there are a couple of good threads on wright if you do a search. There are some good things and some not good things. If you want an apa internship, then it may not be a great choice because their apa match rate is poor.
Stay far far away from ciis.
As for loma linda...the apa match rates are poor, though better than the other two listed programs: 64%, 70%, 67%, 73%, 50%, 50%, 50%.
The real concern is with the cost: "example, based on normal progression through the program: Psy.d. Degree, $29,483.00 x 4 years = $117,932.00, plus 1 year of internship at $2,640.00, plus 5 years of university fees = $12,980.00 = total cost of $133,552.00."
that doesn't include cost of living. In california.
Thanks so much for the responses. Yea the CIIS program is chancy since it could/could not be revoked by August. As goes for Wright, from what I hear, the APA intern matching is low since no one wants to move away from the area...which sounds weird.....but what is good about it is that the professor-student relationships are very strong and the admissions dept. says that they are the top school in terms of spending money to ensure that students have the most personal 1-on-1 contact with professors in the country. As goes for Loma Linda, the program seems to be much more difficult than the others so the question is, does the name of the school and the fact that it's a university add more value to the fact of going there...I don't know..is teacher-student interaction and closeness more important or the latter?
actually the cohort is split into 3 groups so would be around 17 and that is again split into 3 groups so each professor is responsible for group of 5-6 students.

You have had 11 response by various posters and nobody has actually recommended that you go to any of the 3 schools on your list.
hahahah good point
That's nothing special. Many faculty members mentor fewer than 5 or 6 graduate students at the same time (and at more reputable schools).
Also, those 5-6 students are generally spread out over all the cohorts in the program, not 5-6 students each year.
I'd actually say even 2-4 students/year is on the large end for university programs. Most places I looked at took one student per lab per year (MAYBE 2), with frequent years off. I think 7 (total across all years) is the largest number of students I know of any faculty member advising here. The faculty I work with right now will generally have no more than 2-4 grad students total at any given time (though they also take post-docs and mentor junior faculty, so I suppose that should count too).
These sound like PhD programs that you guys are talking about...PsyD's don't have to really do labs or research in depth...the student/teacher ratio of 6-8 I am referring to is in the classroom...not research/lab setting
