For those who applied to doctoral programs and unfortunately don't end up getting acceptances (don't worry, I was one of those people at one time), check our M.S. in Psychological Sciences program at M.S. in Psychology - Psychological Sciences Graduate Programs | Western Kentucky University. We offer stipends and at least partial (sometimes full dependent upon grant funding) tuition waivers. Apps are due March 1 but it's a soft deadline and we'll accept applications after the deadline. I'll have funding for two students next year, so check us out if doctoral programs don't work out this time around! Feel free to email me with questions at [email protected].

Based on some recent threads, LIU Post is not a good option:

My insane program (LIU Post) has decided to enroll a class of 43 people next year

If you plan on attending LIU Post's PsyD program, I have some grave news. After the firing of two Program Directors in the past 2 years and the rest of the mishaps they've had, they now decided to enroll 43 students for the incoming cohort. If you plan on attending this program, I honestly would...

A new low? PsyD programs recruiting 1st year faculty to be directors

This was mentioned in the LIU-Post thread and then I saw an add for La Salle University, both schools have recruited new hires at assistant professor level to be the directors of their PsyD programs...

Also, Touro is brand new and not APA-accredited, so that's a big risk.

Anyone received acceptances yet? At DU they said we would hear back before April 1st most likely.

Hello! As listed above, I just completed interviews for Hofstra and Kean, and have had awesome experiences with their faculty. Nothing yet from Pace or Rutgers, and LIU said they may not take a class this year.

1. Has anyone heard from Pace PsyD?
2. If a program enrolls a cohort of 12-13, how many do they actually accept?

thanks in advance!

How many students are accepted vs those that matriculate varies wildly from program to program and even faculty to faculty.

 

[Dominique Parra-Thuillier]

Hey, I just received my email from LIU psyd program. They are skipping a year and not accepting any students for the upcoming year…

Hey, I just received my email from LIU psyd program. They are skipping a year and not accepting any students for the upcoming year…

Good for them. They really need time to sort things out.

Yeah I got that too! Seemed kind of arbitrary, they said they’d invite either 0 or 6??

 

[SpouseoftheTruth]

DU sent out an email saying that they would extend all invites by April 1st. I haven't heard anything yet.
