So I have applied to various PhD and MA/MS programs. I have been wait listed and subsequently rejected from the PhD programs with the exception of a FSPS which I know is a bad option.
I am thinking of attending a MS counseling program and then applying to a school psychology program (PhD) afterwards. My concerns are as follows....
1. In the MS program I worry if i will be able to get enough research experience...though I have decent enough credentials to get interviews I would like to have some more experience and perhaps even a pub or two....
2. I don't want to come across as not focused. Should I be concerned that I will come across as 'confused' due to my trajectory/path?
both programs I have acceptances to are terminal MS programs in clinical and counseling psychology.....my idea would be to matriculate as a doctoral student rather than work towards licensure afterwards...both programs are at relatively inexpensive state schools...
Thanks!
