Yeah maybe they’re a little behind? Haha. My POI did say she’d review apps in December so maybe it’s a no for me. Who knows.

I applied to ryerson! No word yet ?

For those who applied to York, I’ve been informed that the open house is Feb 15 this year. Short-listed candidates are typically contacted by the end Jan and invited to attend.

You’re on a roll!! I wish the schools I applied to were this quick ?

I'd definitely apply the next round. In the meantime, I'm covering a mat leave as a Coordinator, so I'd try to get another position at the institution I'm currently at.

Congrats !!!

I thought for Ryerson you are automatically considered for OGS with the application documents you have already submitted (if admitted)? York is automatic in a sense, but you still have to submit a separate form. I wish all schools used your CGS-M as OGS lol.

All of the schools I applied to had a deadline of Dec 1 for OGS. So I had no choice but to apply before knowing if I'd be considered.

My POI from York just let me know she'll be reviewing apps within the next couple weeks. I know York is notorious for letting people know just days before the open house in Feb... Be aware that every POI is different, but just an FYI

Congrats! Would you be willing to share your POI?:)

Congrats!! Best of luck on the interview

I’m waiting to hear from McGill clinical! Do you know when they typically review apps?

Does anyone know how McGill works? My POI basically said "as long as you get through the admissions committee, I can take you in my lab". Do faculty not have a say in this process? I thought they did for some reason..

Congrats!! Good to hear an acceptance has rolled in.

I think I’ll contact those who I’ve already held a conversation with. I did so for one POI and it was an extremely positive response!!

Does anyone contact their POI after submitting your application to let them know? I have a feeling this question was already posted but I can't find it. Thanks

Thank you everyone I ended up turning down the psychometrist position. Mostly due to the fact that I may only be able to commit 7 months. I didn't find this fair for the employer (who is head of psych at a hospital I one day wish to work at), or other applicants. I believe my RC position is valuable as is. Although it is not in psychology or my area of interest, it presents a handful of opportunities for me.

Hi everyone I'm in a bit of a dilemma and would appreciate some friendly advice. I have applied to some clinical psychology and neuropsychology programs for Fall 2019, but am also trying to think long term in the event that I do not get accepted. Around 3-4 months ago I began a new part-time job as a clinical research coordinator. I thought this job would be perfect for experience, but the environment is really not what I expected and is not in psychology. Now, I've been offered a job as a psychometrist with a 40% pay increase. Ultimately, as someone who is trying to get into these very competitive clinical psychology programs, which job do you think would offer a better foundation (and maybe impression for the admissions committee ?)? Research coordinator or psychometrist? On another note, leaving a job after 4 months is not easy. Thanks! N

Yeah haha I know it’s not a contract, but was a pain nonetheless ?

Anyone else found the CGS-M application to be extremely difficult when you have no idea what your project will be? ?

I believe everything is on uozone. I submitted in person last year so I can't quite remember. I think I had done that for a reason however.. is it electronic or hard copy submission?

I'm glad to see the Canadian post! This really helped last year. Best of luck everyone

Thanks everyone. I guess I shouldn’t read too much into it. I just thought it was quite short. My other POIs had Skype/in person meetings with me so I found it rather strange.

Yep! It’s actually a woman

Hi everyone, I've been speaking with a potential supervisor and in the summer and they asked me to follow-up in the late fall to confirm if they were taking students for Fall 2019. When I followed up to ask they said "yes, go ahead and apply". I'm not really sure how I should interpret this or even how to reply ?. Any ideas? Does this mean they are willing to supervise? Asking for a friend lol..
