester. Please share some of your thoughts based on your experience and knowledge in the clinical field! Thanks!
