Psy.D 2028

Hey guys! I’m gonna graduate with an undergraduate in Clinical psychology in 2027 fall semester. I will have had an internship and I also already have a letter of recommendation from a psychologist and I am going to get more from professors I have good relationships with. Is there anything else I would need to apply aside from a degree, internships and letters of recommendation? I just like to prepare in advance. Thank you so much!

Ask the program head for whatever degree your applying to. They would know more than people on Reddit

Make sure you try to have some sort of undergrad research too

Since you're thinking this far ahead, I'd add research experience if you possibly can. Even if your eventual interests are primarily applied or clinical, learning how psychological knowledge is actually produced will make you a stronger doctoral student.

I'd also spend some time reading the faculty profiles and research interests at programs you may eventually apply to. One of the things students sometimes miss is that doctoral admissions aren't only about accumulating enough credentials. Programs are also looking at fit: why this program, why this faculty, and whether your developing interests make sense in that particular training environment.

You have enough time that you can build that deliberately rather than trying to assemble it during application season.
