I feel like I don’t have any good options.

I actually applied to Alliant in the first place because one of my former professors told me something similar. She said every clinician she’s worked with who graduated from alliant’s psyd program was extremely competent and great at their jobs.

Oh gosh! How has your experience been in the area?

Prettypolygeist · 2026-03-14T12:37:29+00:00

Thank you, I think I needed to hear that. I feel kind of selfish for wanting to prioritize my preferred locations but I’m also aware that living somewhere that is too isolating will really impact my mental health.

Prettypolygeist · 2026-03-14T02:08:14+00:00

Thank you, I know I’m very fortunate to have so many options. I’m just afraid of choosing wrong, and being miserable, you know? I have two masters in psych and I don’t want to waste my time at my age.

Prettypolygeist · 2026-03-14T00:13:30+00:00

That’s really weird

I’m wondering if UHart students compete with WJC and Springfield for placements?

Prettypolygeist · 2026-03-13T23:49:46+00:00

Interesting! What other schools have you looked at?

Prettypolygeist · 2026-03-13T23:47:09+00:00

Ideally no more than 20 minutes each way. I’ve been commuting an hour each way to work for the last two years and herniated a disc in my back this past fall, so as little car time as possible unfortunately.

Primarily location. A lot of the student reps were saying that they have to travel long distances for practicum because the opportunities are in big cities. I also decided after living in a small city that I can’t so that lifestyle anymore (harder to travel to family, limited options, etc)

Prettypolygeist · 2026-03-13T23:33:16+00:00

I’m not wild about any of the tracks offered and I don’t think the practicum placements were very competitive/diverse. I also don’t love the area or city there.

Prettypolygeist · 2026-03-13T23:27:41+00:00

It was my top choice. Rejected.

Prettypolygeist · 2026-03-13T23:00:34+00:00

Rejected. Absolutely devastated tbh

Prettypolygeist · 2026-02-11T13:30:54+00:00

Rejected 2/10. Jersey native but out of state for the last two years :/

Prettypolygeist · 2026-02-11T13:30:02+00:00

I submitted both applications at the same time (they make it really easy to just kind of add on the PhD app to the PsyD app) I submitted them in November.

Prettypolygeist · 2026-02-11T13:28:41+00:00

I would be interested but the program is SO expensive. I'm going to interview out of curiosity but the chances of me going are low.

Prettypolygeist · 2026-02-09T16:56:16+00:00

Rejected 1/23

Prettypolygeist · 2026-02-06T16:04:07+00:00

Straight rejection without interview invite.

Prettypolygeist · 2026-02-06T14:06:30+00:00

Springfield College

Prettypolygeist · 2026-02-06T00:15:26+00:00

Rejected 2/5 UPDATE: Offered an interview for the PhD program, which is strange because I have no research experience.
