2020 Clinical Psychology Canadian Applicants
Neurophilic replied to Leafway's topic in Psychology Forum
I wouldn't add this to your CV. Most schools do ask whether you have applied for funding and you can also let your POI know. You can add CGS-M to your CV if you received the award or if you received and declined. -

I think it's a great first step. Definitely prepare as if it's a prelim interview. I skyped with my POI last year in October and now I'm working with her. She later invited me to visit her in person. Best of luck! -

Would you be notified by e-mail if your CGS-M app changed from alternate to offered? -

Just got accepted off the waitlist for my dream school ?. Alternate for CGS-M but hopefully good news will come soon for that. -
Reflections & Advice for Future Applicants
Neurophilic replied to FeministPsychologist's topic in Psychology Forum
I don't think @ventiamericano's POIs treated her in any way that was unfavourable, assuming that is what you mean. They were still willing to encourage and support throughout the application process. There are many factors that go into the decision process and although having connections seems pivotal, it's not a contract for future opportunities with the POI. I'm from Canada as well and I can't say it is largely how the process works here. It seems to be more transparent on what specific universities/programs are looking for and sometimes the decision is made by ad comm as opposed to the POI. It's hard to say what happened here, but I wouldn't assume programs allow for nepotism when it comes to admission. -

I asked my POI lmao. We’ve been pretty transparent with each other. Because admission is ad comm dependent at this school she was open to tell me I’m next in line. -

Notified that i've been waitlisted at McGill.. next in line apparently. 8 offers have been sent out and 3 have yet to respond. So frustrating. -
How did you find your area/topic of interest in research?
Neurophilic replied to neurologic's topic in Psychology Forum
My interests evolved from what I was exposed to. During my undergraduate degree, I really had no idea how to narrow it down. I started working in emergency med doing some cognitive research in two labs (more epi than psych), then I went into corrections in the government (addiction research, radicalized offenders), then I went into oncology and memory/sleep and finally cardiology. It was a whirlwind experience but it helped me understand what research is and what I enjoy versus what I don't. My area of interest became quite obvious after dipping my toes in each lab. -

I haven’t heard anything officially. My POI did say no news means she is still considering my application and offers should be made next month. -

Hmm... that is strange. This happened to me as well (accepted 3 days after interview), and I received my official letter 2 days after. It cant hurt to inquire, but it may be school dependent. -

Ugh me too. My POI said she recommended me for admission but I’d only know officially within a couple of weeks. Well... it’s been a couple of weeks so I’m ready ? -
