Hi guys! I'm currently considering speech-language pathology as an alternative to clinical psychology, and I was wondering, generally, how competitive SLP programs are. I'm in Canada, so if you're able to speak specifically about Canadian programs, that would be great. Also, if anyone has any insight as to what kinds of things are most important for a strong application (research experience, clinical experience, GPA, etc.) that would also be incredibly helpful! Thanks in advance!

Has anyone heard anything at all from York for the adult clinical program? I'm starting to get anxious since their open house is on the 16th, but it doesn't seem like anyone has heard from them?

Could the person that posted in results saying they had their status on myfile for York changed to unsuccessful for the adult clinical program pretty please DM me their POI?

Thank you!! Super helpful, was starting to worry.

Has anyone heard from York yet?

I used the Princeton Review books and scored in the 93rd percentile, but I do have a psychology background so I'm not sure how relevant my experience is to you. Here are a few pointers you might find helpful regardless: Before you start studying, take the free practice test offered by ETS. If you google "GRE free psychology practice test" it should come up (if you have trouble finding it DM me and I can send it along). This practice test will give you a good idea of how much you already know, what you're good at, what areas you need to work on, etc. You can then tailor your studying around trying to improve your weak areas I'm seconding others above in saying that a good intro psych textbook can be really helpful - most psych GRE books like Princeton Review or Kaplan provide a pretty broad overview of topics. If there's something you're not clear on in the study books, you can read about it in more detail in the textbook. The textbook may also just explain it in a different way that makes more sense to you Try your best to understand the material as opposed to just memorizing it - try and come up with examples of concepts, draw diagrams if it helps. You're more likely to have the information stick if you aren't just trying to cram definitions into your brain

Does anyone know what York's timeline is for reviewing applications, sending out interview invites, etc.? I've been trying to find it on their website but no luck. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place.

Hi guys! Not sure if this is the best place to put this, but I didn't know where else would make sense. I'm wondering what, aside from education, research experience, volunteer experience, & awards and scholarships, would go on a CV for someone applying to masters programs in clinical psychology. I have one manuscript in preparation, which I've been told is acceptable to include since I'm at the very beginning of my academic career, so I've included that, but is there anything else that's relevant? Should I include a section for skills (for example, I'm proficient in SPSS & I have ethics certification to conduct research with humans), or a section about relevant coursework? I'm worried my CV will look bare Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated!
