Graduate programs' correlates with doctoral recipients' scores on the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP) were determined Higher EPPP score was associated with larger faculty-to-student ratios, smaller clinical programs traditional as opposed to professional program orientation, and Ph D rather than Psy D awarded Programs approved by the American Psychological Association and those that scored favorably on a number of objective indices also produced graduates with high EPPP scores Among the more frequently used admissions requirements median Quantitative score on the Graduate Record Examination correlated most highly with EPPP score

This article provides advisers of psychology majors with updated information on criteria used by graduate selection committees. Information from the 569 U.S. graduate programs listed in Graduate Study in Psychology (American Psychological Association, 1993) was summarized. Undergraduate course preferences, the importance of nonobjective criteria (e.g., research and work experience), and the mean Graduate Record Examination scores and grade point averages of admitted students are presented for programs offering different types of training and degrees. For each of these criteria, program types showed differences.

The Yu et al. (1997) study on correlates of mean score on the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP) contained some clerical errors that are corrected here. The findings and associated inferences are basically the same after making these corrections as they were before. Academically stronger clinical psychology programs have graduates who tend to score higher on the EPPP. An additional analysis using only professional schools revealed that programs approved by the American Psychological Association and those that are not freestanding tend to produce graduates with higher scores.
