<p>I am thinking about doing a psych major/being premed. Is the psych program good? What type of research/internships are available? Thanks</p>

2

<p>the psych department is amazing</p>

3

<p>That’s good. Can you give me more detail?</p>

4

<p>The top psych dept in the country, especially for undergrad.</p>

<p>u.s. news ranks only graduate programs, but has stanford, berkeley, and michigan as the top three. no yale, sorry.</p>

<p>the faculty is amazing.
f.scottie- that usnews ranking is for general psych departments. stanford doesnt even offer a clinical psych phd which is by far the most difficult area (and most popular) to get into- yale takes between 3-5 applicants out of over 700, and is definitely one of the top clinical programs in the country.</p>

7

<p>exactly. and the clinpsych program plus med school-related psych programs , including the best neuropsychiatry program, spill over in a major way into the undergrad classes/research opportunities, yet one more factor making yale by far the best undergrad psych program in the united states.</p>

<p>make him stop,…ulcers.</p>
