In this guest series, we interview these mystical humans who have made it into psychology masters programs around Australia and dissect exactly what grades and experience they got to make it into these highly competitive programs. Prior to Masters, I did not know anyone in the psychology industry, and the prospect of getting into these programs seemed so unachievable, so if you are anything like myself - this series will be a godsend. In this exciting episode, we will be interviewing somewhat of a special guest, our co-host Josh. Josh is currently in the final stages of the Master of Clinical Psychology program and we'll explore his journey, experiences, and insights that have helped him be selected for this highly in-demand course. Find us Email: mentalstatuspodcast@gmail.com Instagram: @MentalStatusPodast Yash's TikTok: @Aussiepsychstudent CreditsPodcast Hosts: Yash & JoshPodcast Producer: Josh KellyMusic acquired from https://pixabay.com/music/beats-jazzy-hip-hop-boom-bap-111861/ DISCLAIMER: The content discussed on this podcast is separate from our professional and academic roles.
