    Amazing vlog. You really showed me that "life isn't over" when you have children.And that you can do a PhD even when you have kids!

    This is great content. I commend you on being a full time mom (of not one, but TWO children). Fingers crossed, I will be starting my PsyD this Fall and I am super nervous about going out of state and work load. How aggressive have the school work been so far? My admissions counselor said he does not recommend working but possibly doing work study on campus.

    • @AstriMcNeish
      @AstriMcNeish  4 года назад +1

      Thank you so much, that means a lot! Congratulations to you! The course work is aggressive yes, and a bit of a shock the first semester, but I think the readjustment period and nerves are a bigger energy suck than the actual course work! Best of luck!

    Hi! I'm a father to a 1.5 year old and in the process of applying to PsyD programs. This is inspirational! ...How many hours/when do you study?

  • @bensupermario
    @bensupermario 4 года назад +6

    Something I'm interested to know is how much reading and out of school/out of practicum assignments there are. Of course, hours will probably be different depending on the person and the school, but I'm just a tad worried I'll have little to no free time. I'm a freshman in college highly considering a PsyD, and your videos can be quite helpful.
