Application Process Admission to the Clinical Psychology
Program is extremely competitive. Typically, the program receives
over 400 applications
for approximately 4-6 positions. Data regarding the academic records
of our admitted students are avaiable here.
However, it should be noted that in addition to measures of academic
achievement, successful applicants also typicaly have significant
research experience prior to graduate school.
Admitted
applicants
usually
have
participated in undergraduate research projects, Honors/Senior
Theses, and/or additional research experience in post-baccalaureate
years. Because of the large number of applications the Clinical Program receives each year, the application deadline is December 1, although completed applications received by January 1 will be considered. Applicants invited for an on-campus interview will be notified no-later than mid-February of each year. Applicants not invited for an interview, or with marginal academic scores or records (i.e., GRE's below 1,100 or GPA's below 3.0) may hear earlier that their application is no longer under consideration.

Admissions Information |
Personal
statements and letters of recommendation are used to assess applicants'
potential to succeed as an independent investigator, to generate
novel hypotheses, and to be a productive scholar and consumer of
scientific literature, in research and/or practice. Although applicants
admitted to the Clinical
Program usually have majored in psychology, other majors
are acceptable if students have completed a significant number
of psychology
credits,
especially courses in psychological statistics, biological psychology,
personality theory, abnormal behavior, developmental, and social
psychology. Applicants with Master's degrees occasionally are accepted.
When appropriate, these students may receive exemptions from a
few
of the departmental course requirements, although they typically
complete all clinical course work and practica.
