Submit five letters of recommendation on forms supplied by the school. Recommendation forms are supplied by Rosemead and are contained in the Application Packet (PDF). Three of these are academic references and two are character references (pastor and personal friend). Academic references should be submitted by someone who can speak to your work in the field of psychology (psychology professor, internship supervisor, etc.).
Forward official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended. Transcripts must be official and mailed directly from your college or university in a sealed envelope to the Office of Graduate Admissions.
Submit general GRE scores. On the old scoring scale, the average GRE score is around 1150 for Psy.D. students and 1250 for Ph.D. students. New competitive scores based on the score scale for the revised GRE will be coming soon.
*Note: There are additional requirements for international students.
Your application will be carefully studied. If considered to be potentially acceptable, your application will be put in a group to be interviewed and ranked by the end of March. At that time we will offer a limited number of acceptances to the highest-ranking applicants. A limited number of applicants will be placed on a wait list for each program. When there are no further chances of acceptance, all applicants will be notified.
Since enrollment is limited and admission is on a selective basis, applications should be made as early as possible. All application materials must be received in the Office of Graduate Admission by January 15th. Decisions are made only on completed applications. Rosemead currently admits new students for the degree programs only in the fall semester each year. Applications received after the January 15 deadline will rarely be considered for the following fall semester.
