Folks, What is your experience advising students who do a psychology undergraduate major then go off to, say, law school or medical school or business school (that is, a non-psych professional school) or to a graduate program in a field that is not psych/social sciences (I think of one person I know who went to a geology graduate program, for instance)? I think I can advise students fairly well about the things they should be doing as undergraduates if they want to go to graduate school in psychology. But I'm not at all confident about by own ability to advise psych students who have other ambitions. Are there differences in what these students should be doing? What might such differences be? What do you tell your students? So what do other TIPS subscribers think? For example, how important are research experience, internships/field experience, relevant work experience, etc.? One assumes that solid grades and good admissions test scores are important, of course. Curious to hear what people have to say.
