Clinical PhD programs no GRE required

Recommended Posts

What are your professional goals? What do you envision doing with your graduate education? Have you looked at the differences between a Ph.D. and a Psy.D? What about other career fields and options (LCSW, etc)?

Once you begin to answer these important questions, then you can move towards searching for mentors/programs/schools that can get you there. The bottom line (and you probably know this already): You are severely limiting your career options by focusing on programs that do not require a GRE.

For the OP and or other new applicants interested in becoming clinical psychologists: For-profit graduate schools in clinical psychology are a complete and utter disaster- they are mostly known for providing low quality training/opportunities to its students  (Google what occurred to hundreds of “students” enrolled at Argosy Schools over the last few years). For the exception of URI, all reputable Ph.D. (and some Psy.D) programs in Clinical Psychology  (unfortunately) still require this exam.

Through the process of selecting programs/schools for your graduate education, you need to not only focus on the quality of education you’ll potentially be receiving, you also need to understand that following graduation, you would be competing (again) for internship (and eventually jobs in the market) against those candidates who graduated from reputable programs, with impressive CVs, publications, and experiences obtained throughout their graduate education.
