Has anyone received acceptance phone calls (not emails) over the weekend? Just trying to see if I should expect anything either today or tomorrow!

I haven't heard yet either!

This has been super helpful!

I'm still waiting! My POI said they would let me know if I was waitlisted if I didn't receive an offer and I haven't heard anything yet. They did say decisions were going to be made by Friday (yesterday). I'm not sure if that was pushed back for whatever reason.

I leave for an in-person Open House tomorrow. I am printing off my CV just in case anyone asks for it. I want to print it double sided for enviro-friendly reasons. Google says it's a no go, but I'm really passionate about eco-friendly initiatives so I am leaning towards double-sided despite the warnings not to. Thoughts? Thanks! Edit: my CV is 6 pages ?

Thank you! Would you happen to remember any specific questions that were asked?

I would also be interested in hearing any experience people have had. I have an in-person group interview coming up!

Congrats!!! I hope it goes well

That's amazing! Happy it is working out for you and you are able to make most of them. You should do a blog post or something on what you did this time around compared to previous cycles. It might help out a few people. And again, congrats!! Haha I am also running on coffee and cliff bars.

I did as well. I agree with @ClinPsyc20 in following up.

Congrats on all your interviews!!! Out of the curiosity of pure pragmatics ... are you attending/interviewing at all of them??

Hi! So just curious, for those who posted they were waitlisted by UBC, did you have interviews before you were waitlisted? And how did you receive that news? Also to confirm, this is UBC V not O right?

Thank you! Glad to know I wasn't the only one who over thought this haha.

I have a question about replying to interview invites. I was emailed by the graduate coordinator and my POI, the DCT, and another prof were CC'd. Should I "reply all" to my response? I know this seems trivial and I'm over thinking it, but I just wanted to see what others did in the same situation.

Yes, I am!

Hey! Out of curiosity, did they email you out of the blue or did you email them to inquire about the status of your application and that is how they responded? Thank you!

For those who have been to Open House type interviews, what sort of preparation did you do? I plan to be really familiar with my POI's current lab projects. However, I like to be extra prepared for things, so I was going to read up on everyone in the psych department (the department is relatively small) to have an idea of what everyone does. When talking to faculty I want to be able to hold a conversation and discuss their current research. Anything else you did to prepare? Or any tips for this kind of interview? I will be meeting all psych faculty and grad students and there will be a social event as well.

I agree about Dal. I have not heard from them and I thought I had a good chance of at least receiving an interview. For Calgary, are you talking about clinical or counselling? I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I'm pretty sure all invites for clinical went out on Wednesday. I may be wrong, but usually when it's a mass email, it's sent to everyone within the same day. Where did you get that info?

Thank you!

Can someone who has been to interviews give me some insight on appropriate make-up? I do not wear heavy make-up, but I want to wear some. For example, lipstick (modest colour) common or not?

Congrats on your interview at Dal! I have heard that they are extending invites during Jan, but not by any specific date. I think it's POI specific. Best of luck!

To the person who posted that they were contacted by McGill–If you see this, can you DM me your POI? Thank you

Me too! Thanks!

Hi! Can those who posted on the results page that they received interview invites to Waterloo and UBC pm me your POI initials? Thank you!
