Adler University

[RachelMarie]

Does anyone know anything about Adler University's reputation? It seems a lot of people don't really know anything about it but I have heard good things.

we have a campus here  in my city (they're actually located like a block from where i live, heh).

sadly, the general sentiment (at least from the people in Canadian programs i've spoken with) is something like this is the kind of place you go to when you can't make into a "real" clinical program.

 

maybe it's just a Canadian bias?

My sense is that as far as FSPPs they are okay, but essentially the school is not very good, and you will have a shit time getting an internship coming from Adler. This is especially true if you go to the Chicago campus where practicum placements are also hard to obtain due to the high density of high calibre schools in the area. I understand why it would be tempting, but $200,000 is a lot of money to shell out for a degree you might not be able to complete due to competition for accredited internships.

I can't attest to the quality of the program, but I want to echo the point made about lack of internship opportunities. A former co-worker of mine just recently applied for internships and did not match at all. He was in the clinical neuropsychology stream.
