new (nov 8, 2020): update to reference requirements: in past application cycles, we have required 3 academic and 2 clinical (professional) references. to simplify our reference requirements, we will now only require 3 references.
the reference letters (3) should be from faculty or academic/professional supervisors with whom you have a history, such as someone you worked for as a student researcher, or who you have met with several times throughout a semester and therefore is familiar with your work. the goal is to ask someone who knows you well, and someone who can comment on the areas assessed (e.g., academic preparedness, oral and written communication skills, initiative, judgement, research skill, and overall academic ability). the referee will also be asked to comment on your professional suitability for clinical training (e.g., ability to function well under stress, sensitivity to others, awareness of interpersonal impact, receptiveness to constructive feedback, professionalism).
we strongly recommend that one of the references be from your thesis supervisor. references should not be from a family member or friend.
applicants can choose to provide a fourth reference, focused only on professional suitability for clinical training, should they so desire. this fourth (clinical) reference is entirely optional.additional application information: documents required from current 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 ma clinical psychology 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
