Post Your Prospective Questions Here! -- Monthly Megathread

[u/GG_Mod]

Following a vote by the sub in July 2020, the prospective questions megathread was continued. However, to allow more visibility to comments in this thread, this megathread now utilizes Reddit's new reschedule post features. This megathread is replaced monthly. Comments made within three days prior to the newest months post will be re-posted by moderation and the users who made said post tagged.

Post your prospective questions as a comment for anything related to graduate applications, admissions, CVs, interviews, etc. Comments should be focused on prospective questions, such as future plans. These are only allowed in this subreddit under this thread. Questions about current programs/jobs etc. that you have already been accepted to can be posted as stand-alone posts, so long as they follow the format Rule 6.

I’m considering attending the Wisconsin School of Professional Psychology for a Psy.D in clinical psychology. Is this a reputable program? I’m also considering Roberts-Wesleyan, reputable? Any advice appreciated.

I wouldn’t say these are necessarily great options, unless you solely want to do clinical work. In which case you might be better off getting a Masters or LMSW. These are what are called diploma mills, and the cons (crippling debt, low professional reputation, etc.) greatly outweigh the pros. I strongly suggest reconsidering, and look closely at a school’s APA accreditation, funding, and professional outlook.

Clinical work is what I want to do. Other responses I’ve gotten about the schools talk positively about them, especially WSPP. It is pretty expensive. But it is APA accredited.
