    I received a CGS-M award this year for a school I had not interviewed with, but had not yet been rejected from. For me, it was a no. I still encourage people to reach out as this may differ across programs. Good luck to everyone in the last week or so ❤️

    Hi, are you aware if this for clinical or clinical-developmental or both? Thank you for asking!

    I would also be interested in knowing this. It sounds like offers have gone out yesterday and today. It's unclear if more will be going out tomorrow, or if they are done reaching out to their top selected candidates.

    Me as well please, thank you!

    Has anyone here heard back from Ryerson after the visiting day?
  6. UroboroS
    Wondering as well!
  7. UroboroS
    Thank you for asking this. I have been wondering the same thing!
  8. UroboroS
    I agree with you. I would wait at least until next week. Did you send a thank you note after the interview?
  9. UroboroS
    How long has it been since your interview?
  10. UroboroS
    Good idea, and no problem!

    I wholeheartedly recommended sending thank you notes. I've heard that it does matter to some people and I can assure you it would not be perceived as bothering them. How long has it been since your interview?
  12. UroboroS
    Why lol?

    That's a good question! I wonder if it will be quicker this year because (most) interviews have been conducted. If anyone has any insight on this it would be much appreciated!

    I think if you generally want to let them know you enjoyed talking with them and are interested in their research, then that's great! Programs like to see that prospective applicants will get along with many faculty members and not just their PI. You will have committee members, practicum supervisors, etc that you will be developing relationships with throughout your degree. So, I think showing that interest would demonstrate your overall excitement and interest in the program. If however, you want to inquire about switching which POI you would like as your primary supervisor and you have already gone through formal interviews, I would advise against this. Like I mentioned, if you are admitted you may have opportunities to collaborate with this faculty member in some fashion. I have not heard of anyone doing this and I think it may come off unfocused and unprofessional. Not to mention your primary POI might feel shafted (even if the other faculty member has overlapping interests). You could inquire about the possibility of co-supervision, but I would only personally inquire about this if and when I received an official offer.

    To the UBCO posters on the results page: can you please pm if you see this? Thank you ?

    Good question. After visiting day, it is unclear how decisions are made. From what I know, visiting day has no bearing on admissions decisions. It is like an orientation of the program, etc. After all interviews have been conducted, I think (but I'm not 100% sure) it's a committee decision with POI's input weighted heavily. At this point faculty priority would come into play, such as who has first pick at taking on a student. And yes, I think the short-lists are incase top selected applicants decline their offers.

    This is what it sounds like is happening this year. Although, profs are on their own timelines for scheduling prelims, and even the secondary interviews are happening at different times. That being said, it seems like they want all interviews be finished before the visiting day. From what I can tell, POI's had a semi-short list of applicants that they conducted prelims with, a subset of those applicants made it to the clinical interviews, but the clinical interviews are not used to determine whether you will get an invite to the visiting day. It seems that was up to the POI (unless there are some major red flags that are revealed in the clinical interview–which is probably rare). The clinical interview was also conducted to assess fit with the program, and it sounds like applicants had very different experiences for their secondary interviews (some unstructured, some very clinical oriented with many questions). Lastly, I have heard that in previous years some profs don't participate in the "visiting day", and I am not sure if this is still the case or where to find out that information regarding your prospective POI, or how that would change the timeline.

    Is this for your thesis or for other research going on in the lab? It is very common for MA/PhD students to be paid as a Graduate Research Assistant by their POI's to work on projects outside of their thesis/dissertation/comps, especially if the POI holds a grant/funding. I think it's perfectly acceptable to ask to speak with them about the possibility to be paid over the summer as a GA if it's non-thesis research. If this POI wants to get started on research pertaining to your thesis early, then that's a little different and I would suspect that would be up to you whether you want to begin your masters thesis work early without funding. I'm not assuming this is the case because I am not aware of all the details, but I would be weary of a POI who would expect me to work for free at a graduate level on research for a few months prior to starting my degree and having funding available. Just my opinion!

    I think McMaster's prelims were conducted throughout January and top selected applicants received an official interview offer via email on Sunday.
  20. UroboroS
    Thank you for the info. If anyone has been contacted by York for a prelim, could you pm if you're comfortable?
  21. UroboroS
    Hi, I'm sorry I don't know. You'll have to check out the individual program websites or contact the program coordinators at your schools of interest.
  22. UroboroS
    @VanessaB provided some great mentors to check out! I'll add, I'm not sure if you are an international student, but I would also inquire as to whether any of these programs are/will accept international students. Sometimes it is outlined on the program website and sometimes it isn't. Due to (I think covid?) many schools this year aren't considering international students. I wish this was more clear, because I think it's still possible to submit and pay for an application as an international student, even though they won't consider your application. Something to consider if you plan on applying in the fall! Good luck
  23. UroboroS
    Same for mine!
  24. UroboroS
    Which school is this for?
  25. UroboroS
    Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!
