Hi! I just finished my first year of my psychology bachelor’s and it’s pretty much solidified how much I really want to pursue a clinical psychology PhD. I was able to join a research lab as an RA and I’m TAing for a psyc course and still serving as an RA for that same semester too which I’m very excited about. I was talking to a friend who’s parents has a PhD in clinical psych and was told that I’m almost guaranteed going to have to get my master’s first and that honestly scared me a bit because I don’t want to spend unnecessary money when I know exactly what I want to do :/ Just wanted to hear other’s thoughts and experiences trying to go straight from undergrad to a PhD. Thanks!
