I received a phone acceptance earlier this week from the University of Denver's GSPP Clinical Psych PsyD program. I'm strongly considering this offer over a few others (one PhD, several PsyDs). I have been very impressed with Denver from the start considering their strong interdisciplinary program, the opportunity to specialize in several different areas (psychodynamic, intersubjectivity, sports, organization, et cetera), well-established clinical training opportunities at their clinic and within Denver, as well as their high APA acceptance rates (this year ~95%).
This perception of mine was strengthened at their interview day while interacting with students and faculty. I felt there was a very strong community atmosphere there with students genuinely enjoying their experiences and growth. Additionally, it seemed like they all enjoyed a very good quality of life, with a high emphasis on self-care and enjoying their lives outside of grad school. At least that's the vibe I got compared to other programs at which I interviewed. Maybe it's the Midwest lifestyle, maybe it's the mountain air...I don't know.
I wanted to see if anyone could share their own thoughts about the University of Denver. I would greatly appreciate any insights out there. Thanks.
