can the person who posted the interview day at York tell me who their POI is? Much appreciated!

Do you mind if you sent me your POI?

Last year, my POI emailed me 5 days after our interview via email.

Can you please send me your Ryerson POI? It will be much appreciated!

Can you please send me your POI for Ryerson? I haven't heard anything from them yet.

Do you mind sharing your Ryerson POI with me please?

For the person that got accepted to York, congrats! If you don't mind, can you PM me your POI?? Thanks!

For both clinical and psychological sciences? I think I am going to go for it as well. I need to know so I can learn from my mistakes! Good luck!

Been a while since I've been on here! I have also been rejected from Queen's and presumed to be rejected from York (from the comments here that the open house is this week). Queen's rejection email was probably the same for all rejections but they said "The most common reason for not admitting a student is simply that no faculty member asked that the student be admitted which leads to automatic rejection. Common reasons for not asking for a student include the faculty member already having as many students as he or she is comfortable supervising or imminent sabbatical leaves." Pretty unbelievable to read this since all my three POIs were taking students. Must actually mean my application was not strong enough Will anyone be emailing their POIs for real reasons for rejections? I want to but I do not know if it is appropriate? UPDATE: Just checked my York U Myfile and it says 'Reviewed - unsuccessful'

Thanks Syedahum, good luck to you too! Looks like someone has already received acceptance from U of T Scarborough for Clinical via email. Congrats! If you do not mind sharing your POI, again I would appreciate it

Thank you for the very helpful information syedahum. I was wondering whether I should email my POIs for updates on my application. From the info you provided, I should just wait...

Congrats to the person who got accepted to Western! If you do not mind PMing me your POI, I would appreciate it. I just got an email from them acknowledging me for selecting Western as a host organization for CGSM. I got confirmation from them that the results will be uploaded April 1 on the Research Portal. Anyone else got the same email?

HAha, my feelings are still the same. I just did not know how to react to it since I have never received an email like that before, although it was nice. I will most likely not be doing anything about it.

I have been actually doing the same. I was checking like every 3 minutes before, but I really had to start controlling it. So I am going to do every hour or so as well. I feel like so far, from analyzing the results page, most rejections/offers are for Ph.D. applicants. I feel like we(masters applicants) should start worrying more in the next couple of months instead of now. I have been telling myself this to make myself feel better and hope it is true.

That's great. Really glad everything turned out well I also recieved an email! I was very surprised that it was such a long email. It encourages us to contact additional facutly or students at the school but I do not not know if it is necessary to do so?! What do you think?

No problem, and good luck!

If you can even go to York yourself, they would not mind that (this has happened to me before with GREs missing). No, I did not have to send in an official degree certificate. I believe as long as it explicitly says on your transcript that you have convocated/or when you have conferred, then it is not required.

Welcome! I also did not receive an invitation for the Open House, but like nuih, i received an email confirming that all my documents have been received. Are you applying for the Master's or Ph.D. program? And if you can share your POI for York and your friend's POI from Queen's, that would be helpful. Yes, you had to send in your official transcripts from the beginning. I do not know why the secretary would say that it was not necessary to send it in at the start! I would maybe call the grad admin office to clear things up, but send in your transcripts asap!

I thought I might share this for those anxiously waiting from York - I spoke to grad admin directly about any updates about applications...she basically said that they have not really started reviewing the applications yet (She seemed pretty surprised that I was asking because she said it's still too early!). Shocking since this school had one of the early deadlines. Apparently we will be receiving invites for interviews in February (from your POIs), but if we do not receive any invites, it does not mean that we are 'officially' rejected until we receive the letter via mail! She spoke more directly about the clinical and clinical-developmental program, so I am not sure this applies to other programs in psych at York. Hope this eases some anxiety

Yes, the process can be a little confusing. If you still need questions answered (fast), I suggest calling them. I have done this before and they were more than willing to help. I do not remember which number I used but here is a list of people you can call http://www.sgs.utoronto.ca/about/Pages/Staff-Directory.aspxand this is the number for general help in regards to grad awards 416-946-0808

Hey I haven't applied for it, but you may get your answer on this webpage: http://www.sgs.utoronto.ca/currentstudents/Pages/Ontario-Graduate-Scholarship.aspxI believe this is where you apply and find out your deadline for the program you are applying to. Hope this helps!

From the information that I received from my school, CGS-M will be announced April 1 and I am not 100% on OGS, but I believe it is announced in May.

Thanks C10H12N20! That is a reasonable explanation. I am planning to be prepared for the question just in case! Better to be over prepared than not. Thanks constant_wanderer! I really hope you are right and they do not ask me at all, but again, I will be prepared for it. I feel like some experience that we have can somewhat make up for it. I know the GRE or any other aptitude tests do not reflect you 100% or your abilities/skills. Thank you for the advice!

Thanks for the update!

Thanks C10H12N20! Other programs as in when you heard about your admission into the school, did they say anything about them sending acceptances for all programs? But I am assuming that it was only for you!
