Hey, I was wondering whether anyone knew of a place I could find statistics on how many people apply vs are accepted for various universities. I haven't been able to find these statistics for a couple schools. Thanks!

Almost all clinical ph.d programs post this information on their website. Click on their clinical psych program link and look for something that says "applicants stats", "applicant info," "admisson data," or something similar. It will be there somewhere for the vast, vast majority of clinical programs. I only looked at university Ph.D. programs though, but Im not sure why psy.d program swould be any different ion this regard.

It is, in fact, required information for any APA accredited program, PhD or PsyD. The problem is that it is called something different at almost every place (though there has been a movement to standardize). Some call it "student characteristics," some call it something else....just hunt around a program's website and you'll find it. It's supposed to be within a few clicks of the main program page.
