TKYU

Univ. of Regina student here! I was notified by the Department Head that I had won a "SSHRC Doctoral Award" via e-mail last Friday. I was expecting the results to be announced mid-May so the email came as a total surprise (a very pleasant one, I must say)! He didn't specify whether it's the Fellowship (20k) or the Bombardier Award (35k), though. Hoping it's the latter, but I am so grateful and honoured to have been a successful applicant regardless of which award I received! Good luck to those waiting for their results!

Definitely apply! From my own experience, I'd say you are no doubt a very competitive candidate! I got accepted into 2 clinical psych programs even though I had way less clinical and applied experiences than you. I did however have a handful of conferences and publications but nothing that impressive. As long as your grades (GPA & GRE's) are pretty good, I'm sure you would be able to score some interviews given your current stats. Best of luck!

My status was also "received by administrator" for UBC

Received an offer for the University of Regina - the school I will be attending in the fall!! Beyond ecstatic!! Good luck to everyone!

I second Magoosh! It was worth the $100 to upgrade my account to access all their instructional videos and practice questions. Also their free GRE vocab flashcards helped me tremendously on the verbal section!

I emailed my POI today with my decision to regretfully decline his offer. University: Lakehead University Program: Clinical psychology Good luck to anyone on the waitlist at Lakehead!

Thank you & all the best to you! If you're wondering who my POI is, feel free to PM me.

Lakehead update: POI extended an unofficial offer of acceptance over the phone! He also mentioned that other profs are still sending in their recommendations. So if you're still waiting to hear back from your POI, don't lose hope!

Hey! I received an email from my POI at Lakehead today requesting a time for a phone conversation. He didn't say anything about the purpose of the call in the initial email. In the follow-up email, he wrote that "actual telephone calls generally are for good news type things." I'm guessing he's calling to extend an unofficial offer of acceptance. You can DM me if you're curious who my POI is!

I emailed the coordinator for Lakehead and she informed me that successful applicants will be notified "within probably by the end of the month." They are still reviewing the applicants. I also found out that Lakehead doesn't have interviews. Not all hope is lost! Fingers crossed!

Congrats!!

Yep, of course! Thanks!

Received a formal rejection email from UBC but offered a Skype interview from my POI at the University of Regina! The rejection email literally came 5 minutes after my interview offer. It definitely cushioned the disappointment of a rejection haha! Good luck to everyone & hang in there!

I applied to Lakehead too! Still haven't heard anything from them. Good luck!

Will do! Thanks!

Still waiting to hear back from Western, UBC, Lakehead, UTSC, and Regina...

Such a useful thread! Thanks everyone for posting!

Ya something like that haha. Amanda Uliaszek, Erika Carlson and Marc Fournier. But I only only really want to work with Drs. Uliaszek or Carlson!

I applied to UTSC Clinical too! All the best to you!

We had about 13 people in our honours cohort during my year!

Me! Also checking gradcafe religiously...

Yes! It doesn't hurt to make sure everything is in order. I did that for one of the schools and the day after they immediate updated my transcript status from not received to received. Sometimes graduate offices make mistakes and it's better to make sure those mistakes don't cost you your entire application! Good luck!

I see we are on the same boat! Good luck!!

Just submitted my application a couple days ago. This is my first time applying for the CGS-M so I don't really know what I'm doing to be honest LOL

Oh I see, that makes sense. Thanks!
