Thanks so much for the comments and feedback! My new school psychology video is now live. How to get into a school psychology program: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eWTTEKJCQCs.html
Would love to see more of these! I am in my first year in a School Psychology Program in Brooklyn and it was nice to see someone else’s experience since not a lot of people post about being in it.
So far so good I just finished up my first semester. I found the cognitive assessment class more difficult, but I feel like because I’m a part time student and the class ran until 9:30, by 8pm I was shot and that’s when she’d start teaching the important stuff lol but the program itself is great! I’m feel like I am learning a lot
@@JaniceAnn I can definitely agree that I've learned a lot within one semester. Even in a short amount of time, I feel like I've already acquired tons of skills and knowledge to becoming a great school psych. Maybe it's because it's such a niche field?
Are you in Brooklyn College? Just asking. I'm doing my undergrad at Brooklyn College and plan on doing my masters here as well. Pursuing a career in School Psych.
OMG!! i just found your channel and i’m literally binge watching all your videos, love you girl you’re amazing and also let’s talk about how BEAUTIFUL you are💘
Hi! I’m so happy to find you and this video! I’m currently waiting to hear back from school psychology PhD programs and I’m so nervous... thanks for sharing this and I hope you’re having an amazing winter break because I think you deserve it!
Jem aw good luck!! I hope you get in 😄 I think it’s a wonderful profession that not a lot of people know about. I’m currently in Greece with my family but I’ll be back soon to start my second semester~
Tiffany Lee Thank you so much!! I don’t know how you dealt with the waiting period but I’m going crazy haha. I’m excited to see maybe future school psych vlogs or q and a. Anyways, Greece sounds amazing and I hope you’re having a great time! Happy new year!
I wanted to update you and say I got invited to interview at my top program! I have the interview on February 1st and I’m so nervous yet so excited and grateful!
Tiffany Lee I feel like it went well! I really really loved it. Now I’m in the waiting process to see if I get accepted or rejected haha. I hope you’re doing well!
@@TiffanyLee My program is alright. I am mostly worried about getting my practicum hours. I like that I'm learning more about learning disabilities and behavioral issues.
Tiffany Lee that would be great! 💃🏾 and yes, once i graduate from undergrad lol. I’m a sophmore but I’ve been looking into different universities & their programs!
I am in my undergrad right now and plan on getting my LSSP .. which is basically Texas's Eds. (and other states) but I will be graduating with my BS in a year so I love watching these videos. Please please make more!
please keep these videos coming. I've been looking for this kind of vlog for school psychologist for a while now. What state is your school located in, if you don't mind me asking?
mary youmaran I think my experiences after graduating from college helped my application! But overall, depends on where you apply and what you have to offer to the program. I recently uploaded my application video so please check it out 🙏🏻
Love your video. I was just recently accepted into a school psych program in GA. Can you make a video about the field, why you decided to pursue the career, etc.?
Hey I start my school psychology program in Georgia on Jan 14. I am so nervous and excited! I would love more videos as well 😊😊 as I don’t know what to expect.
@@TiffanyLee Thank you :) I decided on School Psychology because I want to work (and make a difference) in a school setting. I just graduated in December with a BS in psychology, and I didn't really want to become a teacher or a school counselor. I wanted to work behind the scenes in a way. I cannot wait to watch your upcoming videos!
@@imanietheridge2493 I start on the 14th as well... This may be crazy, but we may be in the same cohort!!!! Lol, I really don't know what to expect either.
Hi, can you please make a video of School Psychology programs? I have applied to programs in California like CSU and UC. What do you think about private universities such as Alliant International University, National University, University of La Verne, and Azusa Pacific University? How can I pay for Graduate School? Loans? Fellowships? Grants? What’s a good GRE score and how to study for GRE? Good GPA? Application process? Personal statement? Sorry it’s a lot of information so glad I found you! Thanks!
Hi Elizabeth! Those are some great questions- I can only speak from personal experience but would love to make a video related to admissions and programs 😄 thanks so much for stopping by ❤️
awesome! i'm still only in year 11(gotta wait 3 more years till university :( ) I want to be a clinical psychologist and i was curious about how university is like .
Yes, we work with a wide range of students, including many with disabilities. As a school psychologist, we can identify students into different categories (autism, emotional disability, specific learning disorder, etc) for special education but we cannot formally diagnose them.
Question I’m a high school senior I haven’t started school yet but this school year is really important for I can start applying to college so pls respond do you think that someone like me with a not so good math skills and science skills do you think I can do it. I honestly will study to be better at math science is not that difficult for me but it isn’t easy for me. And I would really enjoy working with kids. I would study and do my best to be able to do this. And how did you pay for this did you have two jobs that help you payed it? Do you still have these jobs or no?
Hello~ I worked for a few years after graduating college (majored in psychology) to figure out what I wanted to do. During those years, I gained a lot of experience in various related fields and saved money for school. I currently do not work at the restaurant but I still work at the private school. I think grad school gives you the flexibility to have a part time job to help pay for bills/tuition
How many hours was your practicum in the first year? About to start an EdS program in the fall and trying to figure out what to expect. Thanks for the videos!
I think the expectation was about 8 hours every week (so one full day or two half days) during the semester. Our second semester practicum wasn't measured in hours but the number of cases we completed (5 full cognitive cases in the clinic). Each program is different and some push all of practicum to the second year.
Hi, I just found your channel and I really like it. Is it okay to ask how old you are? Or maybe give me an estimate of how long it would take me to become a psychologist, like how many years starting from the end of high school. A clinical psychologist. Is it something you would be able to major in while learning something else like writing or do you feel like you have to dedicate, kind of, your life to the profession?
Hey Raki! Typically, clinical psychology programs are PhD or PsyD programs so they are 4-5 years long. If you account for four years of undergrad and five years of grad school, it would take around 9 years after high school to be a practicing psychologist. My program is only 3 years including internship, though, since it's a specialist level, not a PhD
yes they should be just as good! are you planning to practice in california? I'm sure the connections through practicum and related training will make it easier for you to land a job. that being said though, i heard it is becoming more competitive in certain areas of california.
Love this video! I'm going to apply to a grad program for School Psych this year... would love to hear your thoughts on different programs and your decision process! CSUs, National University, Brandman, and University of the Pacific are the schools I'm looking into.. anyone have any experiences with these schools?
Thanks so much for watching! It's really awesome to see so many of you who are interested in the field. I'll try to gather all the questions and make a short q & a video soon!
Janette Blanco I did for one semester so it’s definitely possible but very exhausting as you can imagine. I currently only have one job but also am wedding planning 😂 you have options depending on your priorities
@@TiffanyLee wedding planning is a job in and of itself! Congrats on your engagement and your upcoming wedding! Thank you for taking the time to chat with me a little!
I am starting grad school in a few months, your videos are so helpful! I am planning on working when I start. How many hours did you work when you film this? This might be subjective but how many hours do you think is ok for a grad student to take on? Thanks!
Hi Dina!! During my first semester, I worked around 40 hours a week. It definitely wasn't easy but it's possible! This semester, I cut down to only tutoring and taking assessment clients so my budget is tighter but I have more time for school and other projects. Hope this helps! Good luck in grad school :)
no, they may have overlapping job descriptions but they have different qualifications and specific tasks (i.e. psychologists are the only people qualified to administer cognitive assessments and they also help with special ed. eligibility while counselors help with all student mental wellbeing and possibly student scheduling).
