    Hi everyone, I'll be going to Guelph for my MA in Applied Social psychology starting this Fall. If anyone else is going to Guelph, feel free to message me

    I would definitely contact the school if you do get the funding. I was told by various schools that you should contact them should you receive funding as they may be able to find a fit for you in that case. I don't see any harm in trying! Good luck!

    Does this also include Health Psychology? Thanks!

    Honestly, not much, since I was able to get a lot of research experience during and after undergrad. What changed was the fact that the program did not require GREs (my application kept getting thrown out because I did not meet the minimum requirement for the GRE score (specifically, quant).

    Also I should mention it was NOT a psychology program. It was a Health & Rehab Sciences program (very similar research was being conducted).

    Just wanted to share something with everyone that I hope will help - when making a decision, it is not only research fit that matters but also how the POI is as a human being (personality/ethics/mindset) that will make or break you in grad school. I got accepted after 3 years of applying, and found out that my supervisor was super nice during the interview but quickly turned unsupportive, toxic, exploitative, and overall horrible when the semester started. I thought this was all in my head or that I'm too soft, but it turned out that 3-4 other students have filed a complaint against them in the past 2 years and they are currently under investigation due to their misconduct and unfair treatment of their grad students. I voluntarily withdrew and have to apply again to other places (as I didn't want to switch to another supervisor (there wasn't a good research fit with anyone)). As such, I highly recommend speaking with their current or past students if you can (I never got the chance to - should have been a red flag) and getting their opinions on how the POI is as a PERSON. So so important! It'll save you lots of time, money, and your self-confidence in the future.

    All correspondence is coming to my regular email (not the Guelph one).

    Definitely not! I applied for a different program (Applied Social psychology) and they're still sending out invitations for interviews so I wouldn't assume a rejection just yet!

    Anyone have any information/experience regarding Interview Day at Western? I've applied to the Social Psych program but I know the Interview Day is the same for everyone. Thank you!

    OMG first time in my life I've been looking forward to Mondays! Good luck everyone, hopefully we hear back from more schools this week! ?

    Just wanted to add to this - I recently checked my RAMSS portal and under "Communications" I had 2 messages that were not sent to my email address. It's good I ended up checking the portal itself. Thankfully they were just emails acknowledging receipt of the application and the second message acknowledging a complete application (all documents received). I would definitely recommend checking RAMSS just to be on the safe side!

    Hello everyone, I'm trying to decide between two schools, any help is super appreciated! Western: MSc in Health & Rehabilitation Sciences, a project I'm very excited about, a supervisor that's helpful and challenging at the same time, and tuition waiver. My parents are also considering buying a house there for investment purposes and it seems better to be to pay them the rent rather than someone else for an apartment. UBC: This has been my dream school. MSc in Rehabilitation Sciences, a project that's doing great and that i'm excited about, a supervisor that's helpful, and no funding information yet. The only downside to this is that it's so expensive to live in Vancouver and I'd be moving there with my partner which means starting from 0 again as I've heard jobs are hard to find in Vancouver (He's in the chemical field of work). Any input is greatly appreciated! Thank you.

    Hello everyone, I will be joining UBC to do my Masters in Rehabilitation Sciences starting Fall 2019. Any suggestions on where to look for a place to live as I'll be relocating with my partner? Thank you!
  17. Sabr_Shukr
    Thank you, this is really helpful!

    It's because I was 5 days late in finding a supervisor so I applied as a late applicant and the deadline is June 15 (but I received my informal acceptance now) and they won't send the official one out until July.

    Hi Everyone, I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I was formally accepted to a program: it's a great program, the PI is amazing, and the research project sounds great! However, this was my second choice. I also got an INFORMAL acceptance to my dream school, same program, awesome PI, and the research project is amazing. However, I have to submit a decision to my second choice school in a week and I won't get an official acceptance to my top choice until July. Any suggestions on how to navigate this? Thanks in advance

    Thank you so much! That's really helpful I guess I should focus more on gaining more research experience and just volunteering to get applied experience.

    I was rejected everywhere this time and so, I'm looking into applying again in December. I was just wondering, would it help improve my chances to complete a postgrad certificate program such as ABA/IBI (Applied behavioural analysis, behavioural science, etc)?
  22. Sabr_Shukr
    I'm sorry to hear that! I officially received rejections from everywhere as well. If anyone can provide any tips or advice on how to improve and what kinds of experiences to obtain in this time, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    I was rejected from UBC Vancouver a while back (I emailed them asking for a status regarding my application) and have not heard anything from U of Calgary. (Both Clinical psychology programs)

    I'm waiting to hear back from OISE as well. In the results section, people have written that they found out they were invited on ROSI. I've only been looking on the SGS website and haven't even heard about ROSI until now. Is there another website I am supposed to be referring to?
