• "If you obtain your doctorate in Psychology, you go and get a 4,5,potentially 6-year degree. You do collect hours but we either have a PhD, which is more emphasized on research, and/or you get a PsyD which is more emphasized in terms of your curriculum on theory, on practice." (04:16)
• "Clinical Psychology means that I have the basic courses like research and stats. But I also have certain specialized courses for exposing me to different theoretical orientations like cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems, group therapy, child and adolescent therapy, and so forth." (06:04)
• "You definitely want to apply to programs that are going to set you up for the future based on your desires or your goals for the next 5 to 10 years, so clearly it requires you to plan." (06:25)
