    They mean the general faculty not the specific supervisor.

    You’re summarizing the research you’ve proposed and are planning to undertake. Don’t just copy parts of your proposal though. You’ll want to find another way to explain things. Explain things in plain, easy-to-understand language. If you get the funding, your summary could be posted for the public to read what your research is all about, so anyone from any discipline or the general public should be able to read the summary and understand what’s going to happen and what your research is all about.

    It sounds like you’re talking about the 1800 character summary versus the actual 1-page proposal. You’d discuss something like that in your 1-page proposal. Given the limited space, you won’t have much room, so you’ll have to be concise and find a way to tie it into everything else you have in your proposal.
  4. VanessaB
    List your previously completed education. Match your profile selections to your research proposal. If your proposed research is vastly different from your past research, in your proposal you’ll want to touch on how you’re prepared to conduct research in an area you’re less familiar with.

    I’ve attached the definition of what is considered official transcripts. You maybe want to double check with the faculties you intend to enter at various programs to verify their procedures.
  6. VanessaB
    You will need to contact all schools attended and request that they mail official transcripts to your home address. An online program and/grade summary from your school(s) is not considered official, so avoid using those. You will then scan all of the official transcripts into one master PDF document and load that in the system. The pages must be upright (i.e., in their readable position without head turning), so you may need to change some pages from a vertical to horizontal orientation or vice versa. As well, the official transcripts must be dated within six months of your application or less. For example, if you had an official transcript at home from a year ago, that wouldn’t suffice. Black and white files are preferred and the file size must be 10 MB or less. Given that transcripts take time to request and arrive, if you haven’t already done so, I suggest requesting them as soon as possible.

    That’s nice of them to provide a specific date. Sounds like you’ll hear soon!
  8. VanessaB
    Ah, yes that's soon, but still far away! I know the anguish of the constant waiting (and checking)! I believe your program application date was much later than ours (Dec 1 for the MEd School and Clinical Child Psych), so I heard back in mid February. Hopefully you get some good news about your program application and soon! ?

    Oh trust me, I agree, but I also don’t want to lose my job, and I would ideally like to continue working until I move for grad school. It puts a whole new meaning in working oneself to death I suppose?! I think they’re trying to work out a way for us to still fully do our job in ways that don’t expose us as much to the public. I guess my office is deemed a front-facing service because we deal with members of the public rather than students already enrolled, so we can’t solely shift to fully online until the provincial government gives us the green light. That being said, I called in sick today due to a sore throat, so they might require me to self-isolate anyways.

    I'm a full-time staff member in a post-secondary institution. We're still expected to work (and in the case of my office we are still expected to physically be at work), so I suspect there will still be someone to call and annoy if you wish to do so. ?
  11. VanessaB
    My best guess is that maybe you're on a waitlist of some sort; however, I think your questions are very reasonable, so it might be worthwhile to email the graduate secretary for the respective program you applied to and ask them what's going on with the applications given the current climate with covid-19.

    Canadian applicant who applied to a few Canadian schools... Accepted my top choice! School: University of Alberta Type of Program: MEd in School and Clinical Child Psychology Acceptance Date: February 13, 2020
  13. VanessaB
    Oh gosh, I sure hope they don’t postpone it that long, but it’s hard to say. The courses seem very scaffolded at U of A, so not sure how that would work. I’m also selling my house to move to Edmonton, so hopefully things start on time. ?
  14. VanessaB
    Given that covid-19 is making its way through Canada along with the added factor of budget cuts to post-secondary education (especially in Alberta), is anyone else who will be starting a program in Fall 2020 concerned about how these things may influence their program?
  15. VanessaB
    Hopefully you get some good news! ? Also, I love horror movies too! I find a lot of people don’t like the genre, but I like the thrill of being scared.

    Hi everyone, If anyone else is beginning graduate studies at UAlberta in Fall 2020, let's connect! Feel free to tell everyone a little about yourself (e.g., what program you're taking, what you're most looking forward to, hobbies, work/volunteer interests, fun facts, and so on). Vanessa
  17. VanessaB
    Wow! For some programs, those numbers are just . . . ?
  18. VanessaB
    Sorry about your rejection. Congrats on your Windsor acceptance! I agree that gaining admission into highly competitive programs can be a long process! In fact, when I discovered my developing interest in psychology, I took a huge risk. That is to say, I gave up my teaching contract and went back to school in my late 20s to get a third undergraduate degree in order to make my dreams a reality, and I took out student loans so I could work less and volunteer more in order to build up my psychology-related experience.
  19. VanessaB
    Wow, 530 applicants! That's insane! Just out of curiosity, what website are these stats posted on?
  20. VanessaB
    ??‍♀️
  21. VanessaB
    I have no idea how their process actually works, but that’s my best guess. It’s possible she could be on a waitlist of some sort, but ultimately I can’t say for sure. Acceptance dates could be dependent on supervisors too, but again that’s only a guess.

    I’m not sure if there’s anyone who is moving to Calgary for graduate studies and will be looking for a place to rent. I own an 1182 sq ft townhouse in Calgary, but I’m moving to Edmonton for my graduate program in the fall. As such, I’m planning on renting out my master bedroom room (or possibly two rooms as I have one roommate now who I rent my spare bedroom to, but she’s amazing and you’ll love her if she stays after my Edmonton move). If you’re interested, pm me and we can chat more about it.
  23. VanessaB
    If you’re talking about MP-B then yes, but I was rejected from SCCP at OISE, so don’t worry I’m not your competition. ?
  24. VanessaB
    As far as I can tell, I’m the only person on here who has received an acceptance for UAlberta’s SCCP MEd program. I believe my deadline to accept was March 9, so I suspect the school may send out a second round of offers after that date.
  25. VanessaB
    I’m pretty sure CGS-M refers to either SSHRC, NSERC, or CIHR.
