BeezKnees Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I figured I would start this thread off for Canadian clinical psychology applicants for Fall 2017. There was a good thread going last year that I think helped a lot of people out. Might as well get it started before the applications are due! Good luck to everyone this year!

PhD_Wannabe01 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I'm applying to three Canadian schools, but I did not apply for any funding. Is that an insurmountable con in my application?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel this so much. I've been working 60+ hours per week for the past 2 months, so now I'm scrambling trying to get research proposals and my scholarship applications finished. Three more days until this nightmare is over! PurpleTurtles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It most certainly helps, but, of course, applying to funding does not mean you are guaranteed success either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeezKnees Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 Does anyone know how long it typically takes once the applications are in for the profs to start contacting people for interviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the university. I heard from one school later in December but most early in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
js.psych Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I heard from one prof that she makes a short list of people to interview in December, but I know other programs like OISE traditionally take a lot longer, more like February before you hear anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for Dalhousie, the clinical faculty are going to meet in the first week of classes after the holidays and decide who gets cut based on grades, GRE, references, etc. I believe that after the first cut is made, profs get to go through the list and decide who they want to interview/accept. So it probably varies by POI. I also know from an acquaintance's experience that they don't send rejections until April ish.

Jay's Brain Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Some programs want to get a head start so at least one school in the Greater Toronto Area starts having their faculty members contact potential applicants late December for an early January meeting. But don't fall into too much of when you receive contact from potential supervisors! It's a slippery slope when you hear others get it, and wonder when you will!

Cati Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Hey guys, I guess we are all waiting to see if we will get invited to interviews. What are your stats like, if you feel like sharing? Then we can see who gets invites, etc. Hopefully this helps someone either this year or in future years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generic_Applicant Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Any reviews on the Clinical and Counselling Psych program at OISE that you guys know of? Good program? Good prospects? I've applied to only 3 schools this year. Let's see how this goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teds2 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I have applied to 4 schools this year. Good luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FacelessMage Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 It kills me how long we have to wait to hear back from Canadian schools, especially when they had the same deadlines as some of the US schools that I've already gotten interview offers for.

Clinpsyc01 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 It looks like someone got an interview at UVic too. I didn't apply there or to Waterloo, but it's kind of terrifying that people are getting invites already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
