What Are Some Red/yellow Flags For Interviewing Graduate Psychology Programs?

What are some red/yellow flags for interviewing graduate psychology programs?

great question! if others have additions, please add on! state your discipline/degree/country if possible, since there can be such variations across program types.

Yellow Flags:

the grad students don’t seem happy to see you and/or are otherwise unwelcoming

the grad students don’t seem to like each other/there’s an air of competition vs. collegiality among students

the faculty don’t seem to like each other/there’s an air of competition vs. collegiality among faculty

when you ask fairly normal questions- like about outcomes of graduates in the program, match rates, attrition, funding, etc -the faculty get cagey or defensive

you don’t receive an offer to be hosted by a grad student during your visit

the resources, ongoing research projects, clinical opportunities, etc. are different than what is listed in the brochure/website

the program doesn’t offer any in-house clinical training 

the faculty is overly positive about you, in a selling-you-something, trying-to-get-you-to-ignore-problems kind of way

Red Flags:

the grad students warn you about the program or a professor

multiple current graduate students haven’t achieved reasonable goals that they set 

the professors in some way show blatant disregard for the applicants or the grad students- like, they ask applicants to complete a ridiculous or very difficult task as a part of the interview (I had a friend who was asked to calculate a beta weight by hand on a white board during a group interview) (grad students doing something similar is a yellow flag)

the professors pit applicants against each other or otherwise encourage competitiveness and negativity between applicants

the professors appear to view students as work horses and not trainees

there is some kind of funky outcome (high attrition, low match rates) and the faculty can’t adequately explain it

the program doesn’t offer any in-house clinical training AND they expect students to find their own practicum placements

students only do online surveys and/or undergrad sample research

7 Tips for Taking Care of your Mental Health

1. Take care of your physical health as this affects your mental health.

2. Take time-out and give yourself some space. You need to get away from the busyness.

3. Invest time in hobbies and doing things you love. These help you to switch off and get in touch with yourself.

4. Develop an attitude of gratitude as that can help remind you of some good things in your life.

5. If you can, do your best to stay in top of the mess as a tidy room can help you feel less stressed.

6. Have at least one friend you can turn to when you’re down, as we all need someone who we know is there for us,

7. Avoid toxic people who leave you feeling bad. You have a right to establish healthy boundaries.

arts and humanities subjects as study aesthetics:

archeology: curiosity, study snacks, staying after class to ask questions, lots of coffee, studying to learn rather than for a grade.

architecture: sunlight filtering in through circular windows, bookshelves, large domed ceilings, the sound of pencils scratching on paper.

art: converses, paintbrushes tucked behind ears, laughing in class, studying with friends, doodles in the margins of textbooks, studying simply because you enjoy the subject.

dance: minimalist study spaces, exercising to improve cognitive function, healthy competition with peers, the feeling of joy when your hard work pays off.

history: late night studying, mindmaps, being friends with all of the teachers, the most gorgeous study space you’ll ever see, herbal tea, piles and piles of notes.

languages: learning by immersing yourself in your subject, pieces of paper flying everywhere, determination, muttering the thing you’re trying to memorise under your breath.

literature: libraries, elegant (although a little messy) cursive handwriting, stacks of books, studying in front of a fire, round glasses, scribbling notes faster than your hand can write.

music: creativity, studying at the strangest times, naps, smiling at people from across the classroom, random inspiration for projects, liking your subject because it makes you happy.

philosophy: studying in a cafe, preferring to learn concepts instead of memorising facts, warm jumpers, quiet but intelligent, loving your subject because it makes you think.

theatre studies: the most colourful notes you’ll ever see, getting friends to quiz you to help your memory, loud debates, disorganised but still doing really well in school, grinning when you get a good mark.

theology and religion: congratulating people when they do well on something they’ve worked hard for, calligraphy, bullet journaling, helping others with their work, lofi music, absent minded daydreams between classes.
