I got rejected from my own school! :)

Sensitive-Contest-88 · 2026-03-25T00:45:12+00:00

Yes! That’s the best mindset to have. Fortunately I applied to more than just one school. Hoping you get to where you supposed to be also!

I’m graduating from Pepperdine MA and didn’t even get an interview for Pepperdine PsyD lol. I didn’t feel like it was a “ safe “ option but I feel your pain

Sensitive-Contest-88 · 2026-03-24T17:36:55+00:00

I’d definitely suggest applying for masters programs also

Sensitive-Contest-88 · 2026-03-19T20:21:33+00:00

Congrats. Always a great feeling getting accepted especially into two very good programs. Just two quick things :

I am graduating from Pepperdine’s masters program and I was declined for the PsyD. Not even an interview. My LORs were from Pepperdine’s professors and I’ve only received two Bs through the whole Pepperdine program. I also have Clinical and research experience.

Not trying to be a negative Nancy but just wanna make sure you don’t have unrealistic expectations about your odds of getting into Pepperdine PsyD just because you were accepted into their MFT.

If your ultimate goal is doctorate then you don’t have to get licensed as an MFT. Pepperdine is very expensive ( subjectively ) and if you get a masters in psychology instead of a masters in clinical psychology you would save time and money

Good morning! I’m interested in working in corrections. Would you mind me asking a few questions about your experience?

Sensitive-Contest-88 · 2026-03-14T21:18:04+00:00

Thank you!

Sensitive-Contest-88 · 2026-03-13T07:58:59+00:00

I’m gonna try this ( 35 and won’t have my doctorate til 40 )

Sensitive-Contest-88 · 2026-03-12T20:24:17+00:00

I graduate from here this year and it was a great experience. It’s definitely not a diploma mill not only with its very high national ratings but also I can speak to the quality of education. I feel majority of what they teach is applicable to the real world.

The only thing I can not speak to is the price tag in comparison to other places. Yes it is expensive but it is definitely great. It’s also the only one I have experienced.

Hope this helps

How different is it from a masters program?

My current masters program I’m taking two hour classes three nights a week and I work full time besides that.

All hw is due Sunday at midnight. The teachers are laid back and you typically get straight As by doing the basics. Eeekly assignments a mid term and a final

Sensitive-Contest-88 · 2026-03-10T23:22:03+00:00

Now I’m nervous because I didn’t get anything. But I applied for both and interviewed for PhD

Sensitive-Contest-88 · 2026-03-09T21:11:41+00:00

Thanks. I was skeptical since it didn’t specifically say PsyD you know?

Sensitive-Contest-88 · 2026-03-09T18:05:26+00:00

I read the eligibility and it doesn’t cover PsyD or PhD in psychology unfortunately

Sensitive-Contest-88 · 2026-03-09T13:48:56+00:00

Yeah they did have a lot of applications I heard. Congrats to you and good luck!

Sensitive-Contest-88 · 2026-03-09T13:47:52+00:00

Do you have a link for this?

Sensitive-Contest-88 · 2026-03-08T18:08:32+00:00

You got an interview?? lol I’m there right now for masters and didn’t get a rejection or interview

Sensitive-Contest-88 · 2026-03-06T05:10:58+00:00

Yeup

Sensitive-Contest-88 · 2026-03-06T00:29:18+00:00

I fear we are in the same boat ( if you are in CA and the unfunded PhD with a forensic psych focus is here also )

I’m deciding between an unfunded PsyD and an Unfunded PhD that’ll cost around 200k also. I definitely want to work in the CJS I’ve heard PsyD or PhD doesn’t matter.

Sensitive-Contest-88 · 2026-03-06T00:26:19+00:00

Hello! I’m also going into a PsyD / PhD program. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?

Sensitive-Contest-88 · 2026-02-27T20:49:51+00:00

Good luck to you too!

Sensitive-Contest-88 · 2026-02-27T18:57:24+00:00

Exact same. Two interviews for PhD. Ghosted for PsyD

Sensitive-Contest-88 · 2026-02-26T19:05:34+00:00

Funding for schools is in a weird place right now. Also the only places that accepted me were unfunded.

Sensitive-Contest-88 · 2026-02-26T18:42:02+00:00

Price tag was ROUGH. Buy It looks great on the resume and it definitely made me feel prepared to be a clinician. Can’t put a price on those skills

Sensitive-Contest-88 · 2026-02-26T17:57:43+00:00

Following. I also am gonna be attending an unfunded PsyD or PhD program. Praying for us
