I get the feeling like an alien bit. I'm a 2nd year PhD (Clin Psych) student with a cohort of 12. I'm not there to make friends either and am written off by the others as not being sociable. Hopefully working with gifted kids and their families in private practice once I finish the doctorate will stop work issues in the past that have been mentioned here (working too quickly for others, doing things the 'wrong' way etc etc).
