The Chicago School at Chicago Admissions

This graduate school is highly selective with an acceptance rate of just 6.98%. This means fewer than 7 out of 100 applicants gain admission, making it one of the most competitive psychology programs in the country. The tiny enrollment of 31 students reflects the school's boutique approach to graduate education. With 80.65% women and strong representation from Hispanic (48.39%) and Black (22.58%) students, the program actively seeks diversity in its cohorts. The school looks for candidates committed to psychology and behavioral health careers, particularly those interested in clinical practice or specialized therapeutic interventions. Given the 8:1 student-faculty ratio, applicants should demonstrate readiness for intensive, personalized graduate study.
