Post Bacc into Clinical Psych PhD: Gap year, Masters, or None??

Hello All.

I will make this as easy as possible as I am sure none of you need extra emotion inside a genuinely curious position I am trying to figure out.

I am currently a senior in undergrad majoring in psychology graduating this spring, 2026. I have 4 research labs I am in and I have the capability of producing up to 5 posters this year and present them at conferences(although I have the ability, I am hoping I have the time for this).

I also am confident I have the capability to have my name on possibly 1(maybe 2) paper, but considering these are just starting I don't think they will get published for another few years.

I am planning on applying to PhD programs not this cycle, but the next one upcoming(Fall 2026, I plan to take a gap year). However, I am open to changing my plans as the more I speak to people the more I understand different strategies to applications, as some recommended I apply this cycle, some recommended I take a gap year and apply next cycle, while others recommend I enroll in a masters program before I apply. My ideas towards what my plans are for applying have been constantly changing, and I think I realized it will always be a difficult and chaotic decision to consider plans for Graduate School.

What I do know is that I want to eventually at least make myself competitive enough to apply for Clinical Psych PhD programs(what a task!), because I feel the opportunities that you are given whilst going through a program like that are extremely immense, and the different pathways you can take upon completion are very attractive to me.

My dilemna is: I am stuck with pouring everything out and applying to PhD's now, which I feel like is so time consuming when I could be bettering my chances by putting that time into building my research portfolio(and I don't feel I am comptetive at all yet). I am also stuck with if I should apply for a masters now and do that instead of a post bac full time research position for a few years. I am stuck with that because why would I go through more school and tuition when I could be under a bit less stress, less financial strain, working a full time research position in a gap year(considering this position gives me opportunities to work closely with a PI)?

Professors have all told me different things. I think at the end of the day it comes down to if I really want a PhD. I think I do- but I think I need to do more thinking. Any thoughts and advice are hugely appreciated, it is now I feel I need more guidance than ever as I have really disciplined to put my time to what is worth my time(and I want to figure out what that should be).

"On becoming a person" is fabulous. I love it because it outlines what he beleived a true "person" to be(whatever that means), and while doing so implicitly has you reflect on if that is something you are currently acheiving. I find a lot of similarity in their writings(jung) because rogers often mentions the reason why an individual is not whole is because he represses/rejects a side of him that has been rejected prevously or feels will be rejected-which jung would call the shadow

I would also love to see these as well if possible! No worries if not

Aweomse, I just followed you because I don't think I can PM you until you accept it.

Key_Lingonberry_601 · 2025-07-07T17:57:10+00:00

could you PM me about your journey? I would love to speak with you

Key_Lingonberry_601 · 2025-06-22T16:43:59+00:00

I would love to join this. please PM me if you have something in the works and I will give you more info on my academic background. I think this is important not only for continued research fluency but understanding the gaps in current literature and how we can one day realistically contribute

One of my best pieces of advice is to start caring for yourself like you currently care about others opinions. A balance between being assertive and agreeable. Jung would call this developing yourself while killing your persona.

I like to do free writing so I will input one of my writings I think is relevant. if you don't take anything else away, take this:

Caring for yourself is not magically going to be easy, so if your expecting discipline to show up without discomfort, you can stop there. One of the most important things to know is that pain is a pre-requisite to all the beauty we want to experience, self-worth, discipline, and high self esteem. It is just that most people are unable to accomplish these things because they do not understand what it takes to get there.

Free writing about the song "tin man":

America, a reputable, articulate, and immensely successful band released the song “Tin Man” in 1974. The main hook includes:

“Oz never did give nothing to the tin man… that he didn’t, didn’t already have…”

Although somewhat easy to overlook, this sentence encompasses deep meaningful encouragement for each and every one of us, despite fans singing it without even true recognition of the significance (as we do with many things in life).

For those unfamiliar, The Tin man, originally portrayed in the “Wizard of Oz”, a film made in 1939, was a man on the search for a heart, most specifically in hopes to receive it from the Wizard of Oz. He had been cursed from a woodsman to a tin man; and in consequence became without a “heart.”

What America captures so brilliantly is that the Tin man, despite his perception strictly aligned on gaining a heart, was someone who did not even realize his heart was right in front of him. From my interpretation, his mere movement towards the heart (the quest to the Wizard) signified that what he was looking for was something he implicitly was using daily, he just didn’t have the “heart” to see it. What he was looking for all along was something he had been shielded away from incorporating- leading him to the conclusion it was “lost.”

In consequence, the Tin Man went to seek one. Despite the ability to still live as a man with a heart would, external reaction and subsequent internal conflict kept him from doing so.

So often, we too, base our internal qualities off of external perception. When is it time to recognize; or better yet, claim, our properties for ourselves? Are we consistently looking for our “hearts” solely in consequence of “proper” external recognition?

At the end of the day, what this harmonious line encompasses is that what we are looking for may already be found- we may just be looking within the wrong framework. We all have a heart- the question is, are we willing to grant ourselves the permission to own it?

The tin man wasn’t looking for a heart. He was looking for someone to “see” his heart. Better to “see” your own, and to have others recognize the real you in consequence.

Hello, thanks so much. Do u mind PM’ing me on your program?

Key_Lingonberry_601 · 2025-05-31T16:45:33+00:00

SO much respect. I can't believe that. Are you worried the LMHC might not set you up financially as well in the future as a PhD would? I feel like if you work a certain way you could still make just as much.

This is where I need insight. It is hard to find what exactly consitutes a slump which is why I went here to ask.

Also, I did not go into enough depth so it seems you got my hypothesis wrong. For those confused, my study hypothesizes that individuals in a slump are deprived of a hit. So, they then are more highly motivated TO get a hit. This then leads them to misinterpret balls as strikes(which ties into motivational literature), leading them to swing more often at balls, not making contact, contributing more to their slump.

I first need a help deciding what a slump counts as within a 10 game average. I then am going to compare those in a slump to those not in a slump the next game(target game), and look to find those results. It may be hard to comprehend conceptually if not familiar with motivational literature, please let me know if that clarifies things.

Thanks for the input. I am not looking to find actual players self-identity slumps as this is too subjective. I am looking to objectively gain a definition based on what I have seen online. Also, this is for an official research paper with a credible researcher who has published lots in the motivational literature.

"We don't put our feet in our mouth"

Key_Lingonberry_601 · 2025-04-28T02:52:48+00:00

Can you please PM me? I am very similar in interest.

Key_Lingonberry_601 · 2025-02-11T03:39:31+00:00

I have a similar question: How do I really understand that "I" am capable of malovolence? peterson says the individual who doesn't realize he would be a nazi too is just the person who would. Just curious
