Input Appreciated: Choosing between 2 PsyD Programs


PsyYoung

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone! At the moment I'm torn between two PsyD programs and would love your input!

The two programs are the PGSP-Stanford PsyD Consortium and Loyola University Maryland

I'm well aware of the financial benefits of going to Loyola over PGSP-Stanford, so I'm looking for more information about clinical training, how happy and/or successful students and alum are, reputation of the program in terms of the likelihood of being competitive in the job market after post doc, any big red flags I missed on interview day (minus high costs of tuition and living) etc.

I really loved both programs on interview day, so any and all thoughts would be appreciated! Thank you!

Hi! I don't know about those programs specifically, but I am also torn between two programs at the moment. If you have not already, I would encourage you to reach out to current students and alumni of those programs. I've found that alumni, specifically, have given me really candid advice on the programs since they don't really have anything to lose at this point by being honest. If email addresses aren't available online, you could reach out to program directors or professors and ask them to put you in contact with recent graduates.

I don't know too much about PGSP but I have heard great things about Loyola; I work in the psych field in the Maryland area and the reputation is that clinicians that come out of that school are very qualified and well trained. Hope that helps! Definitely do more research into EPPP pass rates and internship match rates though...
