I am so happy it reached out to you hun, you have no idea how much that means to me. I think you should go for it. If sitting in class is a problem hun, you can get a degree in sociology or psychology online and not have to become nauseous when it comes to sitting in a classroom. I obtained mine online, because I had to deal with ignorant people, although I have no choice when it comes to cosmetology. I too get nervous during exams, but I have learned to calm down and just go for it. Big hugs.

I am so sorry for the late response. I will say that I recommend you to continue to pursue your degree in psychology, because it will honestly benefit you when it comes to becoming a makeup artist. You need to be able to deal with different types of people and psychology will help you out. I hope that helps sweetie. Big hugs and much love hun.

I start monday at the Univerisity Of Phoenix in Milwaukee. My roomate actually got me into this school. He loves it, because he can still work && have a social life && get a degree. These videos have been very helpful. I heard some scary stories about degrees online, but I did LOTS of research && this really is a great school. I cant wait to start monday, any advice?

Comment on Insider’s Guide to Graduate Programs in Clinical and Counseling Psychology: 2010/2011 Edition (Insider’s Guide to Graduate Programs in Clinical Psychology) by D. Card

Review by D. Card for Insider's Guide to Graduate Programs in Clinical and Counseling Psychology: 2008/2009 Edition (Insider's Guide to Graduate Programs in Clinical Psychology) Rating: I bought this book to be introduced to the system of Americans Clinical and Counseling Psychology at all and, to get information regarding different psychol. programs, and the process of applying-enrolling into the Universities. The main part of this book dedicated to reports on individual Clinical and Counseling Psychology programs, which looks like list of Universities and their requirements and statistics like recommended courses, GRE and GPA means, % of student receiving, Research areas and so on..Book also contains a lot of tips and advices, like for example, interview's strategic, letters of Recommendation (with samples), format for Curriculum Vitae, even worksheets for choosing programs, for Assessing Program Criteria and for Making Final Choices..etc..A lot of links to the Internet-resourses, where you can find an additional information about accredited programs and so forth.. I found it really very useful.
The only one point which a little bit disapointed me (that's the only reason for 4-stars rating) - the lack information about Master's programms. So, this guide will be great for those, who plans to get PhD or PsyD. Or for undergraduate student, because it give the basic introducing information as well, too.

Review by Lizard for Insider's Guide to Graduate Programs in Clinical and Counseling Psychology: 2008/2009 Edition (Insider's Guide to Graduate Programs in Clinical Psychology) Rating: This book is very helpful when giving information about Clinical Psych Doctoral Programs. It lists every school and their stats. There are also the websites for each school so you can go there and find more information on your own. I liked having all the programs in one place so that I could organize myself and choose a school for myself. There are also very helpful tips on how to to apply and what to do regarding the application process. There is also a helpful timeline which tells you what part of the application process you should be on.

Review by Paul Ekman Fan for Insider's Guide to Graduate Programs in Clinical and Counseling Psychology: 2008/2009 Edition (Insider's Guide to Graduate Programs in Clinical Psychology) Rating: In academia, way more so than in other fields, the program where one got their career _started_ carries disproportionate weight going forward. Compare this to any other field! Not only is prestige a necessary factor, but with psych being your niche in academia, other factors come into play. It's important to weigh going into the clinical and counseling side versus the research side of things. Not only that, but you must know what is being funded and what your potential faculty mentors are doing (because these things affect what you can do too).

Review by David H. Peterzell for Insider's Guide to Graduate Programs in Clinical and Counseling Psychology: 2008/2009 Edition (Insider's Guide to Graduate Programs in Clinical Psychology) Rating: As a university lecturer at three universities, I get plenty of questions about these things. I hear plenty of horror stories from students about faulty or non-existent mentoring in these areas. There is plenty of advice out there to be had from ignorant, indifferent, or hostile sources. A big problem is that many professors and staff in psychology departments at major universities don't have knowledge or interest in clinical and counseling psychology. They may be openly hostile to the entire field, or toward areas and programs they perceive as being too unscientific. Even among supportive mentors, there isn't enough time to mentor students on all these issues. For many professors, finding quality time with students sucks time from writing papers and chasing grants. Your best bet is to use this book to master the basics. Find a great mentor and use that person's time to fine tune your thinking and turbo-charge your applications.

My advice is to start here if you are serious about getting into grad school. Or, take a look at the APA's book, "Getting In", which is on the same topic. I don't care for the APA books as much as the insider's guide, but your mileage may vary. Also, you can probably get a copy of the 2006/07 guide for almost nothing. The earlier version contains good general information and *almost* up to date info.

And if you want your life as a grad student to go well at at the Big U, then make sure to consult the following classics: (Do this even if you aren't considering an academic career)

David Sternberg's "How to Complete and Survive a Dissertation."
Robert Sternberg's "Psychology 101 1/2: The Unspoken Rules for Success in Academia"

Another must read, for future academics:
Darley et al's "The Compleat Academic: A Career Guide"

And for future clinical and counseling psychologists:
Yalom's "The Gift of Therapy: An Open Letter to a New Generation of Therapists and Their Patients"

Get these other books. Do it. This stuff is worth its weight in gold.

Review by pandachelle for Insider's Guide to Graduate Programs in Clinical and Counseling Psychology: 2010/2011 Edition (Insider's Guide to Graduate Programs in Clinical Psychology) Rating: If you were to choose one book to help you apply to grad school, this is it. It's like sitting down with the world's best psychology advisor. It tells you how to play the game and win. I was extremely anxious about applying for grad school before, and now I feel very excited and prepared armed with this book.

Review by Anna C Warren for Insider's Guide to Graduate Programs in Clinical and Counseling Psychology: 2010/2011 Edition (Insider's Guide to Graduate Programs in Clinical Psychology) Rating: This book is a FANTASTIC summary of all possible research that can be done on clinical/counseling psych grad programs. It has helped me tremendously in applying to schools. The book has helped me be more organized and less stressed, seeing that all of the important information/deciding factors of the various programs are right at my fingertips. Very helpful worksheets are included at the back of the book in order to compare your top schools/programs. I cannot say enough good things about this book! I would recommend it to anyone/everyone interested in attending clinical/counseling psych grad school or to anyone that has any type of interaction with potential students.

Review by Deanna Peugeot for Insider's Guide to Graduate Programs in Clinical and Counseling Psychology: 2010/2011 Edition (Insider's Guide to Graduate Programs in Clinical Psychology) Rating: This book is INDISPENSABLE when applying to graduate programs in clinical and counseling psychology, and as others state, not just a bunch of program statistics. Sure, it has all the statistics you need to start narrowing down to schools that are a good fit, but it tells you so much more. I would bet that 90%+ of successful clinical Ph.D. students have either read or used this book in some manner, it is that useful and valuable (no I don't have data to back that up.) When you go on interviews for graduate school though it will be clear that everyone is playing from the same script, and for good reason, the successful candidate presents themselves in a manner that is professional and prepared. Having been through the application process twice, I would have fared better had I paid closer attention to some of what the authors stated, my second time through was very successful and I am in a great program. I don't think I would have made it without the information in this book.

Review by Boston NoSox for Insider's Guide to Graduate Programs in Clinical and Counseling Psychology: 2010/2011 Edition (Insider's Guide to Graduate Programs in Clinical Psychology) Rating: I teach in a department of psychology, and this is one of my go-to books when I advise students who are considering grad school in clinical psychology. An earlier version was my bible when I applied to grad school, and I think it's only gotten better since. Wonderful resource - it really helps students narrow down their lists and think through all the necessary elements of their applications.
