I received an offer from the U of A for the SCCP program on Tuesday and was told from a POI to expect a U of C SACP offer right away. Decision time!

how i feel working in research w/ 190832 things to do as the rejections start to pour in

I have one from a POI in SACP in Calgary Wednesday! Good luck!!! 

I'm sorry to hear that.  I am expecting to get mine soon.  I did not receive an interview invite, so I know I will not be attending.  For me, this is 50% of the places I have applied this year.  So, I know the feeling of disappointment. Hang in there!

Received email from U of M POI for prelim interview tomorrow

Hey All,
For UVIC, from my understanding through discussion with a bunch of people is that the grad secretary sends our invites once the POI requests an applicant to be interviewed. So, if you have received an invitation, that is fantastic but, most people will find out this coming week. Last year they found out the following week as well!
Let's keep each other updated

Thesis based!

I would like to know, too.  I haven't heard a peep from UBC or UBC-O.  I am getting pretty nervous. 

What does this mean?  I've seen a few UCalgary invites on the results board.  Does anyone know what the process is?

Last year I was accepted to Alberta's SCCP program on March 30 with no interview or contact prior to that point

I would say it's probably slightly easier to get into than a clinical program. However you still need a competitive application. Most people in my program had good grades and many had some applicable research and/or work-related experience. I'm not sure about transferring an MA in school psychology back to Canada, I would say that depends entirely on how the program is structured and on the requirements of provincial licensing boards. But I'd think an APA accredited PhD in school psych from the US in particular would be transferable across the boards. Keep in mind that if you are looking into US programs that school psychology there is very driven by special education law so there are differences between what a school psych looks like in the US and in Canada.

Accepted into OISE program! will accept. pm me for POI.
Thank you for this forum, it has been very helpful. Never give up trying no matter how many assholes tell you it's impossible.

What schools offer a masters of education in counselling? Thanks

I would definitely start no earlier than September. 

My mentors told me to wait till the end of September, ususally by then the POI's have a good idea on funding and whether or not they can take a student. I got into contact with all of mine the first week of October and all were really awesome to respond quickly to let me know what their plans were!

A question for those applying in the fall - when is a good time to email your POI? I was thinking September/October, but wasn't sure.

I'm right there with you! Applying to Clinical psych across Canada, writing the Psych GRE in April and haven't scheduled the general GRE yet

We actually have to take the GRE as well

Hey guys,
Hope everyone is doing great !!
Looks like I'm also in the same boat as rest of you. I am looking forward to apply to a couple of doctoral programs for fall, 2018 in Canada. I will be applying to both I-O psych and educational research, measurement, and evaluation programs though. 
Best of luck to everyone.
P.S. I am an international student here in the states, currently enrolled in a master's, and hopefully will be graduating this December
 
 

I'm right there with you. I'm applying next fall to a Quantitative Psychology PhD program. Have you taken your GRE yet?

Got accepted at U of Calgary MSc program! A bit shocked right now ! 

I always like to ask faculty (including my POI) why they're passionate about their research specifically, or how they got interested in it. I like hearing people talk about what they're passionate about, and it helps me get to know them better - plus they seem to enjoy discussing it too!
