aokanlawon Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Hey all, I thought I would create a group for those applying/interviewing for any Masters program in Psychology. Feel free to talk about the schools you are applying to and any interview questions. I know alot of the interview advice given majorly talks about PhD but feel free to share tips or questions. Katie B and Gingersnipsnap 2
philopsych Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Are there any funded masters where the deadline hasn't passed? (seems late) psychhealth101 1
Katie B Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Thanks for starting this thread! I didn't get in to a PhD this year and a finding research position just isn't possible in my area (I tried before I accepted my current clinical position) so I applied to Master's programs as a plan B option. If anyone has any information on Sam Houston State or University of Houston- Clear Lake's programs I would appreciate it! @philopsych Are you geographically limited or looking for any type of program in particular? If not then this is a blog I've seen floating around that lists programs that typically give funding to masters-level students. I don't know about deadlines though. https://clinicalpsychphd.wordpress.com/2014/04/30/funded-psychology-masters-programs/
Ogd1029 Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 On the waitlist for SUNY Albany School Psychology CAS... crossing my fingers!
HIP613 Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Applied to a handful of PhD programs and got a lot or rejections but was offered a spot in a Master's program. This wasn't my original intention, but now I am trying to decide if I would be better off in this program (which geographically and in general opens a lot of doors compared to my current undergrad univ.) or if I should hold off and try to get a Lab manager position instead.

If the Master's program is fully funded then I'd for sure roll with that. If it's not fully funded, then trying to get a job as a research assistant in addition to your Master's program would be ideal (this is what I did).

I was emailed about interview dates in the middle of February.
aokanlawon Posted March 16, 2019 Author Posted March 16, 2019 I applied to both PhD and Master's programs but since I did get into my first choice PhD, I am going with the Masters option. I got an interview with Western Carolina University and Augusta University which both offer funding. If anyone has any information on both programs, I would love your input.

Gingersnipsnap Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Hi there! Has anyone done an interview for their perspective programs yet? I have a phone interview with Augusta University April 4th and was wondering how others phone interviews went.

I did an in-person interview this past Thursday at UHCL and would be willing to share my experience! They asked me a few questions about my CV and my previous experiences, why I was interested in their program, my goals, etc. It was very short! I was done with the entire process in two and a half hours including waiting time.

philopsych Posted April 2, 2019 Posted April 2, 2019 I hate to double post; but, as I mentioned in the other thread, this is desperation time. Does anyone think there's at least a possibility of them declining William & Mary or Wake Forest?
