<p>Well, again, you have to ask whether that’s important. For some people, that’s not important. Like, for example, if the Turkish guy I know was doing clinical psych (which he is not), then I doubt he would care. Like I said, his plan is to go back to Turkey to teach and maybe later eventually become a politician. He wouldn’t care about getting a clinical position either in the US, and probably not in Turkey either. Besides, I think the system of licensing and accreditation in Turkey is substantially different from the system in the US. </p>
<p>I would hardly see how his going to Harvard would be ‘detrimental’ to his planned career. In fact, by any reasonable calculation, Harvard is the best choice for him considering what his plans are. Like I said, different people have different goals. Not everybody is really gung-ho about trying to pursue the ‘absolute best’ education within their particular discipline. Plenty of people just want to find a program that is academically ‘good enough’ and that also allows them to fulfill other goals in their lives.</p>
