Does anyone know anything about the accreditation for Mercers PsyD program? I just received an interview invite but was never really sure about this program. It says their accreditation is under contingency? It’s unclear to me if they’re going to lose it and I don’t want to waste my time doing another interview if this school won’t even be accredited anymore. If anyone know anything, that would be great!!

You are very welcome I’m glad it made you less nervous.
At this point it’s my only offer, so I’m a little biased in terms of optimism. I sent emails asking the admissions director and a current student more questions about recent changes.
I saw that rumor about accreditation on here but I haven’t heard anything to back that claim up, nor have I heard about it from a credible source. Why would they lose accreditation?
What was your impression from last night? (Opposed to what you’ve heard on here)?
I really liked the interview process. It made me feel like they know this process is super stressful and tried to make it a little easier on us. I appreciated it being short, simple, and interactive. I wish they allowed more time for questions because I feel like they didn’t cover a lot of information about the program. The DCT also said match rates for internships weren't as high as usual this year so that worried me.
I like that the program focuses on a range of therapeutic approaches instead of just one orientation like some other programs I’ve interviewed at. I also like that you’re surrounded by mentors. You have a mentor, advisor, and 2 supervisors or something like that. Lots of resources to get you through the program. This program does seem more research heavy then other PsyD programs. The director said almost everyone accepted gets some type of RA scholarship so that’s nice too! The professors seemed like they really enjoy being there and that the graduates coming out of the program are very successful and trained to be the best!
I have no idea why they would lost their accreditation. I’m not sure if it’s true but even knowing that there’s a rumor like that just doesn’t sit well with me. I’ll def need to ask around more. I also heard there’s some serious issues at the school (idk what) and that the director of the program got fired? There’s just a lot of weird rumors about this school. not sure if any of it is true but the fact that there’s stuff going around makes me question some things about the program. Idk what to think right now. I’m torn cause it’s a great program but seems to be going in a bad direction.

Yes, it’s a discussion group. there are prompt questions, but the professor in my group was not attached to the prompts and let the conversation flow organically. I thought I didn’t do well, but they ended up offering an acceptance.
They said this is the first year they’ve forgone individual interviews and wanted to try this out.
One thing I was thinking was that maybe they’re not weighting interviews as much compared to other factors in their decisions? Or they just want to make sure the applicants they already like on paper are okay to be around, can be collaborative, etc. ?
another thing I thought was that they might end up making offers to the majority of people they interview, so it isn’t necessary to take the time to grill every person in an individual interview (which perhaps isn’t a great representation of some applicants anyway).
Good luck! I *really* like this program and am strongly considering their offer, but I am trying to talk to more people about the large recent/upcoming changes to the program that have me a little nervous.
Thanks so much! This really helped me calm my nerves last night. Today wasn’t so bad. Not sure how confident I feel though but hopefully I did okay! The questions were definitely stimulating.
I like this program too! Unfortunately, I haven’t heard great things about the program this year either ? like they might lose their accreditation? I’m super worried about that because that would ruin literally everything.

Does anyone know anything about LIU CW Post PsyD interview? I have an interview with them tomorrow and it seems a lot different then the other programs I've interviewed at. Just an info session with Q&A and then a small group interview where we talk about poignant topics in psychology? I don't understand lol no individual interview or anyone asking us questions? just a discussion group?

I'm new here and literally having heart palpitations about interviews. Has anyone interviewed at University of Denver or Loyola University, both PsyD, yet? My interviews are coming up and I've been preparing but this is my first cycle applying so I've never had an interview before and I'm really nervous!
