So I am starting to look into masters/PhD programs as I graduate from undergrad soon, and I had a couple of questions.
1. First, is it necessary to go from Undergrad directly into a PhD program if I am looking at something like clinical psych?
2. If I cannot gain admission into a PhD program immediately upon undergrad, will getting my masters first and then reapplying to PhD programs hurt me at all? Also, am I just applying for a clinical psychology grad position, or am I applying for a masters in general psychology?
3. Will my undergrad GPA matter at all once I start a masters program? Will PhD programs just look at my masters GPA?
4. When looking at PhD vs Psy.D programs, I read that the Psy.D programs are unfunded. Is this true? I'd like to not go through school and be $150-200k in debt, so I wasn't sure.
Thanks!
Chris
