  1. I got the sense from that POI that it was their specific cut-off, not across the board for york. Congratulations!
  2. I believe offers from Western's Counselling have already gone out
  3. I personally wouldn't pursue it if you know that you want to do a PhD in the future, given both the fact it's course-based and there's currently no PhD option.
  4. Just received my rejection from SFU from the graduate coordinator
  5. Just happened to me! Take a year to get your bearings, gain more research/applied experience and sharpen (or expand) your goals. For me the biggest issue was that I tried to tailor one of my ideas to the program/POI, rather than opening myself and framing myself as a valuable contributor to their team. For me this meant throwing my statement of intent out the window and starting again from scratch. Also if you have any external funding applications, it may be advantageous to write a proposal specifically off their research, so they can see that you're serious about their work and being a part of their lab. Additionally I suggest broadening the variety of programs you apply to for the next round, and keeping your options as open as possible.
  6. I think if you get invited to talk about research interests that's a really good thing, even if you weren't invited initially
  7. Most of the time it comes across more negative if you contact POIs in the in between stage, unfortunately at this point it's probably best to just wait it out (which I know is excruciating!)
  8. Usually there's the first batch of rejections for people who don't qualify, then there's rolling acceptances. For the most part waitlisted is typically for people who have interviewed and mass rejections will be closer to mid-end of March.
  9. Guelph and Ryerson have already sent out interview invites I believe
  10. I took the General GRE three times, Psych twice. My second general GRE score was actually the highest out of the three, and my psych was 40th percentile points higher the second time around!
  11. OISE SSCP invites will be going out sometime in the next two weeks
  12. My understanding is that Guelph, UBC (O and Vancouver) and Dalhousie have sent out all of their interview invites at this point.
  13. It's my understanding that Ryerson interview invites are by POI. I believe their open house is February 7, so keep that in mind.
  14. Guelph's interviews are supposed to be mid January to mid February, so I'd say don't worry too much about that one
  15. Definitely later in the game. I think I got my rejection last year in March through the online portal. They didn't email me directly until weeks later so make sure to check in there.
  16. I only used the Kaplan review book and scored in the 93rd percentile. I also agree that you should delve into an intro psych text book, particularly in the area of biological psychology and statisics. What's also important to do is take the practice test ets provides early, and thoroughly research and write up any topics covered in there (even as just multiple choice options). The Kaplan/Princeton review practice tests will give you inflated marks and will be much easier in comparison. Play to your strengths and make sure you know what you know. For example I made sure I did well in clinical and developmental sections as I applied for child clinical programs. As such, my 75th percentile in biological psych didn't matter as much. Also remember that it's nearly impossible to have exhaustive knowledge of the test. Even when you write it you'll come across some things you've never heard before. Stay calm and know that raw score doesn't matter; it's just percentile. I probably only got a 70% on the test but still came out really well overall. best of luck!
  17. Last year I was accepted to Alberta's SCCP program on March 30 with no interview or contact prior to that point
