Psy.D Top 5 Lowest Acceptance Rates

[sukurux]

Findings based off of Peterson's website:

Rutgers University 8%
George Washington University 8%
Indiana University of Pennsylvania 9%
Indiana State University 12%
Yeshiva University 13%

(I know I'm missing some important programs, but there was no data for them. Let me know if you find them.)

I'm not sure how accurate those are, as I just took a quick look at Rutgers and the %'s for the last 3 years for their Psy.D: 5.7%, 4.1%, 5.5%

Yeah I'd say Rutgers is less than 8 percent.
Also GW being up there really surprised me..no one even talks about their program...ever.
Weird.

I know that Baylor is harder than IUP. From what I understand, they get 130 apps for about 7 spots for 5.3%. Should be inline with Rutgers from the second poster.

GW's a good program, though I'd still put it below Rutgers and Baylor.

The average acceptance rate at the Virginia Consortium Program over the last 5 years is 5.5%. I wish that program was mentioned in this forum more often. It provides full funding, and it is university based, which may get overlooked because its name makes it sound like a professional school, which it is not.

can you link the info?

Ya, that is a great bargain for a Psy.D. program.

I considered the Virginia Consortium, but it wasn't a good fit for me. I REALLY liked that I could take classes at multiple schools within the system, but in the end it wasn't the best fit.

Hey all,

I haven't been back to these forums in a while, but I am a grad student at the Virginia COnsortium. I'd be glad to answer any questions you might have about the program.
