Not clinical related, but does anybody know anything about U of Alberta’s counselling (MEd) program? I haven’t heard a peep which is surprising since Calgary’s counselling psych. offers have all been sent out.

Hadn't even considered this question before you mentioned it, thank you so much! I'll definitely be sure to prep an answer on the differences/why I'm interested in counselling.

Does anyone have any advice/experiences to share for a counselling psych program interview compared to the questions typically asked in a clinical based interview?

Ahh rejected from USask... finally heard back. My POI said there was another "equally qualified" candidate to quote, just with a better fit for research interests. Bummer ?

So true - I didn't feel super confident with the 2nd interview (not w/ my POI) so right now I'm just sitting here overthinking and the temptation to just ask is killing me. I think I'm going to call the program coordinator per @Mickey26 suggestion to inquire about my status, as I feel like doing that is much better than reaching out to the POI directly. There's a huge part of me just desperately envisioning the email acceptance coming into my inbox sometime this week but I'm not too sure about that ?

Ahh thank you so much! That's very true, I think a quick call wouldn't hurt to just inquire at least. Thank you for your input!!

Looking for advice! I interviewed with Saskatchewan several weeks ago (both with my POI and another faculty member) and was told I would “find out” by the end of the month... as in January. Right now I’m assuming the lack of contact just means a rejection, but I’m almost positive she said I would find out either way, so I’m a little stuck. The online portal hasn’t changed at all, but I’m not really sure if emailing my POI is appropriate or reflects poorly on me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Okay so I've been pretty quiet on this forum but just had to post to say that I am loving the transparent and accepting atmosphere we have on here! This process has been cut-throat, and I constantly find myself freaking out and comparing myself to others, which obviously only makes things worse. Being able to come on to this site and have so many people sharing similar feeling and situations helps tremendously. I really appreciate you guys!

Any news on dal? I know interviews happened a long time ago, but no communication since. I didn't apply, but my friend did and was wondering!

First interview offer - School: USaskatchewan Type: MA/PhD Clinical Psychology Date of Invite: Jan. 8/2019 Type of invite: Email from POI for Skype/phone interview Interview date(s): Thursday, Jan. 10/19 POI: pm me

Hi everyone! Longtime lurker here on this website, decided to finally make an account so I can contribute any info if I can or ask questions! I'm applying to both clinical and counseling MA/Ph.D programs across Canada, and currently finishing up uni down in the states. Has anyone heard back from schools with Dec. 1 deadlines? I know my friend applied to Dal and already completed a preliminary interview last week, but I didn't apply there. I haven't heard anything from anyone else though!
