Thank you for making such informative videos. These are very helpful. Can you kindly share information regarding which university you are doing your phd from ?
I'm passionate about clinical psychology, but think I would burn out very quickly trying to manage 60 hrs/week. Are there options for people who need a lighter load in order to be successful?
It varies by program, and I must say that there are ways to limit to workload that I may have chosen looking back. For example, there are optional committees and projects that I chose to take on that added to my plate. However, it's a great idea to ask programs that you are interested in/applying to/interviewing for about their support for students to manage the workload. I recommend talking to a current student at the program(s) of interest and seeing how they're doing. I personally think that the passion and time management skills can go a very long way, but you definitely need a strong support system and boundaries in place to take care of yourself during the PhD journey.
Could you elaborate on a sort of schedule or estimste of how many hours per week you spend? Im so curious about trying to get into a program but worry that I wont have a social life or be able to balance my time since I have ADHD and struggle with priority setting/procrastination.. Can you give me any more info or direction on this?
Hey, your videos are so helpful! I am applying to a Clinical Psychology Psy.D. program currently. I figured I'd ask if you would be willing to take a look at it before submitting my application. I would really appreciate your critiques. Please let me know :)
so quick question! I’m an undergrad psych student going into my junior year. should I reach out to faculty at the grad school I’m interested in? or should I wait until I get accepted?
I recommend reaching out when you're preparing to apply. So applications (in the U.S.) are usually due in December, so reaching out the summer before is good - maybe Aug/Sept
