What impressed you negatively?

"Would have preferred an individual interview" More from this Member | Report Response

"The students have TA or RA positions which cover half of their tuition. On top of that, most of them work part-time in psychology jobs. In spite of this, most of them graduate with about a hundred thousand in debt. The program starts in June." More from this Member | Report Response

"The first interviewing professor was combative and made inappropriate comments about my job and place of work. Funding is tight. Students have to work a lot to afford the program. The neighborhood of the school offers little; I was warned about the dangers of riding the train at night or by myself. Students do not live in the neighborhood and most must drive to get to practica sites and to school. " More from this Member | Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"The sheer amount of debt - I wouldn't have applied. They have an interesting break-down of job ratios after graduation: first hospital settings, then, something else, then private practice, and last acadamia." More from this Member | Report Response

"School starts June 1st. " More from this Member | Report Response

What are your general comments?

"The professors were friendly and impressive and the current students were encouraging and seemed highly motivated" More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall, the interview day made me feel unvalued as an applicant. There was no one-on-one time at all, no scheduled interviews with grad students, and no offer to stay with grad students. All the other schools at which I interviewed had some or all of these things. There was also a huge number of applicants at the open house. It felt very much like a rote process without much personal touch. They gave you option of leaving after your last interview rather than staying for all the activities. It didn't inspire me to to make any effort of my own." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interviews were too brief and I felt over-qualified for their program, but was put on their waitlist. Poor communication from the faculty, misrepresentation of the faculty about their research interests..." More from this Member | Report Response
