    		Admission Procedures
    The faculty and graduate students in the various fields of concentration offered in our department are organized into interest groups. Admission recommendations are made by interest groups. The faculty or a faculty committee from a particular interest group review the credentials of all applicants indicating a primary interest in that field of concentration. If the faculty committee thinks that its program cannot offer the training that a particular applicant seeks, admission may be denied even though the applicant's other credentials might be very strong. Occasionally, an applicant's file will be reviewed by more than one interest group. This usually occurs when an applicant has indicated interest in one area on the application but expresses different interests in the personal statement that is required with the application.

    Interviews. In general, we do not use personal interviews as part of the selection process. However, individuals applying to the clinical psychology program may be invited to interview at some point in the review process. If, as a prospective applicant, you wish to make an appointment with a member of our faculty, please contact that person directly.
