Abstract | What do psychology doctorate programs require and prefer in their master's level applicants? Do the programs value students' graduate experiences during and postadmission? Doctoral programs' (n = 221) responses to an online survey showed that most required letters of recommendation, personal statements, Graduate Records Examination scores, and undergraduate grade point average. These credentials, interviewing skills, and student-mentor research match are crucial to admission decisions. However, clinical PhD, counseling PhD, clinical and counseling PsyD, practice subfields (e.g., school psychology), and research subfields (e.g., social psychology) evaluated differently 8 of the 26 credentials. Master's-level applicants benefit more than bachelor's-level applicants when beginning their doctoral work (e.g., having their master's theses waived), but the advantages vary by subfields. Implications and recommendations for doctoral applicants are discussed. (As Provided). |
