How great would that be?

I just found out from a very credible source that I/O applicants get flown in to interviews on the school's dime..... What makes our situation (clinical and other applicants) so different?

I don't mean to sound bitter but this is just the fantastic piece of information I had to receive as I am applying to a lot of schools, just paid a $65 app fee and am basically going into debt as a result of my application process 🙄

Just thought I'd let other people wallow with me, lol. Nevertheless, good luck all I/O applicants. It's a great field and I'm sure you're all worth it 😀

What's different between I/O and Clinical is that I/O psychologists make bigger bucks because of the business clients they serve. That's the difference.

Top I/O programs want to attract the best of the best, and there are far fewer top I/O than Clinical programs....so it shouldn't be too surprising.

Don't forget -- I/o psychologists are often paid by large corporations and seldom have to deal with managed care. Their services get charged against the bottom line of the business. Sweet deal when you think about it. Too bad I already did my time in corporate America.😉 I like clinical work better.

i think this is pretty common in experimental psych. my only interview that was paid for last year was a community program. it was very different from the clinical programs in that i already had an offer and definitely felt i was being "recruited" rather than interviewed. i think that because of the abundance of applicants/interviewees that clinical programs just can't wine and dine like other areas .... or have less incentive to do so. 🙂

UND reimburses you.

One of the schools during my previous application cycle surprised me during the interview, when the DCT pulled me aside to say that they usually fund one or two applicants to come for the interview, and they would pay for my plane ticket. Considering that meant that I was at the top of the list, imagine my surprise when I didn't get in 🙁
