Anyone else feeling this way?
I've gotten research experience. I have a thesis ready to written up for defense and two others ready for data collection. I have a (non-first author) article in press and three other non-1st author papers to be submitted relatively soon. I've been given PIship on a research project. I've gotten clinical experience. I've gotten child experience (for school psych programs). I've TA'ed. I've taught. I've defined my areas of interest, located POIs, and started contacting them.
Rationally, I am prepared to be rejected by most, if not all, programs I apply to, and honestly, it's a bit nerve-wracking to think about as I start to draft my SOP--not because I don't want to do this, but because all of my clinical and research experiences make me realize how much I really *do*. I just hope I don't unwittingly deep six my app in some way.
