2021 Information Sessions
The TRUST Lab recently hosted two information sessions for prospective students interested in the UCLA Clinical Psychology graduate program.

Topics included common questions in applying, determining program and mentor fit with research, interviewing, and attendee submitted questions. Unfortunately she is unable to reply to individual emails or have individual phone or zoom calls with prospective students, and there is no need to email Dr. Ng to introduce yourself or send her your CV.

When we make decisions, we often don’t immediately know what to choose. What is the process by which we evaluate and compare our options? My work combines choice-process data and computational modeling to understand how we gather and process information while making preference-based decisions.

I might be able to get it up to a 3.65 by the time I'm done with school next year. I understand that this is on the low end for clinical psych PhD applicants. My goal is to get into a decent, fully ...

Hi everyone, i plan on applying to clinical PhD programs in the cycle of 2025 to be admitted in 2026. I wanted to get people's input on whether it is necessary that I go get some clinical experience given that I virtually have none.
Currently working on my masters in Clinical Psychology with a focus on Neuroscience. I'll start applying to PhD programs (in the U.S. Tri-State area in the Fall). Just curious what you think is the most competitive area these days? Seems like Physics and CS are intensely difficult to get into along with neuroscience PhD programs.
This subreddit is for anyone who is going through the process of getting into graduate school, and for those who've been there and have advice to give.

What will is getting you to look up the professional surveys on income. Someone is the max on that. So… between $60k-$900k. Outside of me, there are people on SDN who make less than $40k/yr, and some that can make $40k in 2 weeks. 2) Learn the CPT codes used in psychology. This is easily found on APA sites via google.
The Psychology Department is also excited to offer new Spring 2024 Enrollment Workshops to provide enrollment assistance to departmental majors (Psychology, Psychobiology, and Cognitive Science).
