I´m a second year who’s planning on applying to clinical psych PhD programs after undergrad. I recently got into my school’s McNair Scholars program, which is supposed to help you get into PhD programs, but under the program, I wouldn’t start doing faculty-mentored research until spring of my junior year. I would get to present my research at a conference, but I don’t know if two semesters of research (3 if you include summer) would be enough. I’ve read that grad schools like at least two years of research experience. Should I try to start getting research experience right now or wait it out? Thank you for any advice you can give me!
