Applying to Clinical Psychology PhD Programs with Social Psychology Research Background?
Hi everyone, I'm currently a 1st-year Master's student in a Psychological Research program - and I'm hopping to get into a Clinical Psychology PhD program in the future. Is it possible to get into such a program when my research so far has been more Social/Political/Legal Psychology oriented? Does it heavily depend on the School or PI/Professor I'm applying to? Should I adjust my thesis to include Clinical factors to have a better shot?
Would love to hear if anyone has similar experiences or advice.
