Anyone else headed to Melbourne, FL in August?!

I'm applying for my Psy.D in Clinical Psychology. So far, I have heard from 3 of the 4 schools I applied to. Denied by one, and interviews to two. Nova Southeastern University (Ft. Lauderdale, Florida) and The Wright Institute (San Francisco, California). Both interviews are "all day" activities. I'm not sure exactly what I'll be doing all day, I just know it's all day. What should I wear? I was thinking a suit, but because they are all day events I don't know what's appropriate. Is it okay to bring someone with me (my boyfriend is coming to California with me). Any insider tips? I could REALLY use them! Thanks!

Thanks so much for your help! I'm still deciding, and money is definitely a factor because I'm financing my whole undergrad myself at a private institution.

I'm a senior undergrad double major in Psychology and Criminology. Eventually I want to provide therapy in correctional settings, hopefully with juveniles. But, I'm not sure of the path I want to take. Ultimately, I would want to get my PsyD., in Clinical Psych since it's more practitioner based, but I'm not sure if I'd get in. I'm thinking of applying to a MSW program because they are easier to get into and cost less. Could someone please let me know what they think about my chances and best route to take? Psychology & Criminology double major - 3.6 GPA LISTS AND LISTS of involvement in school activities and organizations (including President of Psi Chi and Executive Board member in two other organizations, and Vice President of my Sorority) Doing a small independent study to do research for a professor's new book and my own research paper next semester Internship with Juvenile Justice System Consistently working part time since coming to college (pay my own tuition and fees) At least 1 VERY strong LOR, probably 2 mediocre ones Weakest point- GRE Scores: V: 490 Q:670 VERY Specific future goals. I don't want to apply to all Doctorate of Psychology programs and get denied from every school, but I don't want to only apply to MSW programs in fear of not being admitted to a doctorate program. Thanks for your help!
