I did Colorado. It was a piece of cake. However, I'm going back and doing my home state and it is an absolute nightmare. I had to get a background check, had to get a release of information form NOTARIZED in the midst of a pandemic, had to enter every single one of my courses and what category they fall under (i.e., assessment and diagnosis, biological bases of behavior, etc.), submit online attestations of hours to be signed by my training directors, and my PhD training director had to verify my completion of the program. Not to mention, one of my letter writer's letter got lost 3 times, and they were initially asking for the letters to be snail-mailed (again, in the midst of the pandemic!). Now that all of that is submitted, I am waiting to receive the honor of taking their oral and jurisprudence exams. I sort of wish I had done this during post-doc year but the positive thing is that I have been able to go at my own pace with the harder, more expensive application. Price really is an important consideration when you are still in training.
