You read my mind lol I was considering School Psychology since I'm honestly really lost right now in what I want to do and this video was perfect timing. I'm deciding between Clinical, School, or I/O Psychology. Very different routes lol, but I love your channel it's very helpful :)
Thank you so much for your kind words! It’s so hard making a decision about which road to go! I would say clinical and school are pretty similar but I/O is a whole different ball game I think 😂 good luck deciding 💕💕
Hi. So I typically don’t talk about my stats to get in as a way to encourage people not to get caught up in the stats of applications. Plus I don’t ever want someone to feel like because their stats are less than mine that they don’t have a shot a grad school. Each school and professor is looking for different things from year to year. I think there are some general stats like gpa above 3.5, GRE scores above the 50th/65th percentile. Each school should publish their stats of the incoming class (and all their cohorts for the last five years) on their website.
Ahhh! I see. Sorry I misunderstood! So in terms of research I didn’t have any “clinical” research experiences. I had a year of research experience in public health about Black men and then like 3 summers of research with other labs. then a year post bacc experience with research. BUT I will say it really depends on what your area of interest is in and what the mentor is looking for. Like my mentor at the time I applied was looking for someone with community based research experience, which I had. Each year it changes in terms of what the person is looking for sure.
Thank you Austin, this was helpful
This was really thorough- so happy you’re doing this. Thank you Austin!

It helps to know I am not the only one who was undecided.
This video was the FIRST video to answer all of my questions. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU for watching!
Thank you so much! Can you do a video comparing PHDs with PSYDs and what each is better for? :)
I’m a step ahead of you! Check out this video here - th-cam.com/video/XvNdzTmWKr0/w-d-xo.html 💕
Thank you!! I am currently a school psychology grad student and am looking to transition into a clinical grad program instead.
Thank you for watching! This video was perfect for you !!
Can you tell me how you plan to do this transition? I’m on same boat
This was very helpful 👍
Glad it was helpful!
I am currently a school psychologist and looking into clinical psychology.
Great! Austin was in a school psychology doctoral program and then switched to clinical psych! It’s definitely possible 💜

Renae's Corner yes I know the basics for gpa and gre but I meant research experience and things of the sort
