William James has a very poor reputation among clinical programs and from the looks of it, this is also the case for the school psych program. I understand that it may be tempting to choose the school which gives you the scholarship. However, having the choice between some funding and poor training or training at a highly respected institution seems like a pretty clear decision in my view.

edit; William James used to be known as Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology. They changed their name to avoid being called a degree mill, despite continuing degree mill practices.

did you apply to the masters program there or did you apply to the psyd program and they bumped you down?

I just thought I would be more suited to a PsyD not a PhD from chapel hill! The program at Rutgers seems amazing also.
 
Accepted to South Alabama and St. John's...99% sure I am accepting Arkansas so spots will open up!
 
Accepted off the waitlist to University of Oklahoma: counseling psychology PhD program. So happy and thankful!
 
Accepted to Clinical PsyD programs at Widener, La Salle, University of Denver, and PGSP-Stanford Consortium.
 
Congrats!! P.S. It was so nice to meet you at Rutgers. Chapel Hill has an amazing reputation and you will definitely do well there 🙂
Thank you! Both schools are great but, I just felt like UNC was a better fit! Hopefully someone on waitlist will be very pleased by my choice lol. Have you decided? I voted for a clinical program in the end! School psych is amazing at rutgers though!!! It was great to meet you also!

I decided on UC Santa Barbara school psych! Best wishes in grad school! 🙂
 
Accepted to William James, Yeshiva, California Lutheran, University of Denver, and PGSP-Stanford : all PsyD programs!
I've let everywhere but University of Denver and PGSP-Stanford know I will not be attending. I think I'm going to choose University of Denver!
 
Has anyone heard from Azusa Pacific's PsyD program yet? I contacted my admissions counselor and he said they were still making decisions, but it seems so late with the decision deadline coming up...
 
I was just accepted to the Florida school of professional psychology. I'm on the waitlist a few other places that I like better, but still a huge relief to know I'm going somewhere.
 
Just got accepted into pacific university as well. NOVA is my top choice at the moment (if you all think that's a mistake please let me know Haha) so I called and am waiting to hear back from them. Otherwise I will go to pacific.
 
Accepted to Long Island U, Yeshiva, Wright Institute, USF (all PsyDs) and MA at NYU. Have narrowed down to LIU And Wright!
