    I would email for sure. Email the grad prog director and/or admin and CC your POIs. good luck!
  2. Mickey26
    I encourage you to email them. I did when I was alternate and was told my position. Good luck!

    " Offers to alternate applicants may be made up until January 31 of the next calendar year. It is the responsibility of the applicant to regularly check the research portal between April 1 and January 31 for results of the competition." Source: https://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/students-etudiants/pg-cs/cgsm-bescm_eng.asp Aka January 31st, 2022 for this years competition.

    "Alternate" = wait listed. I was an alternate for two schools, and they ultimately got more funding, so I received CGSM CIHR the summer before I started at my current program. There is always hope! It doesn't guarantee you funding but it ultimately doesn't mean you were "rejected". You will receive an email of a status change if your status changes. Best of luck!

    I have heard of this and I encourage anyone who receives CGS-M to contact the program if you were previously rejected from the admission committee. I've personally heard of a few cases where they did end up taking the applicant. Good luck!

    It should be! If the portal isn't down hahaah Best of luck!
  7. Mickey26
    Oh so I woke up super early at 6am MT just to check results (2 yrs ago now?). The portal crashed in the morning LOL given too many users were trying to logon so I went back to sleep and was able to check/log on in the afternoon haha. So not sure waking up early to check results is helpful haha

    I cannot answer your query per say, but can relate to this predicament! DM me if you wanna chat re: moving away from home

    This is a running doc https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1f6ZyVGn-opa_ijRyntHxfJJkaSNya4h-bwEDeDGInv4/edit#gid=1109387584 Edit: I'm aware of at least 2 Canadian schools aiming to remove it forever. They still need to go through the proper channels.

    The grad coordinator sent out interview invites last week to all streams of psych (not counselling/school psych--thats a diff department at UCalg). I previously interviewed at UC so I'm familiar with the process/also heard from a friend who got the email last week.

    Hm I did start on research in the summer prior to grad school only b/c it would benefit me (eg more pubs the better for award applications etc). I think its more common to do it voluntarily, than paid. But I could be wrong!
  12. Mickey26
    Yup. This is consistent with what I've heard. Had a friend get an offer there for the 2019 application season without interviewing.
  13. Mickey26
    I was interviewed/offered a spot in a program where I didn't list CGS-M for (could only list 3 schools lol). The PI had sufficient funding though and I would have applied for CGS-M once I was in grad school. I think it depends on whether your PI has enough funding for you/is willing to support you that first year if you didn't apply for external funding.

    Hello! So I only heard of the PEI PsyD program this year--I believe its relatively new? I'm assuming they'll be aiming for accreditation once they've had few cohorts going. Have you asked the program admin folx about plans for accreditation? I'd also consider that if you do get into the program prior to the program getting accredited, and then the program gets accreditation while your in the program, I wonder if you'd be grandfathered in and be able to graduate with an accredited degree. Just a few things to consider
  15. Mickey26
    100% dependent on the situation. I was encouraged by my Honour's supervisor to go to go to a different school for grad school. My goal is to work in academia so apparently its frowned upon to get all your degrees in the same place? I'm not sure if this same sentiment is shared for those who want to be clinicians only. Or perhaps the person did an Honours thesis in one research area but wants to switch to a different area for grad school. These are all possible scenarios
  16. Mickey26
    Thank you!
  17. Mickey26
    Yup. I never did an informal interview at any of the 5 schools I applied to. I still formally interviewed at 3 and then was lucky enough to choose which school I wanted to attend. Most applicants I personally know of never do an informal interview. All the faculty I personally know also don't do informal interviews b/c its a lot of time/energy, etc.
  18. Mickey26
    UOttawa. And all the Quebec schools. They believe taking the GRE, which is in English, would disadvantage French-speaking applicants.
  19. Mickey26
    Thanks Vanessa! I wasn't aware of this update! It say "For applicants who commenced graduate studies after August 31, 2020", but I started Sept 2019 so I'll follow up with them Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
  20. Mickey26
    No sorry. They only do one round of interviews (which was this Monday and Wed). They then rank order candidates, and if the top choice declines, they'd move to the next candidate etc
  21. Mickey26
    I mean they still might send out invites end of Dec, but it doesnt seem like the interviews itself are being held till the new yr. I haven't heard of interview date(s) yet for Ryerson though. make sense?
  22. Mickey26
    Faculty at Ryerson haven't even seen the applications yet. I've been told they don't plan on interviewing till the new year, which is typical of Cdn schools (except like Dal lol).
  23. Mickey26
    Dal is considering/interviewing more students than ever before in program history LOL. This might be the case across all schools this year! Good luck everyone!
  24. Mickey26
    Absolutely! Tangible research output = pubs (does not have to be published, can be under review, does not have to be 1st author, etc), conferences (even student run conferences count!!). Faculty know its hard to go to a national conference as a student. So present at as many local/student-run conferences as you feasibly can. Even the year end psychology conference at your school counts!
  25. Mickey26
    It's definitely rare. Most of the current grad students I've spoken to applied 2-3 times before being accepted. For example, a panel I was recently on about applying to grad school, only 2/5 students got in their first cycle/right after undergrad. I wouldn't say its impossible, but def rare. Again, depends on your experiences/research output etc etc
