    I thought the same. Accepted the offer to the clinical program just now
  2. broski
    April 15th is in a few days and I'm in a pickle. Got into 2 MA (but basically direct PhD entry) programs, one is clinical, the other is counselling. Both have major cons like poor location (clinical program), low funding (clinical & counselling programs), poor internship match + career uncertainty (counselling program), or hands-off supervisor (counselling program). Right now I'm leaning towards the clinical program, which is still amazing in other respects and will lead me to my desired career. If I feel the pros > cons, I could attend another school for the PhD? But what does everyone think about rejecting both offers and reapplying for Fall 2022? A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush something something ? ?

    Got SSHRC CGS-M at UNB and McGill. I was rejected from the UNB program so declined the offer, hopefully that frees up space for alternates ?

    Re: Lakehead, most of us are still waiting for the official offer letters, which have been delayed by the cyberattack ? Might explain slow waitlist movement

    I guess it's what they don't say that matters... ? ? Online reviews and forums have been a mixed bag, some people said they had a good exp and found a job, some said you need to hustle to find practicum opportunities, some people said to run.

    Not personally interested in Yorkville or Adler, but I was wondering ... how is their training quality, employment rates post-grad, etc? My impression isn't that positive but I also lack knowledge about these programs

    Good Q. This is my first year applying. Differences between last year would be more research experiences, but these experiences were also of high quality. To me, this means: ability to be involved with multiple aspects of the research process, opportunity for research team collaboration, leading research project(s), research relates to grad school research interests, writing a manuscript to submit for publication, presenting a poster. I also developed more concrete/specific research interests (developed through these additional research experiences). I think a big factor in my interview offers and acceptance offer was research fit with POIs, and I think it was important that I had relevant past research experience in their areas of interest. It's important to email POIs and, if possible, meet online to discuss research fit. I also contacted POIs with whom I wasn't 100% sure we had research fit, but turns out we did! I only applied to schools where there was a high degree of POI research fit, so I actually took 2 schools off my list where research fit was there but wasn't as high. I have good fit with the program where I was accepted, meaning ideological fit (i.e., social justice orientation). I also gained considerable clinical experience in undergrad, 1 pub but not first author, several pubs in progress at time of app, lots of undergrad awards. Potential weaknesses were: My references didn't ask for me to send a doc summarizing my skills/accomplishments/interpersonal skills/weaknesses, or to have a discussion about reference letter content, but I would have liked to push for these kinds of meetings. I guess it worked out, but one school did say my references could have discussed my interpersonal skills more. Looking back, my personal statements also sound pretty dry lmao

    Yup, application requires you to name POI(s) + your research interests for project stream.

    Just got email from Lakehead POI and was accepted with funding!! I didn't apply to external funding as I discovered this POI after scholarship deadlines, so overall funding isn't that high for 1st year Masters. Would welcome any DMs and/or advice re: funding.

    I haven't heard anything yet, but on the Results page someone recently got an acceptance!
  11. broski
    For the person on the results page who got the acceptance from Concordia, could you DM who your POI was and/or what the rejection said? I haven't received anything yet

    Y'all are right I just googled the cyber attacks ?

    Is anyone else having trouble logging onto their Lakehead email?

    For anyone who applied to BK, I emailed him last year and he said he isn't taking new grad students ?

    Does anyone know / is anyone a current or past student of the McGill MA Counselling program (project)? Plz DM me I have a few Qs!

    Check out this thread about the Palo Alto psych program at Student Doctor Network. Seems like they have more insider info about the program, but thread is also a bit old. https://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/palo-alto-university-clinical-ph-d-program.899272/

    Following up on the counselling psychology discussion, my impression was that counselling and clinical PhD training can both result in a registered psychologist designation? And counselling MAs/PhDs do offer training in assessment, diagnosis, and evidence-based practice, at the least the MA program I applied to.

    Just got interview invite from McGill counselling MA (project stream). Another poster also got an interview earlier this week!

    I would call or email the psych department & Ryerson awards office to hash out the OGS award regulations!

    Canada server invite link: https://discord.gg/2M3yAHapvy Here's an invite for the US Discord server to get an idea of how the server could develop: https://discord.gg/JArZZech Invite your friends! Invite your supervisors! Invite your pets ?

    Would anyone be interested in joining a Discord sever or Slack group for Canadian applicants? I belong to groups for US applicants and I find the discussions are much more organized. For example you have different sections like 'Interview Invites', 'Resources', 'Emotional Support', etc. And you can ctrl+f in the entire chat to find what you're looking for. Discord would still maintain anonymity, though we could hold Zoom get-togethers or game nights if we wanted.
