  1. Woot! Right there with you. Have you heard back from any of your programs about interviews yet? Or, are they even doing interviews? I have two interviews coming up...so hopefully I'll have some luck with one of them.
  2. Jedi and Psychologue, this one helped me quite a bit. There's a great list in one of the posts on this thread.
  3. I'm applying to masters programs as well, but not to the one you mentioned. I'm curious--what are the references in your statement of interest for? I don't think I've come across that with other schools.
  4. I would love to hear the answers to this as well!
  5. Hey there, I had a quick question for you. I'm currently a psych major, and until recently was thinking about applying to mostly psych programs. For complicated reasons I have decided that I want to look at masters level programs, and apply to some MSW's as well. Did you find that UMich has good clinical opportunities? What ultimately made you decide to attend there? Any info is appreciated!
  6. Thanks everyone! You've given great advice from both sides. Lisa-It's really nice to hear the route you took. I think the thing that freaks me out most is that there are so many directions you can go in. I've talked to the grad students (clinical PhD) who work in my lab, and they have good advice as well, but they know little about the types of programs I'm applying to. I think the next step is to contact the program and see if I can talk to some current students. I think I may also apply to an assortment of master's and PhD's just to see where the chips fall. I don't want to put all my eggs (or applications) in one basket. Of course, if I really don't feel a good fit, I've considered applying for RA position as well.
  7. Thanks for the insights! No matter which side you vote for (master's or not), I appreciate the opinions.
  8. Hi everyone, I'm new to the site, and I'm looking for some help. My ultimate goal is to earn a PhD in counseling psychology so I can teach/supervise/research/and practice. I have a pretty competitive application already (3.8 GPA, practicum, volunteer, neuropsych test administration experience/5 semesters of TA and psychology mentoring experience/ but only a year of paid research experience and honors thesis after this year). I am retaking my GRE because I wasn't happy with my score. I have realized that in addition to having a low amount of research experience, I also don't have my interests in counseling psych nailed down yet. I would like to have a better idea of my research interests before committing 5-7 years to a program. That said, I'm looking into the dual master's in counseling and social psychology at Ball State University. I think the dual major provides an interesting look at the social aspects of the counseling field (I am not looking to go into social completely). Does anyone know anything about this program? Also, does anyone know any counseling programs that specifically prepare you for a PhD (master's thesis etc.)? ANY advice you have would be appreciated! LM
