Important Admissions Information

    Admission to the program conforms to the following guidelines. Please note that our admission
decisions are made according to a clinical model, where an application is viewed holistically rather
than as a series of "hurdles" to clear. Nevertheless, some general benchmarks are:

1. Interested students should request an application or visit the link to the left for the online version.

2. Scores of 450 V, 500 Q, and 4.0 Analytical Writing on the GRE are preferred minimums, although
   they are not "hard" cut scores. In addition, it is preferred that no one score (V or Q) is lower than 400.

3. Other critical admission standards are: 3.0 GPA in all coursework OR 3.25 in psychology coursework
   INCLUDING repeated courses; transcripts from all colleges attended; and three letters of
   recommendation using the forms in the application packet. Other requirements are listed in the
   application packet or on the Graduate School website.

4. Applications are first reviewed in early February. Decisions may be made at any time after the first review.  

5. Applications will be accepted as long as open positions remain in the program. However,
   late applications may miss deadlines for scholarships and other financial aid. Thus, we encourage
   applicants to use FEBRUARY 1 as a completion target for their applications.
