Val006 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Hi there, I have applied for a mixture of PhD Social Work Programs (University of Pittsburgh & University of Michigan) and a mixture of PhD Clinical Psychology Programs (University of Boulder Colorado, Stanford, Ohio, York and Queen's) and I have already been contacted from one of my POIs from Boulder about potential interviews. I understand that it is quite standard for interviews to occur for psychology programs but I was wondering if this is also the case for Social Work programs. Does anyone happen to have any insight? Thanks!
Chubberubber Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 I'm also wondering about SW programs. I would imagine they'd hold interviews as well, but honestly don't know for sure. Are you sure you applied for a clinical psychology program at stanford? As far as I know they don't offer one...
Val006 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Posted January 11, 2015 Yes, you are correct... there is not clinical psychology program at Stanford although there is a PsyD consortium with neighboring Palo Alto University ( http://www.paloaltou.edu/graduate-programs/pgsp-psyd-stanford-consortium ). There are a number of faculty members in the Psychiatry department who have interests in health psychology/behavioral medicine but I am not familiar with any individuals in that program that have a strong pain focus. Students enrolled in this also program participate in practicum rotations. The research that I am pursuing there is a faculty member at Stanford in the affective science department that has similar interests so I have applied there. FYI, someone I was speaking to applied to 5 different PhD Social Work Programs and received admission to all five with no interviews... which I thought was interesting. I imagine that every school is different though but at least it is some information to provide some insight.
Chubberubber Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 I've been looking more into this as well, and actually didn't find anything about Social Work Ph.D interviews anywhere... Seems like it's quite common to accept based only on the application. Wierd,,,.
