Will most likely accept. Super excited of course, although it's crazy to think I'll probably be moving back to Texas in just a few months! 40 minutes ago, blonderoast said: Just accepted my offer from Syracuse! It's such a relief to be done with this process. Congratulations! metalpsychperson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ServeNStudy Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Is PGSP-Stanford considered one of the best PsyD programs out there? I feel like I have a tough time understanding what the general view on this school is since it's a relatively new program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I have a tough time understanding what the general view on this school is since it's a relatively new program. If you haven't yet, you should search the available threads on the Student Doctor Network forum. I have heard from several sources that, "Stanford is paid to have their name used, but the program is not Stanford quality." I know two people who were accepted, but chose not to go because they felt they wouldn't receive the same level training that they would from other schools (and their tuition is also ridiculous). I was considering applying myself, but ended up not after hearing these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I have a tough time understanding what the general view on this school is since it's a relatively new program. ServeNStudy it's always tough to pass judgement on any program but from what the general chatter that one hears, PGSP might NOT be the best option around. The Stanford attached to it could be taken with a pinch of salt. If you have other options it would be good to explore them. This is an expensive program as well so that's something to think about. Again, no disrespect meant to the program, and accepting that I am a complete outsider, this is how I view it. I also know that eventually it is not the program but what you make of it that matters more than anything else. So if this is your one shot, embrace it gladly and make the most of it. If you have options, do reconsider them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eeepsych13 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I saw that someone declined an offer from South Florida. If that person is on here and could PM me with their POI, that would be incredible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I have a tough time understanding what the general view on this school is since it's a relatively new program. I'm from the area and the PGSP program is well respected. Just a trend I noticed (so take with a gain of salt), but there are not a lot of clinical schooling options in the area and a lot of the people who attend the program seem to do so because moving is not an option. I've worked with several professors and graduates from the program and they are great researchers and clinicians. Personally, I didn't consider applying because of the cost. They even charge tuition the year you are away on internship which seems borderline unethical to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anxietyrunner Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Has anyone heard anything from UMKC? I've been told that I'm waitlisted without an interview, and I've seen a few others in the same boat from the results page, but I haven't heard from anyone who got an interview or were accepted?

blonderoast Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Just got an acceptance from a program where my PI previously found out he couldn't take any students after the interview. I had an official rejection letter and everything! Just in case anyone needed any hope today that crazy things can still happen. eeepsych13, psychIsLife, eveline and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Same to you too! It was a 50/50 split but the counseling program is closer to home which I really need right now, though it's hard getting out of the 'clinical is king' mentality.

I ultimately I chose a school with the best "fit and best practicum opportunities based on my interests" out of my offers regardless of the clinical/counseling basis. I am headed to Central Arkansas!
