Hello everyone - I'm gearing up to apply to some PsyD in Clinical Psychology programs this fall, and there's an essay question that's pretty unique and puzzling. I wonder if some of you could potentially help me figure out exactly what the application committee is looking for here:
"Describe someone you know, other than a parent or guardian, about whom you have strong ambivalent or conflicting feelings. Describe the person in such a way they 'come alive' for the reader. How do you understand your reactions to this person? How might your personal history influence how you react?"
