Thanks I needed to hear that today!
-
I sent a thank you email after an in-person interview and my POI sent a very nice response. I genuinely really enjoyed my interview day and meeting everyone, so I wanted to thank my POI/their lab for everything. I mentioned a few specific things like enjoying learning about study X, meeting the lab, etc. to avoid sounding like I'd copied and pasted a generic thank you letter:

Just wondering, did you have any problems entering your SIN on your profile? There doesn't even seem to be an option for me to enter mine but I had no trouble signing in or starting my OGS application.
-
I think the deadline is Jan 31, but you have to start an application by the 24th.
-
I did!
-
Thanks! That's pretty much what I expected.

Has anyone heard from Queens yet? I think there was an interview posted in the results section a few weeks ago but I haven't seen anything since.

Preparing for Clinical PhD Interview
Clinpsyc01 replied to nervous_nellie's topic in Psychology Forum
For those of you who have stayed with grad students during interviews... how was it? I might have the opportunity to stay with a grad student for an upcoming interview. It would be great to save some money, but I'm afraid it'll be really weird because I've never stayed with a complete stranger before. -
Do you know if the interview invitations are coming directly from POIs, or is the department sending them out? And do you know if they plan on having all invites done by a certain date? I've interviewed with my POI and it honestly sounds like she doesn't plan on doing any in-person interviews for whatever reason. But I still feel the need to know everything lol
-
Same... I had the most vivid dream last night that I got an interview at western. Needless to say I was not happy when I woke up lol
-
Just wondering, did your POI send you the invite to Ryerson's visiting day or was it from the department? My POI is still interviewing people but I'm curious.
-
I haven't, but I met someone recently who has an interview with her. I don't know if it's a preliminary interview or an invite to the open house, but she has definitely contacted people. Sorry if that wasn't very helpful, I wish I had more information!
-
I think most will shortlist 3-4 applicants if they plan on taking one student. For preliminary interviews, it can be more... I think one of my POIs interviewed 11 in order to get a shortlist of 3 people. Dont give up hope yet

My other POI actually didn't contact me for an interview until this week, so it seems like they're running a bit behind.
-
I haven't gotten one, but I think that date might be wrong because one faculty member told me that she wasn't submitting her shortlist to the department until January 15th or 16th.
-
Is anyone familiar with Western's selection process? I'm curious as to how they come up with their shortlist, especially since applicants aren't obligated to submit a CV if I recall correctly. Also, do faculty members choose their own applicants to interview or is it done by a committee?

How important is the interview for clinical programs?
Clinpsyc01 replied to Clinpsyc01's topic in Psychology Forum
Thanks for the input, that's kind of what I was thinking! I was surprised when some other applicants told me they didn't think the interview was that important. -
I've heard that a lot of programs/POIs have ranked their applicants beforehand and that these rankings don't tend to change unless someone behaves terribly during the interview or whatever. Is this generally true? Obviously it varies between or even within programs, but I'm curious to know what people think. I was discussing it with some people recently and we couldn't come to a consensus.
-
Congrats to the person accepted to Dal!! Would you mind PMing me your POI?
-
Me too please
-
I applied to 6. I don't think there is a 'typical' number though- it all depends on how many schools are a good fit, finances, geographic limitations, etc. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
-
Awesome, thanks!
-
Has anyone heard from Calgary or know anyone who has? Their website says that students invited to the open house would be contacted in early January. In the past they seem to have sent the invites later than that, though. I haven't given up hope yet, but it would be great if anyone has any information!
-
Me too please

I believe Western's interview day is in early February, maybe the 5th or 6th? I think they're notifying the interviewees 1.5-2 weeks before that.
