Keep me posted on what you find out and what you decide! I think the hardest part I've found about wanting to become a therapist is that there are so many different avenues for getting there (social work, psychiatry, clinical psych PhD, counseling psych, school psych, clinical psych PsyD, masters programs...), it's difficult to know which is the right one. But one good thing is that I think there is less of a bias or hierarchy than there used to be. Like I'm not sure people would say that psychiatrists are always the best people to go to for therapy, the way they might have years ago.
No matter what, you can't go wrong with any program at UNC! Good luck with the clinical psych thing...and when we both start our programs someday, we'll have to start our own therapist-in-trainig thread! :)
