Just received an unofficial offer from POI at Lakehead saying I got accept to the program this year ! Hopefully I will be able to start soon after defending my thesis Fingers crossed Thank you to everyone for all your support and openness on this forum. 

Hi everyone! This is super late because I wanted to wait until I got my official notice. 
School: OISE
Type: CCP
Acceptance/Waitlist/Rejection: Acceptance
Type of Notification: Email to check portal
Date Notified: Unofficial notice from POI on March 24 and official acceptance email April 8
DM for POI: Yes!
Just for some perspective, this is not my first time applying. I ended up doing a totally different Master's in between and learned so much. This time around, I only applied to this one program because it was the research I'm passionate about and I'm super grateful it worked out!

"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!

It happened for me!!! I got the award offer and I've accepted!!!

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!

Welp, I was indifferent about CGS-M given that I didn't get in anywhere but now I have an ever-so-small glimmer of hope ?

Hey everyone!

I hopped on to share some great news: I GOT AN OFFER FROM MY DREAM PROGRAM!
School: University of Toronto, OISE
Type: MA in School and Clinical Child Psychology
Acceptance/Waitlist/Rejection: Acceptance
Type of Notification: Email from assigned Faculty Advisor, who gave unofficial offer; Email from Department to check SGS portal for decision, where two documents were uploaded (official offer letter and funding information)
Date Notified: March 24, 2021; March 25, 2021
DM for POI: Sure thing!

Thank you all for being so supportive to one another. I hope everyone gets accepted into the school of their dreams when the time is right for them.  

Some quick facts about my application
My GPA wasn't so great but I hope that offers some hope for people applying! I also didn't major in psychology but had enough courses to be treated as equal. I did better in my last year but honestly it wasn't that competitive. I did, however, have many publications and conference presentations/posters. I work at two different hospitals and a lab at UofT. My three references were all professors with two of them being child and adolescent clinicians: a psychiatrist and psychologist. I think it was my referees, letter of intent, and CV that made up for my marks

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
