Hello there! I have a volunteer RA position secured in Brockville (my hometown) at the Brockville Mental Health Centre (part of the royal) with an adjunct prof from uOttawa. I am doing my thesis! I will definitely put PURE on my CV, but I'm not sure if I will be first author (I should ask) or if it will be counted on the uOttawa rankings grid. So, I am also submitting an abstract to a conference at uOttawa as the first author. I guess its best to have as many conferences as possible I suppose.

First of all, I would like to thank everyone for their speedy responses! It seems like I am looking for an easy answer for how to get admitted and there certainly isn't one. I would feel comforted if someone told me that I am at least on the right track to a Fall 2020 admission. I am currently in my last semester of a psychology BA from Carleton. My GPA is very competitive 11.6/12 (All A and A+ with only one A-), however, my experience is non-existent. I am taking a "gap year" to volunteer as a clinical RA at a hospital affiliated with the University of Ottawa. I would have ~7 months RA experience at the time of my application and 16 months experience by September 2020. I will hopefully have one first author conference presentation before I apply and there is no chance of me getting a publication anytime soon... Do you think that my time at the hospital, networking with uOttawa facility would be sufficient for a solid POI? Thanks.

Hi everyone! I plan on applying for Fall 2020. Although it is great to congratulate each other for getting interviews and being accepted, I think this form would be much more useful if we all shared our stats... That's how law and medical school forms typically work.
