4. Two letters of recommendation, preferably from individuals familiar with the applicant’s academic abilities.

An applicant should have some academic preparation in psychology; a prospective applicant without such preparation is encouraged to consult with program faculty about the adequacy of his or her preparation and about what additional preparation might be suitable.
