I Got In!

On March 4th I had an all day interview at Pacific University’s School of Professional Psychology for their PsyD in clinical psychology program. The interview went great. I enjoyed all of the faculty, the current students and fellow applicants. It was a much better interview process than I had experienced with CIIS. There was a definite cohesion among faculty staff, as well as a real sense of pride among the current students about their place in the program. My excitement about the program was significantly amplified after that day, not the lease of which was interviewing with the professor with whom I want to study under.

On March 9th I was thrilled to receive email notification that I was a first pick for admissions. I should be getting my official letter of admittance within the next day or so, but I did also get an email notification that I have also been picked to receive a three year renewable service scholarship for my commitment to diversity. I am still hoping to get awarded with an assistantship. Classes start on August 29th, with orientation the week prior. I am excited to get started and meet my new colleagues on this journey.
