Student Admissions, Outcomes, and Other Data (.pdf)

Each year we receive between 300 and 350 completed applications for admission to our clinical psychology program. A variety of bases for admission are utilized, although some common themes emerge. Applicant's GRE scores and grades are usually quite high (see chart below). In our search for qualified graduate students, we look for the potential to conduct original research, to engage in scholarship, to work effectively with others, including future clients, and to have an impact on the broader field of clinical psychology. We seek applicants who are interested both in research and in clinical practice.  It is important for applicants to consider and to articulate potential matches with the research interests of one or more potential faculty mentors. While an undergraduate integrative psychology major is not required, most of our students were psychology majors. Every year about 20 applicants are contacted for interviews with our faculty. Interviews are required for clinical applicants. Interviews take place in late January - early February with invitations extended a few weeks prior to interviews.

All students accepted into the program are guaranteed five years of stipend support, as well as full tuition. Stipends may be based on fellowships, research or teaching assistant positions, or, for more senior students, their own external research support.
