Hi everyone,
Maybe it's just that my results after interviews haven't been so great so far, but I would like to keep some options open in case I don't get into any PsyD programs. I don't know what the likelihood of that is, but it never hurts to prepare for contingencies. I originally thought that I would get into a program given the amount of interviews I received and so I didn't apply for any masters. My last school gives out acceptances up to April 1st and I hope to at least know something before sending out these apps.
I would like to keep costs down a bit, so I would like to apply to UC & CSU programs that will give me a good chance for a Clinical Psychology PhD or PsyD after graduating from there. I know Cal State Los Angeles has an M.A. program that takes students up to April 10th and while I would like to have the ability to be licensed as an MFT in a worst case scenario and more clinical experience in my program, it will do if no other choices remain. Any other MA & MS programs that meet my needs will be a good help, so I'm hoping you guys will help me out. I have a really good Psychology GPA & GRE score and both research and clinical experience, so I should be able to get into a good amount of programs unless I've just been interviewing that poorly.
