I'm planning on applying to clinical/counseling PhD programs next year. I think I have at least a decent application (relevant research experience, hopefully an honors thesis [just submitted my prospectus!], clinical experience, etc... we'll see after I take the GRE this fall/summer!), but given how competitive the field is, you never know. I'm considering applying to some MSW programs as well, but I was wondering if this would "look bad"/be a bad idea. I'm a social work double major, so I have plenty of exposure to the field, and while, all things equal, I'd *prefer* a PhD (I LOVE research, but don't want to do it professionally) an MSW would probably also lead me where I want to go career-wise.
Would applying to both types of programs in one cycle be a "killer"? Has anyone here done it?
