I am not sure if this has been mentioned but I believe others have said that OISE provides a stipend for the first year of the MA program? Then, you can apply to OGS and SSHRC this upcoming fall competition that would be held for MA year 2. I have also heard that if you do not receive SHHRC or OGS during the application cycle that it is easier to get once you are actually in your MA as you may possibly have a more clear project idea/research direction (due to your thesis) and have the help from your PI as well.

School: York University Type: Clinical-Developmental Psychology MA/PhD Acceptance/Waitlist/Rejection: Acceptance Type of Notification: Official Email Date Notified: 2/04/2022 This is my fourth cycle and it still doesn't feel real! I cannot believe it, truly. I had given up last year but thought I would try once more. If anyone has any questions, don't hesitate to reach out. This is your reminder that the path may not be linear, might take longer than you anticipated, but if this is really your route then continue working towards it!

Me as well! Thanks ?

Someone on the Clinical/counselling psychology discord has an interview for McMaster RCT. Not sure who their POI is though.

Me too as well! Thank you ?

School: York (Clinical-Developmental Psychology) Date of invite: January 6 Date of interview: January 25 (meeting with POI followed by a meeting with post-docs, and grad students) I got a direct email from the POI. I was also invited to the open house on January 28. If anyone is a current student or has some insight into the interview please let me know . Feel free to message me for POI initials!

I reached out to both the admissions representative and the Psyc graduate program assistant and both responded that there are no formats/guidelines but that it needs to cover your research interests and longterm goals. They just made this change from a fillable PDF with specific questions on Nov 3 due to departmental changes so it doesn't feel very organized. They have said to ignore the 1000 word statement in the admissions form, you upload the statement in webadvisor once you receive an account. I hope this helps!

I had an interview and was waitlisted. But just found out today that I was not accepted off the waitlist.

I am not sure if this week is when offers went out as well, but news about the waitlist went out today.

I actually took more than a full courseload over my last two years. So I will contact them to see! Thanks for your help and same with @PsycUndergrad. I appreciate it!

I got notified this morning that a decision for my CGS-M application was made. I thought this was weird since decisions normally aren't provided until April 1. However, when I checked my application, one of my schools deemed my GPA to not be a "first-class average." I am confused, as I saw online that it refers to a minimum of 80% in EACH of the last two years of undegrad. I far surpass this requirement. It then states on the CGS-M application that a "first-class average" is up to the host institution. So can anyone provide insight as to what the actual requirement is? I have applied 3 times for this grant, and not once have I ever been deemed ineligible by an institution, so I just find it weird. Also, if it happens that I was deemed ineligible by accident, is there any way to refute this decision? Any help with how to navigate this would be appreciated!

Rejected from Western, which I already assumed since I didn't interview there. However, I was in contact with a professor earlier on who said we had a great fit and encouraged me to apply to their program. Would it be okay if I sent them an email asking how I can improve my application for next time?

I feel the same way. This is my third time applying and I haven't heard anything either. Crossing my fingers for you!!

When was the interview day? I didn't realize it was this soon as someone was just contacted by their POI last week.

Is this for the Clinical developmental program at York as well?
