<p>Obviously I want to goto a school that requires a thesis, and a school that will allow me to do extensive research. My goal is a clinical phd. </p>
<p>I have been looking at psych masters at schools that also have PhD programs so I will be exposed to good research opportunities. At this point I really need to get a masters first because my undergrad credentials aren't strong enough to get me into a top competitive program. </p>
<p>Someone also told me that masters in education and counseling and similar fields make for strong PhD candidates for psychology.</p>
<p>Anyone have any help to offer? or any schools to suggest, I have a running list of 30 or so that I am swimming through.</p>
