Many applicants who think they want a clinical PhD would be as happy, or even happier, with a Master’s degree in social work or counseling. Faster, higher acceptance rates, and a job market at the end. Do the research before you apply!
Did you know that it is harder to get into clinical psych grad school (Ph.D) than any other graduate program? More than med school, law school, or even vet school!
Only 8% acceptance rate nationally!
This site is chock full of info on getting in:

I have many friends who are AEs and EICs at journals across psychology and other social sciences. Regular reports of manuscripts sitting 3-5 months before triage, 15+ review requests sent to get a single (or even NO) reviews, huge delays in getting R&R resubmissions..

I instituted several changes to the submission portal at Clinical Psych Science which serve to advance the primary missions of the journal. One of these relates to our commitment to elevating diversity and representation in our topics, our authors, our scientific practice. 1/7

I still remember meeting Scott for the first time, as a 1st year graduate student at SRP. I was in such awe of this brilliant scholar, and couldn't believe how warm, kind, and generous he was on top of that! Such an enormous loss for clinical science.
It is with great sadness that I share the news that Scott Lilienfeld passed away last night. His wife Candice asked that I share the news with his professional community. The field has lost a giant, & more importantly, for many, a kind & thoughtful friend. My heart is heavy.

Within psychology, I've thought a lot about the myth of the "solitary genius" as I feel it's played a large role in our replication crisis - when we deny science as a collaborative effort and overcredit individuals for scientific findings, we promote this fallacy

I wrote a bit more about the genius question here, when the book came out in February.

Yesterday I watched my grandmother’s memorial service on Zoom after canceling my family’s travel plans last minute.
People should be able to grieve with their families but we all have choices to make and I believe these choices matter now as much as ever.
Cancelled my Christmas party this weekend at the last minute out of an abundance of caution.
At least one would-be guest has tested positive today. One superspreader event avoided.
