Thank you so much! I'm feeling really anxious, because UBC is my top choice, so I really hope to hear back this month. Were you accepted to the clinical program?

Hey everyone! I have seen someone being accepted for UBC. Does anybody here know if clinical psychology candidates were interviewed on the same day as other psych applicants (feb. 4-5)? I'm applying to the developmental psychology program, but I want to see if there's a chance they'll start sending decisions to everyone soon!

Has anyone heard from the University of British Columbia (UBC) after interviews?

It makes a lot of sense! Thank you so much. This specific supervisor may select more than one applicant to join his lab, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for good news. He's my first choice among all the programs I've applied to, so it would be really amazing to move forward to recruitment. I'll be sure to keep my A game in every single step, for sure!

Hello, everyone! I'm applying to the University of British Columbia and got two informal interviews with potential supervisors. One of them said he'll be selecting 1 or 2 applicants to move forward to the recruitment weekend. My question is: what happens then? If you're the only student picked by a supervisor, can UBC reject you? Because then the supervisor wouldn't get any new students. If so, how commom is that? Basically, I'd like to know if being selected to the formal interviews is almost the same as being accepted to the program (considering that everything goes well during the interviews, of course) Thank you!

Hello there! I'll be applying for Canadian MA programs in psychology and would like some advice about my real chances of getting in. I can't really tell how competitive my profile can be, specially as an international applicant. I'll apply for cognitive psychology or neuropsychology programs and my current status is as follows: Degrees: Bachelor degree in Psychology from one of the top programs at my country (Brazil) Biotechnology technical certificate Cumulative average from the Bachelor program: 8.7/10 (9/10 if considering only the last two years, as some grad programs usually do) Experience: 3 years as a clinical psychology intern (Neuropsychology) - Had experience at a social clinic, at schools and at a psychiatric institute. My experience is mostly focused on child and youth; 1 year as paid undergrad RA on a neuropsychology research; 1 year (current placement) as a volunteer RA on a developmental psychology research on fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, being part of the neuropsychology team on the research. Assisted this research from the beginning; 1 year as a volunteer TA on subject called "Assessment, Methods and Techniques in Psychology"; 1 year (current placement) as a TA on a neuropsychology assessment graduate program. Was chosen as TA and awarded with a full scholarship for the program; Also had extensive experience (5 years) at laboratories as a biotechology technician. I'm currently working on a reference analysis center for Covid-19 in Brazil, one of the most affected countries in the world. Wrote an honours thesis called "The Use of Working Memory Cognitive Training in Children with ADHD" and got 10/10 for it. As it's written in portuguese, I'm on the process of translating it to english to try and publish it eventually. I haven't published anything yet, but had 3 academical presentations related to the neuropsychology researches I participated. I also attended 10 meetings and conferences related to this field, worked as a monitor for 2 of them (one being international). Haven't taken my IELTS and GRE exams yet (they're already scheduled), but considering official GRE practice tests I took, my quant will probably be around 162 and language around 156. I'll apply for the Universities of Toronto, Guelph, Manitoba and UBC. UBC would be my first choice. If any admitted student could help with some thoughts about my profile, it would be great!

Hello, everyone. I'll be applying for psychology MA programs in Canada to start in the fall term 2021. My application is mostly ready, but I have some concerns related to my LORs. I have 3 years of clinical internship experience and 2 years of research experience as a undergrad RA. Both experiences were under the same professor's supervision. Would it be acceptable for me to get a LOR from the PhD student whose research I assisted? Most programs I'll be applying for ask for 3 LORs, but I don't have any other professors who I've been close enough to ask for recommendations. As I'm also a biotechnology technician and I have worked on laboratories for years would it be fine to get a recommendation from a professional supervisor? I'm working on a covid-19 analysis center, so perhaps it would be a good addition for my letters. I really don't know the best approach on this matter and I need to decide it soon, as the letters need to start being written as soon as possible. Any help would be appreciated!
