F1 students enroll in Clinical/Counseling Psychology

[psy_gal]

Hi everyone,

I am planning to apply for a Ph.D./PsyD program in Clinical/Counseling Psych. From what I know, not many international students are in the Psychology program. I am so lost, as I don't have anyone to ask advice from. 

Does anyone in our forum who is an F1 student and already attend a program, planning to apply? 

Thank you!

well what do you want to know?

What are the chances that international students are admitted to a clinical/counseling psychology program? 

Were you able to get into a program without prior published pape

it happens, but you certainly need research experience since clinical/counseling PhD programs are the most (insanely) competitive in the psych field
