Links & Thanks
Thanks to:
- Fellow GAG (Graduate Aspirations Group) members Amy, Olga, Alek, and Kari for their time, assistance, advice, and input.
- My former advisors, Dr. Frank McAndrew at Knox College and Dr. Glenn Shean at College of William & Mary. Thank you so much for writing me letters, inspiring me, supporting me along the way, and helping me get to where I am now!
- Other former recommenders, Dr. Pat Dowd at the USDA - NCAUR and Dr. Kent Kiehl at the Mind Research Network/University of New Mexico.
- My parents, Art & Jane, for listening to me fret and for their monetary assistance (I couldn't have done it without you...!)
- Last but not least, my fiance, Dan, for dealing with my crazy, app-related mood swings
Helpful links:
- Insider's Guide to Programs in Clinical and Counseling Psychology. Buy this book... seriously, BUY THIS BOOK!
- number2.com. Great free online GRE prep.
- The Psychology Graduate Applicant's Portal. An oldie, but goodie! (Yeah, I hate it when people say that, too).
- How To Apply To Graduate School. Pretty self-explanatory. A psychology-geared site.
- U.S. & Canada Clinical Psychology Program Rankings. Rankings aren't everything, of course, but they aren't exactly nothing, either...
- Wifi Free Spot. Find establishments with free wifi near you!
- My former advisor, Dr. Frank McAndrew, has a website with a ton of links to great online resources for just about anything you could want to learn about the field of psychology, including careers.
- PsiChi has an article or two about clinical psych grad programs. They're only one page and they're not as wordy as me, if you're in a hurry. But they also won't tell you the shocking truths I can give you the scoop on. (By the way, joining Psi Chi? Great line for the CV).
- A sobering discussion. Gives an example of an outstanding student who got roundly rejected, and some professors' thoughts as to why that happened.
