Criteria Used in Evaluating and Selecting Applicants
The Admissions Committee uses a number of criteria in evaluating applicants. Essential functions include:
- Excellent academic background, including psychology-related courses
- Personal suitability for a career in clinical psychology, as evidenced by ability to relate to others, warmth, empathy, and a deep interest in psychological processes
- Motivations, expectations, and career aspirations congruent with the nature of this program
- Successful experience in psychology-related activities (clinical and research) in paid, volunteer, or trainee status
The Admissions Committee has conducted an all-day group interview process for the top 20 - 40 applicants. These are candidates who have been screened from the total pool of applicants using the above criteria and deemed to be the best match for the Program. Interview Day begins with a program overview, moves to individual interviews, and also includes group activities.
Interview Day is typically scheduled for late February or early March of each year.
