We're told to get into detail with our proposed research design. Do we need to include the full title of our questionnaire in the proposal (e.g., when we are listing pre-test measurement questionnaires)? Presumably, faculty of the institutions will see our proposal, (for CGS-M) so they will be familiar with the literature, and know what we're talking about.
Would just an abbreviation be appropriate?

Good point, but BDI was just an example. I would only mention test administration for tests requiring a test user and test taker.
By the way, I'm looking at research programs (not PsyD).

Some conflicting answers. Any other input?

What are your thoughts on writing about specific questionnaires in your personal statement (e.g., Beck Depression Inventory)? How about familiarity with experimental paradigms?
Should one just say "gained experience administering depression questionnaires"? or "gained experience administering BDI"? Is the discernment based on whether the questionnaire is relevant to the POI's area of research? Should I talk about sub-scales, interpretation, etc.?
Mitch's guide says to go in-depth, but not sure if I'm applying the principle correctly.

Lots of clinical psychology programs are saying "average GPA". Does this mean cumulative (over 4 years)? Or can this also mean last 2 years? Does "average GPA" vary by school?

Thanks for the information guys. Does anyone else with experience or knowledge want to chime in? Sorry for bump!

Hi everyone,
I have a quick question about funding. Here in Canada, you get funding either through 1) funding by simply admission / supervisor grant, 2) as a TA for the school, and 3) write a proposal for a grant for CGS-M, Vanier, etc.
Here in Canada, PhD applicants are expected to apply for grant funding along with their application. You aren't competitive without an application.
I've heard American PhD are fully funded. Because of this difference, do applications for US schools still expect students to apply for grants to be competitive? If so, what are the major grant organizations for clinical psychology-related funding? In Canada, it is centralized, so we really just write one application and that's it. Are there multiple for US schools?

Anyone here from UOFT (Clinical and counselling) or UBC-V?

I found out how to sign into acorn!
I've just been mentally preparing for some news on the first of March. A friend of mine told me that we should be expecting an e-mail although I was expecting snail mail. Have you heard anything yet?
if you've been unofficially accepted, does acorn show you enrolled in a program by any chance?

Hi Everyone,
I am also happy to have found this group. I am a first time applicant with a Master's degree in experimental psychology (MSc) and a specialist undergraduate degree in psychology research (BSc Hons). I was hoping to get some advice from those who are already in a clinical psychology PhD program about whether to accept an offer or not. I applied to the following Clinical Psychology PhD programs:
McGill
U of T Scarborough
U of Waterloo
U of Windsor
York University
UBC
Concordia
So far, I interviewed and was recommended for admission at the University of Windsor (Adult Clinical) and was rejected from UBC. I did not get invited to interview at UTSC, McGill, U of Waterloo and York so I assume those might all be rejections. I am not sure about Concordia yet.
I am also not sure if I will accept the offer from the University of Windsor (I have not heard anything about funding yet). My main goal is to go into academia (I have more of a research focus). My desire is not only to become a clinical psychologist, but I would also like to become a professor and run a lab. I got the impression that most of the students who graduate from the PhD program at Windsor become clinicians, primarily. In addition, the professor at Windsor whose work I am interested in does research in an area that I am curious about, but it's not the perfect fit, although they seemed open to new ideas for the PhD.
I also know that Clinical Psychology PhD programs are highly competitive and I am lucky to have received an offer the first time I apply. But I am not sure what to do. I am considering maybe I should wait, refine some of my research interests, better articulate them, try to get a publication and reapply next year. I am also thinking maybe of getting a second Master's degree in Clinical Psychology so that I increase my chances of getting into the programs and labs that do research I am really excited by. What would you do if you were in my shoes?
Thank you in advance for reading my post and your advice.
Hey, how did you know you got rejected at UBC? Email/letter/call? Were you invited to the first round of interviews?
Anyone got an update on UofT's Clinical & Counselling or UBC Vancouver Clinical Psychology program?
What's the best backup plan?

No advice but I'm in the same boat as you! Let's sink together
