I've applied and interviewed at a school for my Psy.D. (Clinical Psychology). The program accepts up to 27 people per year and interviewed roughly 75-80. I was just informed that I am on the alternate list - the list has a total of 10 people on it, but they do not rank those people. I'm wondering what my realistic odds are for acceptance. I know it depends on financial aid, rejections, etc. My question is how OFTEN does someone reject a grad school. Do I have a 50/50 chance, or more like a 10% chance? Anyone know?
Also - is it common to find out BEFORE the April 15th deadline, or do schools wait until the deadline passes to assess the situation?

Clinical programs are really competitive and most are unlikely to give up their spots, so realistically, I'd start looking for other options. 50-50 chance, probably not. 10% chance, maybe.
Generally, people make a monetary commitment when they are accepted to a program, to demonstrate that they will be attending. If people don't make commitments by that date, then they will likely move to the alternate list and displace the person initially accepted.

Yep, eri is nice right here. maximum faculties dont supply merely the masters in Psychology, you could desire to bypass into the PhD software. There are colleges that supply whats suggested as a terminal masters degree in psychology (frequently the smaller universities), yet different then that- they dont settle for masters in basic terms scholars (you get a masters en path to the phd, which takes 2-3 years as eri suggested formerly going into the phd coursework).

I would ask the school's counselor.
