Anyone else receive an "alternate" status for the OGS award at UofT??

Just got waitlisted for OGS for MSW program at UofT. Any idea of the possibility of getting off the alternate list?

Just got placed on the alternate list for OGS for MSW at UofT. Anyone know the possibility of getting off the waitlist?

I'm attending UofT MSW two year program this Fall. Just received an e-mail that I'm on the alternate list for OGS. Anyone know the possibility of getting off the waitlist for OGS?

Also wondering this!

Anyone hear back about OGS from UofT?

thanks! that's what i thought

Hey guys! I have a question about SSHRC (CGS-M)... So I received an offer for an award to be held at a school that I'm not attending. Is it possible to transfer the award to the university that I will be attending this fall?

hey everyone! I just got offered a SSHRC award from a school that I unfortunately didn't even interview at and already got rejected from. I remember reading in the forum a few weeks ago that sometimes in rare circumstances, people reach out to the school and let them know that they received an offer to see if they can offer a spot to you. I know this is very unlikely to happen, but should I give it a shot? If I do, would I e-mail the grad program director or the POIs I applied to work with?

Nope I was just loafting on accepting my offer from a few weeks ago lol

Accepted my offer for 2-Year MSW at UofT today!!!!

yes I agree!!!!

WOW this was super insightful and well-written. I've heard this so many times and it's so true! You pretty much need to have somewhat of a relationship in order to get into clinical psych- even current clinical psychologists have told me this. It really is rigged and not objective at all. It's really upsetting for aspiring psychologists but also for other fields (e.g., social work) that will inevitably become more competitive to get into because I know a lot of people who can't get into clinical psych (like me) will flock to social work, driving up the # of applications. I have reached out to profs before in clinical psych asking to work in their lab but nothing ever followed through. I'm at peace knowing I have done everything I can and I know social work is very similar and I've been accepted!

Thinking I will probably decline my offer for the MA in Psychological Science at Ryerson. Just wanted to put it out there for those who are waitlisted there!

Thanks @stella18 & @mphxpsych xo
