Oh my goodness congratulations mae! So happy to hear ☺️☺️

Scholarship name?

@@chahatkataria2825 it was just a merit based one from the school. I actually declined it and took one for 178,000$ at a different school. That too, was just the schools offer based on my gpa. I had a 4.33 weighted gpa in my senior year of highschool.

Oh my gods, congratulations!!! 🥺🥳✨

​@@mae9911 did you do any extra curriculars?

Amazing you’ve got it! (Also BTS fighting haha). 😊😊

Army!!!

I'm a high school student and want to pursue psychology too and I'm an army too. I think we're kind of similar 😕

@YESJIMIN thank you! And same to you

@@thepsychdiaries thankyou 😊

thanks brandon and so cool seeing some international viewers here! :)

Heyy~ Could you answer my question? How much can I earn after doing masters in psychology or clinical psychology in U.S?

So glad!! 😊

i'm 13 too! tho im anxious about my future

thanks eleena! ^^

Ooh great suggestion! I'll definitely put that on the list of videos! :)

let me guess you watched 3 episodes of csi?

Hi Joel! There are so many career pathways within the field of psychology and if you're passionate I'm totally behind it! Having lived experience can also be such a superpower as a clinician. All the best on your journey 😊

woot woot best of luck ^^

^^ thank you for joining me Kyra!

Ooh interesting, to be honest I'm a little nervous to put specific videos up like that as I am relatively early in my career and there are much more experienced trainers who have CBT videos online but maybe sometime down the line!

How’s it going?

Congratulations!! 😊☺😃😌👏

Haha yea same a phd was a bit too much for me too

Hey from which college are you doing undergrad in forensic psychology and criminal justice

hey kiara! from which university are you thinking are you thinking of doing your undergrad in fornsics?

Yep we have heaps of international students too! ^^

We're the same... still discovering whether I really I wanna be a psychologist and in high school rn... waiting for the results... hello from Fiji

Woohoo, thanks for joining me! :)

Oh good idea! Tbh I'm not sure since I never got to choose minors but it might give you a more well rounded sense of what's out there :)

Hey Sarah! :) I'm so glad you're here! I enjoyed it, though I did get a bit burnt out in 2nd year- I didn't work very much aside from some casual work that didn't go over 1/2 day/ week. Some friends did an entire day of research/ admin and they seemed to manage fine. In your first year I'd say 1 day/ week is quite manageable!

@@thepsychdiaries Thankyou so much for your reply! Do you mind describing what a standard week in masters is like? Is it 5 days a week, 8-5? Did anyone in your cohort work more hours than casually? During undergrad I worked full time and studied full time, and am planning to try and at least work part time in masters (I have to 100% support myself). I assume by early to mid 20's there would have been some other students in the same boat?

@@Sazzay96 so in first half of first year I think it was only 3 days full time but as soon as you get to second sem and beyond it’s 4 days full time. There were people who worked more and if you’re used to it and have great time management it could work- however the program really does get stressful so they do tell us to leave at least a day for self care!

Heyy, me too! Good luck with it! 😃

Hi Mina! Thank you so much 🥰🥰 you can do it!!

@@thepsychdiariesI will do my best 💜thank you

Keep letting me know if you have any questions along the way! :)

Ooh so cool, I personally dont know the study paths but pretty sure you can- psychologists can choose any area to develop or train in once they've graduated so if you wanted to become a clin psych and then do additional art therapy training that sounds great!

Definitely a common q and tbh heaps of your cohort will probs be in the same boat, very few people feel stats comes easy (and I totally relate). I'd recommend a stats tutor! In fact at my uni it was such a common problem we had a list of stats tutors because so many people needed a helping hand!

I loved UNSW's undergrad life for the clubs etc. As a postgrad student at USYD I was actually on a satellite campus with the psychology clinic so I really didnt get a chance to experience any student life!

Hi! It sounds like you're going through quite a big process of considering which path you should take. I wish I could give you a concrete answer however all I can offer is to ask yourself what is important to you, what are your values and if you take steps towards that you can't go wrong. Best of luck!

Hey aparnaa! Great questions and it would take a little more time to fully explain the pathways (I’ll do a video on them soon!) but briefly. 1) If MA = masters then yes! In Australia if you finish a masters of clinical psychology you will become a psychologist (not sure if it transfers from overseas though), 2) job prospects seem pretty good- in Sydney I’ve seen lots of jobs for registered psychologists! 3) in Australia yes you need 4 years as it’s 3 years of psychology study + honours research year. However you’d have to ask each individual University what credits will transfer across internationally. I’d recommend emailing/ calling the psychology facility and asking them directly. Good luck! I’d also recommend you tell them your specific situation because these are specific to NSW in Australia and it might be different in your country! :)

@@thepsychdiaries thank you so much, have a good day:)

hey aparna! R u from India? coz i m also from India and want to move to australia for psychology

Only thing you can do to increase your mental health is to increase your spiritual health. No degrees for this course. It’s intuitive. Enlightening. Real.

I actually think as long as you have a science background and are knowledgeable in the scientific method that's enough- all the content you will be taught during lectures. Advanced maths isn't important but there are stats!

@@thepsychdiaries Ahhh I see, I was just a bit concerned because I only take biology because I couldn’t pick up chemistry in time so I’m a bit concerned on whether I have what it takes to get in :(

Yes gosh the ATAR for some unis is really high! However, there are unis all around aus where you can study psych or go into it through psych science or b. science majoring in psych too!

i’m not sure if you still need it, but there should be a little box in the top right corner of the video, it’s is a box with “cc” inside of it. and when you press it, it should give you subtitles/captions !

Yes thank you!! ^^

Ooh tricky q- I would recommend asking the uni you want to enter about their entry requirements, unfortunately its a bit confusing with different regulations both around the world/ in different states

@@thepsychdiaries ohh tysm for replying. I will do that when the results come next month and once again thanks a lot for responding to me.

1. psychiatrist is a type of doctor so you would do a medical degree first, not a psychology degree 2. in australia a counsellor has separate training, usually its not quite as rigorous as becoming a psycholgist (but its a separate course and not a 4 year uni psychology degree!)

@@thepsychdiaries thanks you so helpful

They have diferent study pathways! Generally psychologists need to study a little bit longer and at a university, counsellors have a bit more flexibility and I think they can be trained even after a one year course :)

FLVS psychology if your school allows

Hey Saumya! So sorry I'm not quite sure about international pathways, however we had maybe 25% of our masters cohort from other countries so its definitelt possible :) (I went to USYD)

heloo , am doing same bsc psychology from india and i wish to go abroad too if u get any information please share

Hey Aisha- firstly I would highly recommend getting in contact with the admissions centre at the school you'd like to enter! However if my memory serves me right getting into psychology honours gives you the path to clinical masters- I do think a few people in my honours cohort did a B. Arts (major in psychology). Good luck :)

@@thepsychdiaries thanks so much I appreciate it💕💕

Yeah Shubham it has a lot of statistics and one more thing that I have to say is that your earnings as a psychologist is not gonna be too high or too low[Experience and a Phd may get you some] if its money you are targeting its not your course afterall its a 8 year long course you've to have passion. I'm a guy likes Psychology It really doesn't matter if you are a male you have a passion follow it.

Hi! 1) As far as I know know absoltely no difference due to gender! 2) definitely not, I super recommend it! We definitely need more male representation. 3) Yes it will have statistics, 4) It won't gurantee it however you will probably have an easier time finding jobs :) good luck!

strongly recommend seeing your psychology faculty advisor at your uni about this! it's unfortunately a bit different in every country/ state/ uni :)
