Has anyone here applied to Global Minds? Also, if anyone has done an interview (regardless of which program) do you have any tips/advice? Thanks

Congratulations on getting admitted!! ? That is an amazing accomplishment and so exciting!! If possible, can I DM you with some questions?

Congratulations, that is so exciting!! ❤️?

Mine also says decision pending! And no interview either

Also wondering the same thing!

I 100% agree with this! There's so much uncertainty otherwise ugh, I just want closure lol

Thank you so much for this information!?

Has anyone heard from York's clinical program regarding interviews?

I feel EXACTLY the same way- honestly it feels like a lottery system sometimes! The stats are definitely discouraging, it really sucks

Hi everyone, I know this is a forum for Canadian programs and this is perhaps off topic but I was wondering if anyone had experience applying to clinical psych programs abroad? It's just something I've been considering for a while! I wish everyone luck this cycle!!

Is anyone else applying to York?

It's no problem at all, happy to help

Hi there! This is a good question and also something I asked my mentor about- I didn't have withdrawals but did have weak grades early on in my undergrad. I am also sorry to hear about your losses, that sounds very difficult. My mentor told me there are multiple ways to argue that you will be successful in grad school (i.e. that your psychology gpa in particular is high, that your grades have consistently increased and you showed resilience, or in your case, you can specifically explain your situation and what impeded your academic performance). My mentor also said that the academic consideration section should not take up more than a few sentences in the SOP (but also depends on the word count of course). Also, as you said, those grades were for non psych related courses (and it is only two?), so I don't think grad schools would focus in on that too much; they would surely be more concerned about your grades in upper year psych courses! I hope this helped a bit and I wish you all the best for this application cycle!

Hiii I think the deadline may depend on the university? I checked for Brock University for example and they say to get it in by Jan 15th, 2022, and for Laurier it says to get it in by Jan 31st, 2022!

I was wondering the same! Hopefully it won't be too rough
