  1. Because it’s a combined program you’d definitely have a better experience within both worlds. I would double check on needing to pay additional money on the pre req courses on top of your regular courses. There’s usually not an extra charge for anything over full time credits. I took additional clinical/counseling courses on top of my school psych courses and was not charged extra. I LOVED that and the classes. you can definitely emphasize your combined program/experiences when seeking a position. I know that you’d also qualify for additional funding opportunities because of the combination. I was able to secure funding from APA because of the additional clinical/counseling courses/experiences. Lastly, I’m older than you, and I have plenty of classmates who are also older lol do not let age be a factor.
  2. I second this. Though I know he takes a while to respond lol
  3. It would depend on how many others are on that list. You’re always welcome to ask them. Did you apply/get offers from other programs?
  4. It was something like, “select one of these characteristics/personalities and that best matches you and tell me why. You have to choose one... “ I only remember these two. Narcissist, Epicaricacy i forgot the other one.
  5. Yes, the ones I spoke to said the same thing where they got funding the first year, but not the second. They rotate on who gets funding and that’s one thing they said they wished they’d known. For me, it would suck to have to worry about it each year.
  6. Thought about it... but after talking to a few 1st and 3rd year students, the funding is inconsistent. One year you might get it, another you won’t. Same was said with professors. That was a factor for me
  7. Yes. I just helped facilitate one today. It’s more of seeing how well you do and stand out with peers. We want to see how you/if you collaborate with others. If you’re courteous or you dominate the discussions.
  8. I feel like they mean it, but I also feel like it fucks with your head a little.
  9. Ahh yea, now I get it. If you could get a program where it’s 4 years of courses that’d be great. I know some programs will let you add or take additional courses to finish faster. For me I took like 1-2 additional clinical courses on top of my 4-5 school psych courses. It was hella stressful lol but I did it...
  10. For masters/EdS or PhD? masters/EdS normally is 3 years... unless you get tricked into doing the program at San Diego State. There’s is like 4 years. Hella insane. PhD is normally 5-6 years. I’m finishing my 3rd year in my masters/EdS school psych program. Decided I wanted to get a PhD... based on my research on also wanting to become a licensed psychologist, I reviewed requirements etc. And only 3 fields can achieve this clinical, counseling, and/or school psychology. So if you look up PhD programs within those fields you’ll see that time frame. Is there programs that’s only 4 years including internship out there?
  11. Sorry to hear that. I got that email too ;( those are my areas of interest too!! Maybe I was too clinical for them. Definitely ABA focused. Ugh ?
  12. CSULA will have their interview days on February 26 & March 5. I don’t know the other schools.
  13. That’s good to know. Haven’t heard back from seeing if we can reschedule. Must be a pain to do it. How did the reschedules work for you? Is it now a 1:1 on a different date?
  14. I got invited today to interview at University of Northern Colorado for February 19 (PhD)... but I have an interview scheduled that day already. Hopefully they can arrange something
  15. out of "curiosity" what are some School Psych PhD programs that have application deadlines in February? lol besides Chapel Hill
