Quick drive by post before I head out for the night.....(Costume Party!!!)
PGSP Stanford PsyD Consortium.....promising, but $$$$ and unproven
Regent University.......RUN!
Wright Institute.....good training, older program (avg starting age is probably 31-32, at least 50% have MS and have been practicing), $$$ because of location, few research opportunities. This is all based on me looking at it when I was applying. I cut because although it had a GREAT feel and a very tight knit group, I didn't like the lack of research options and the internship placement was focused on staying in CA. It seemed to place well in CA, but I didn't want to practice in CA.
Florida Institute of Technology....okay from what I've heard. I know more about their I/O program.
University of Hartford....no idea. I looked at it, but I cut it for some reason.
University of Denver...I've heard good things, but I don't know much about it. CO is clogged with clinicians, so you will have a harder time finding a job if you stay. I think I cut it because of research reasons, though I would have loved to live there for school, Denver is awesome.
Rutgers....one of the top PsyD programs around. Very well respected, nice balance of research, fully funded. One of the oldest PsyDs, and definitely the hardest one to get in. (2%-3%?)
Wright State University.....I know someone who went here and she liked it, though I don't know much about the program.
Baylor University....great program, up there with Rutgers. fully funded, in Waco, TX...so I'm not sure about diversity options. It seemed like a pretty intense schedule, though I think they re-arranged their training so it wouldn't be as crazy. I haven't heard a bad thing about the school.
Indiana State University.....no idea.
Indiana University of Pennsylvania.....I heard good things, I considered it when I was looking, but I can't remember why I cut it. I forget it if was location or research options.
Xavier University.....no idea.
I looked at PsyDs and PhD's, so a balanced research/clinical focus was a requirement. You have a pretty good list here. Any idea your area of interest/research? Make sure to ask each place about placement rates, what they are known for, and where their grads end up working. You want a place that can place competitively and publish competitively, because you want to have a good network to work with when you get out. Even if you don't like research, you want a place that will give you a good foundation, because you need to be at least a consumer of research, and you need to know (well) how to work with research....it can only help inform your clinical work.
Best of luck.
