    I was going to post about the same thing. My husband scored in the mid 15s as well and the letter says his application was recommended for funding, but there weren't enough funds available. The last application funded scored 15.07/18. I interpreted this as they recommended more applications for funding than they had funding for. So the 15.07/18 represents the "lowest" score of someone recommended for funding, but the person who scored 15.07 also didn't actually get the funding. Anyone know if this interpretation is correct?

    Current grad student at York back again. If you applied to MK (and only MK) at York for adult clinical, I have some info. Please message me for details.

    Current clinical student at York here. Grad students got an email today stating that interview offers should be going out next week. I know that people will ask but I don't know ANYTHING about any candidates who are getting interview invites, including from my own supervisor, so I am of no help there.

    Just an FYI from a current York student: the neuropsych stream isn't treated as a separate program during the admissions process, since anyone who is accepted into the clinical program (either C or CD) can choose to go into the neuropsych stream. So results about York re: clinical should be applicable to you!
  14. sparrow123
    Yeah, that's weird. York doesn't allow direct to PhD admissions for clinical psych, you have to apply for a Master's first. Unless they already had a clinical Master's or if they got special permission I guess - which someone in my cohort did actually, but that was after they were admitted. (I'm currently in the clinical program at York.)

    York is always late (I think I heard on January 30 last year), and since they received so many applications this year I wouldn't be surprised if they're even later. I know of one prof who is going to interview two potential grad students in the next two weeks. (I'm a current York student.)

    There is a great thread from last year that might be helpful to you! Also check out Mitch's guide: http://mitch.web.unc.edu/files/2017/02/MitchGradSchoolAdvice.pdf

    DM'd you!

    It's even worse with my cohort - 5/8 of us already have Master's degrees (this is York Adult Clinical btw). FIVE!

    10000000%. I had a hell of a roller coaster ride with the school I was eventually accepted at... I didn't end up getting accepted until the very end of March, weeks after initial offers went out and when my POI said I would be accepted. It was so stressful to get my hopes up wildly, only to learn that I might not get in.

    Ooh yes, from my understanding, after the shortlist is created and the POI has interviewed their candidates, it's basically up to them who to offer admission to although it does still have to be approved by the admissions committee! My understanding is that the approval by the admissions committee at that point is more of a formality than anything although they can still say no for some reason (which seems unlikely). Yes, that definitely makes the most sense! Sorry I should have been more clear about that. York has the largest graduate psychology program in Canada apparently so it makes sense that the number of applications is huge. I didn't mean to unduly alarm y'all sorry!

    Current York clinical student here. Interview invites tend to go out in the last week of January. I think I heard on January 29 or 30 when I applied last year. There is an admissions committee (I'm not sure if this is what this comment is referring to?) and they make a shortlist of candidates. Typically most profs will interview two candidates but some interview more. Last year the interview day was on February 14. Also we were only interviewed by our POI, no one else and they vary in formality. Mine was incredibly informal but most of my cohort had a more intense experience. That being said, I'm wondering if things might be a bit later this year. I heard from my supervisor that the department received over 1000 applications this year, which is about double the normal volume.

    York isn't requiring GRE scores for this admission year either. (I'm an incoming student for Fall 2020 and just received an email about it)
  27. sparrow123
    I just heard back this morning that I received one. I'm a former grad student there and I still get the emails meant for grad students. The department head sent an email a few weeks ago saying that all graduate classes will be held online in the fall, with the "only potential exception involves labs in our first-year assessment classes in the clinical psychology program". Haven't gotten any emails about TA-ships, but in the past we weren't emailed about that until June/July.

    Just adding some info, York said that they are expecting September to be online and will hopefully transition to in person classes in October.
