From what I know, most PI's have interviewed their prelim shortlist and have started to narrow it down. The PI I applied to told me that she was going to e-mail her short-short list sometime this week and from what I've heard, has already made rejections. My guess is that you'll hear back in the next week or so! The open house isn't until March 1st, but I think most PIs in the department know who they want already (is what has been implied).

Hi all, just came here to echo all the positive vibes about rejections! I myself just received a mass rejection from UBC and although it wasn’t a school I saw myself at, the sting was still there. A reminder that even though we are all stressed during applications, that our psyche is still important!! You guys are all amazing and have something to offer - don’t forget that even if you get a shitty mass e-mail. You chose this stream for a reason and don’t forget it!! Love how we are out here supporting each other - rejection isn’t a sign for you guys to quit and lose hope. If you guys are lookin for a sign that you should keep going - this is it!!!

Thanks for this! So in that case, if we haven't heard anything yet, most likely got the boot?

Western PIs are already reaching out? I thought their website said that they wouldn’t reach out until Jan 25... Did your PI say if all faculty was doing so? Btw congrats on the interview!!

Just got a second offer from my first choice - still trying to catch my breath ? School: Ryerson University Type: MA/PhD Clinical Psychology Date of Invite: Jan 9th, 2018 Type of invite: Email from POI for Skype/phone interview Interview date(s): Either Jan 14th or Jan 15th POI: PM me

Ah, thanks guys! Takes a load of stress off my back

Hey guys - just a question about POIs. For those of you who were invited for an interview, did you find that the people who invited you were the ones who e-mailed you back when you reached out early in the year? I applied to 5 POIs in 5 different schools and found that only 3/5 of actually e-mailed me back. Not sure if that means that I've "lost a chance" with the other 2 or that they weren't interested.

I applied! I agree - their Clinical program is actually fantastic (may be biased because I did my undergrad there lol). They've pumped out a bunch of novel research and there are a few big names there. I know a few graduate students there who speak very highly of their experience so far, but I also get why people may not be the most eager to go. London isn't exactly the best place in the world, haha.

Just got my first interview offer as well!! School: Queen's University Type: MSc/PhD Clinical Psychology Date of Invite: January 3rd, 2018 Type of invite: Email from POI for an in-person interview (I work in their lab) Interview date(s): The week of 1/7/19 Happy to DM details to anyone who's curious! My POI also said that they would like to do an in-person interview and then all successful candidates are invited to an open house. Kind of nervous considering I've worked in his/her lab for the year, haha don't know what to expect in the interview...

This is amazing - congratulations!! Would you mind PMing me the initials of your POI? I also applied to Queen's as well!
