About this title

Synopsis

This perennial bestseller, now in its 2002/2003 edition, is the resource that students count on for the most current information on applying to doctoral programs in clinical or counseling psychology. Based on the authors' ongoing research, the Insider's Guide presents up-to-date facts on more than 275 accredited programs in the United States and Canada. Each program's in-depth profile includes admissions criteria, acceptance rates, research areas, specialty clinics, and more. The book also shows applicants how to determine which programs best meet their needs; obtain prerequisite credits, clinical experience, and research skills; master personal and telephone interviews; and prepare strong application materials. Special features include sample letters and personal statements, an application timeline, worksheets to aid in selecting schools and making informed final decisions, and listings of websites on a variety of topics--from the GREs to financial aid.

New in the 2002/2003 edition are additional data on acceptance rates, enrollment rates, and the average length of time to complete each program; increased information on financial aid; updated appendices on research areas and clinical opportunities; and profiles on 25 additional programs.
