I must say that although this school does have it's enormous upsides with being a therapist/psychologist; it lacks in communication directly to the students. During the application process I was rarely contacted by an advisor/counselor to set up a potential interview and move on with the admission process. The first interview that was scheduled was ultimately cancelled on their end for unknown reasons, then the second interview was given on one date, and moved to a later one.

I can honestly say I am very happy with my experience at MSP and I plan to go back for the PsyD in the near future. If your desire is to be a therapist, look no further as MSP is the school you'll...
