Odds of Getting In
If you've spent more than a few hours with people, you may have gathered that we're developing more and more mental disorders—not less.

Also, much of the stigma about seeing a psychiatrist is no longer there, so more people than ever before are feeling open to the experience.
Which is good news for you.
Plus, there's a wide range of opportunities out there for you—everything from public health to private practice for aging Hollywood starlets who can't get over the fact that they're no longer hot.
