Hi all prospective applicants (and others)!
I noticed there wasn't a thread yet for the 2020 application cycle, which would be useful as deadlines approach.
Not sure what the norm is for content, but I'll start us off.
This is my second time applying to clinical psychology programs. I submitted last year with bare minimum qualifications, mediocre GRE scores and insufficient research experience. 2019 has been eventful! I got a full-time research assistant gig at a well-respected government trauma research center. I increased all sections of my GRE score. And I have a flipping fantastic research mentor who has helped me refine my career and research goals. Whew. My focus is maternal functioning in the context of adversity and violence, and how trauma negatively impacts parenting and the parent-child relationship (specifically for mothers). I'm both terrified and excited for the future possibilities!
How is everyone else doing? Are apps going well?
