Preparing for Clinical PhD rejections

[UhOh]

Members do not see this ad.

Hi all,

I'm curious about the chances of getting accepted after the application process is over for Clinical programs (i.e., after April 15th). I've heard briefly that after April 15th, APA posts a list of programs with openings somewhere. Does anyone know when this list becomes available and how the process for applying to these programs works? Has anyone seen this list before and know what types of programs are usually on it? Does anyone know where the list is located or where I can view past lists?

The list is usually posted here: http://www.apa.org/education/grad/applying.aspx

If you click the link to graduate school openings 2010, you will get here: http://www.apa.org/education/grad/department-openings.aspx

I can't comment on the chances of getting in, but finding a match out of these slim pickings (especially not-for-profit Clinical PhD Programs) is going to be rough. Still, if I don't get in I will likely consult this list and hope there is a match somewhere.

Great, thank you! The list looks awful. And I agree - finding a match would be hard. Hopefully neither of us will have to consult this list!

Perhaps the poster was referring to the lack of clinical psychology Ph.D. programs...?

If that's the case, I'd imagine they--as well as many of the Psy.D. programs--would only begin posting openings once April 15th has come and gone.
