1) what Prac's you had during grad school
#1 was child/adolescent assessment (in the uni run clinic)
#2 was child/adolescent assessment and some therapy (in a local school system)
#3 was adult therapy and some assessment (residential treatment)
I worked at #3 for another 1.5yrs running groups, etc. while I finished my research and applied for internship.
2) how many hours you had when you applied
1300-1400? I forget the exact breakdown, though probably 800 F2F, 250-300 sup, 200-250 admin.
3) how many pubs you had when you applied
1 pub, 4-5 posters, 2 invited talks. I was pretty involved w. research, but I took off 2yrs to complete another degree, so it hurt my #'s. I also was at a uni-based Psy.D. so I had a bit more flexibility w. what I was required to do each semester.
I actually matched to a great VA in the Midwest, though I interviewed at many of the top AMCs and was later told I was competitive. I ranked the VA ahead of a number of the AMCs, so that probably impacted where I matched.
*edit to fix #'s. first prac was 5-8hr/wk, second 8-12hr/wk, third was 12-16hr/wk.*
