Hey all,
So I have been applying to both PhD and MA programs in counseling (and a couple of clinical).
I currently have an offer at a clinical and am on the wait list at a legit counseling program (and I have acceptances at MA programs as well). I tend to underestimate myself I think and I know that getting into these programs is an accomplishment in its own right but I have this sort of fear that once I get in I somehow won't be able to hack it. On paper I am obviously a strong candidate, I got several interviews, etc....
Is this normal? Do other people experience these worries? The program excepts mostly people with MA's as well and though I am a bit older I worry about coming straight from a BA and having taken a year off academic work....
I just wanted some feedback/venting....Thanks!!
(hope I am not coming off as too crazy/unstable...)
