Congrats and thanks for your reply! Do you think you will be attending UIndy? I'm accepting my offer there!I received a GA position, so I think all fellowships/GAs went out

Auburn! So stoked!Where's everybody going?!
I'm not sure. I really wanted the fellowship lol. That price tag is killing me, but I loved the faculty/students.
I'm on the waitlist at my top choices, so waiting to see how that pans out first
Northern Illinois University!!Where's everybody going?!
How much are you looking at without the fellowship?
UMSL! So pumped..Where's everybody going?!

Has anyone heard back from Roosevelt?
I've been obsessively refreshing my email waiting to hear back from them. I got an email from them last friday saying that I'm still being considered and acceptances will go out this week but that's about it so far.
I got an email today saying I’m on the waitlist. It didn’t say what spot but it’s my top choice so I’m waiting! Did you get an email today?
I recently was accepted to University of San Francisco's Psy.D program and am debating between USF and Wright Institute's Psy.D program (I already had an interview and am waiting to hear back).
USF's program is newer, has WASC accreditation, does not have APA accreditation (it is at the end stages of this process), it's closer to home, and seems like a good environment, would be about a cohort of 13-15 more or less.
Wright's program has is more established, and has APA accreditation, a little further from home, also a good environment (but during the open house, the students and faculty did not all give off a warm "vibe", cohort size is about 20 (a little more than USF but still an okay size).
both schools have 100% internship match rate and tuition for 5 years is almost the same.
any input would be appreciated.

Congrats on your acceptance! I would say go with the APA accredited school. Although USF is in the process of accreditation, it is extremely risky to assume they will be accredited by the time you are ready for internship. Without APA accreditation you will face significant limitations for jobs. I would reach out to current Wright State students and ask them about their experiences with the program and see if it's different from the student on the panel. It wouldn't hurt to also reach out to faculty who share similar interests with you. That way you can gauge their interest in you as a student as well.
Internship and practica are NOT the same thing. Practicum occurs during training and is the start of direct experience working with clients. In order to graduate with a doctorate EVERYONE needs to complete an internship for 1 year, generally after your 4th or 5th year. Make sure you understand the stats being spun your way. If I were in your shoes I would not accept either school, take the next year or two to get more competitive and reapply to better funded, better outcomes programs.
Be careful as others have said, and it would be alarming if a program couldn't 100% guarantee that you would have a practicum placement every year! These practicum placements are much different than the internship match process as others have noted.

Hi just wondering if you accepted the offer at yeshiva. Their school-clinical program is my top program and I want to know if you received any funding whatsoever. The program costs a lot of money but I think it will pay off in the end.
Yikes, if there is no funding, I would walk from this one. Tuition alone would run you into the 6 figures by the time you start paying it off. Add on other associated fees and living expenses and you have med school level debt with an expected salary that is less than 1/3 of many physicians.
Is 120K/year the median or mean?Well school psychologists in my area make well over 120k. Factor in a private practice and i could very well be earning 200k. Not to mention the fed gov offers many loan repayment options such as pay as you earn etc.
or neither. And they're certainly unlikely to be ECP.Is 120K/year the median or mean?

Exactly, there's no way that's typical, even for someone late in their career. It's funny how poorly implemented statistics and logic are for people ostensibly trained in them in grad school.
If you focus less on the diction (there's another difficult word for you to look up) and more on comprehension, you'll see that I'm not referring to you in that context. I'm talking about the people who attend unfunded programs and don't properly evaluate the costs of doing so or their realistic earnings later on, as I was discussing with Justanothergrad.lol thank you for your valuable insight! ...also great choice of words..."ostensibly"...did you grab that out of the GRE prep book? Also, I haven't been trained in anything in grad school because I have not gone to grad school yet, hence the whole purpose of my previous post.

2015 Salaries in Psychology
Folks who expect to do a full time job and then pull another that much in part-time PP under-estimate the PP workload and over-estimate their earnings. That estimate equates to approximately 1600/week in earnings on top of the salary amount or around 2-3 hours of billable time after school psych work (then add another bit for notes). Ignoring the overhead costs/no-shows/time it takes to build a caseload/split if a group practice/etc, that means that to hit that number they would need to hit the ~70th PR for income in primary/elementary/secondary education as an ECP then work 11-12 hour day every workday for the year if they go the traditional therapy route for the PP.

Ok, Bro.Well the whole structure of it is completely incoherent. It's amazing how ostensibly trained in writing grad school students can be!
