Hey! Does anyone here know anything about Ryerson's admission process and when they'll be giving their final list of applicants offers of admission (or perhaps if they already have)?

congratulations! do you mind dm-ing me which school you gained an offer from?

I haven't heard anything from York. I did contact the Director of Clinical Training (Dr. Jill Rich) and she was kind enough to notify me that "at least 3 faculty members have indicated the students they are inviting to the Open House." This e-mail came in on February 2.

Hey! I was actually speaking to another grad student about this the other day and she actually encouraged this type of correspondence. She even managed to sneak in some more interviews by personally reaching out, so i'd definitely say worth a try!

Hey! I came in for an interview at a separate university the other day and was asked a number of research/ethical/clinical questions. I think you can expect questions like "what interpersonal/ethical challenges have you experienced when dealing with clients and how did you resolve that?" "from a clinical perspective, what do you think is your strongest point?" "if you bump into a client at party, should you say hi to him/her? what possible consequences do you think might arise from this situation?" for a lot of these "clinical" questions, it's hard to get a straight wrong answer. A lot of them are justifiable through reasoning, you just have to show that you are capable of thinking ahead and considering the potential consequences that come out of your responses. the professor interviewing me also said that he uses these questions to see how well i respond to feedback- while i was answering them, he was throwing me a lot of other "but what if this happens" statements. I suppose he was just checking to see if i was able to incorporate his input and change my answer accordingly. I was also asked what my theoretical orientation was in terms of interventions (e.g., CBT, human-centred, etc.) Alternatively, while preparing for that interview, i came across this pdf <http://www2.tulane.edu/sse/psyc/news-and-events/archive/upload/InterviewQuestions.pdf>. I found it really helpful and I hope you do too. Even if a lot of the questions listed aren't asked, I think you'll find that, while trying to answer these questions, a lot of the responses you have are adaptable to the questions you're going to be asked during the interview day. Hope that helps! Good luck!!

Has anyone heard from Ottawa by any chance?

Hey! New user here! I spoke with a graduate student in the clinical psychology program recently and she mentioned that in-person interviews would be finished by February so I'm assuming that majority of the faculty have conducted their informal interviews by now. If you haven't been contacted yet, I know that it's not uncommon for schools to have two batches of interviews (one in January and another in February?). Perhaps you'll be contacted in the second phase! The graduate student I spoke with was actually admitted from the second batch of interviews so there's still hope!! Best of luck!!
