I know this isn't a clinical program but just wondering if anyone had applied to Saint Mary's MSc in Applied Psychology (specifically the forensic psychology stream)? If so, has anyone heard back yet?
I interviewed with my POI first week of Feb for forensics stream I believe supervisors have somewhat different timelines of when they do interviews but my POI told me the department was meeting the second week in Feb and official offers will go out end of Feb/ early march

Does anyone have any insight on what next year's application cycle will look like? Less competitive? More competitive? Do you think the GRE is gone for good at most schools?
I know Ryerson said on visiting day that they are for sure not requiring the GRE anymore I imagine some other schools will do the same

Hi! Im wondering if anyone knows if potential supervisors can see our OGS proposals? I just got notified yesterday about applying to OGS by Monday for Ryerson and was planning on using the same proposal I used for my SSHRC but it doesn't really match my POIs work Im wondering if that's ok? Its in the same general area still just not directly related but im not sure id be able to make a strong new proposal in two days. If anyone has any insights its appreciated

Congrats! Is this visiting day an interview day?
If I had two conflicting interview spots, I would inform the site that offered later that I already have an interview booked at that time (but am delighted, very interested blah blah) and see if there's another time. Or maybe you attend part of it? Haha, what are the chances?!Yeah right ? I think ive got it sorted now luckily I was able to rearrange a bit! Thank you!

Interview
School: Ryerson
Program: Clinical MA &PhD
Date of invite: Feb 2nd, 2021
Date of interview: Visiting Day Feb 8th
DM for POI: Yes
I'm really surprised I haven't had any contact from my POI this whole season I just got an invite from the department for visiting day! Has this happened to anyone else not having contact with their POI then getting an invite to to interview day? Should I reach out and send a separate email to my POI saying thanks?
Also the visiting day time is the same time as one my interviews at another school and im not really sure what to do ?

Hey guys! I just got an invite to interview for UPEI's Psyd program and was wondering if anyone on here goes there/ has interviewed and could dm me? The invite says "you should expect to be asked to demonstrate key competencies that are central to the discipline of clinical psychology, including responding to a short clinical vignette, and to scenarios about quantitative research, qualitative research, and diversity." If anyone has any insight on how to prepare for this id really appreciate it! I'm not sure what id be asked for responding to research scenarios?
Thanks!

Its not a clinical program but wondering if anyone else applied to St Marys Applied psych Msc program? If so have you heard anything yet?
-
If anyone else is applying to UPEI can you PM me ? Just wanting to see how others are interpreting some of the essay questions if anyone else is applying there

Hey all,
Haven't posted on here in months because I realized I needed time to figure out what I want to do with my life.
Quick question - is the PEI PsyD considered one of those predatory degrees that's just a money grab? It's not accredited, and it seems that the only thing they look at is GPA and GRE (but GRE not required this year)...I started clicking through the application to see if there was space for me to talk about ECs and research, but nope, I couldn't see anything.
I might've asked about this program before, apologies about that - I didn't want to scroll through the 40 pages of this thread to find it. But yeah does anyone have any knowledge on this?Hey so im applying here and they are seeking accreditation as it is a new program. If the schools gets accredited before you graduate then you are considered as having attended an accredited program from what I have heard from students who did the same at other programs. Also for the other comment on here about requirements they do consider more than just grades and GRE scores. You need 3 reference letters and they also have 3 essay questions of 500 words each in addition to a general statement of interest talking about your work and school experiences and a CV. All your materials have to be in by Jan 15th including references.

Is anyone else not finding the RCT program at Mcmaster in the application portal? I am looking to apply for the research & clinical stream at Mcmaster (entry at the master's level). It doesn't give me the option to select the program though. Is anyone else having this same difficulty? Please let me know.
There isnt a separate selection for it for Msc just select the Neuroscience and behaviour and specify in your letter of intent you are applying to RCT. Im pretty sure theres a box you select within the application too that asks you if you are applying for RCT on one of the later pages.

So my transcripts do not come with a grading legend, should I use the one I found off the universities website? Or do I not need one if the transcripts show my grade as both a percentage and as a grade point?
I would add the legend from your universities website to your transcripts still. Most schools ive applied to specify to have one so better to be safe and have it.

For CGS-M, do we submit our proposal and our references/bibliography in the same document? and upload to the "outline of proposed research" section? If not, where do we upload our references?
Yes references on your proposal document!

Curious about how you guys have structured your statements:
Are you structuring your statements 1) in terms of skills you have for the program or 2) discussing things in chronological order?
For example
1) Research paragraph, academics paragraph, clinical paragraph
2) First did research in this lab and then in this lab, then I did clinical while I did this...xyz
I did mine the first way you said, all my research experiences first and talked about them in chronological order and then did my clinical experiences and then my future goals and current research interests.

Does anyone know anything about the PsyD programs at University of Prince Edward Island or Adler University? I'm considering applying but there both not accredited so was wondering if anyone had any experience/ extra info. Thanks

Thank you! Will do. Is it common the portal experiences issues when there is only 1 week left to submit?
I was planning to submit all documents by Nov 22nd.
Last year I literally submitted my CGS like an hour before the deadline haha so It should be fine but always better to be cautious in submitting earlier

I have a general question for how to frame SOPs: I am applying to MSc/MA clinical programs, but of course these programs are designed to be continuous (not terminal masters). My question is, should I be framing my SOP as what I aim to accomplish in my MA/MSc or in my entire PhD? I don't want to make it sound like I'm being shortsighted by only thinking of the next 2 years, but I also don't want it to seem like I'm applying to the PhD program...
I do both in mine I mention what I hope to accomplish in my masters and then my long term goals which include completing the Phd program, becoming a registered psychologist within the province, and career goals. It kinda is like applying to the phd program along with the masters in way because majority of programs only take students who will be continuing into the phd program. Thats how I see it anyway

I actually also have a question pertaining to this: If there is only one (or at most, 2) supervisors I want to work with at a given school, am I meant to add another name I really have no interest in working with? In other words-- when they say "list up to 2" or "list up to 3" do they really mean, "we want to see 2-3 names here"? Is it a bad call to be truthful and only put the one PI? Would love people's thoughts on this as well.
I dont think so I have a few schools where im only listing one potential supervisor cause no other research areas match what I want to do. They want you to have a strong supervisor match so if you aren’t interested in people’s work I dont see a point or advantage to listing them.

Hey! I was definitely confused about this too. I spoke to a graduate student and from my understanding, if you select the English stream, then you still must fulfill some second language requirement throughout your degree. I believe this could be fulfilled by taking a French language course (or there are other options as well).
Thank you!! That’s helpful.

Hii, does anyone know anything about University of Ottawa's program second language requirements? The website makes it sound like all students must meet the second language requirement in order to graduate but I heard someone else say that if you select the English only steam then you dont need too. I have tried to email the department but they are on strike right now if any goes there currently or knows anything then please let me know

Has anyone heard updates on Ottawa U? I'm surprised they still haven't posted a list of potential faculty.
Ps. Good luck everyone ❤️ This is my third time applying, and I'm feeling very positive about this round!
Ive been checking Ottawa constantly as well ! Last year they posted the list start of September I guess theres more uncertainty for next year hopefully its up soon.

Has anyone heard back from POIs at McMaster? The only responses I've gotten are to tell me they're not accepting
It sounds like there's a lot up in the air at McMaster this application season.
I got an email back from my poi there it was literally one sentence saying she will be taking a student though.

Hi everyone!
This will be my second year applying to grad schools and I have a few questions for those of who you've had experience reapplying to schools. Last year I applied to SCCP at OISE and intend to do so again, along with some other non-clinical Master's programs.
1. Is it okay to use the same SOI again? I did reach the interview stage last year, so I think my statement was strong. I will obviously update it to reflect what I have acheived/done over the past year, but I'm wondering if it's okay to leave things like my opening story/hook and closing paragraphs the same? Or do applications committees frown upon that?
2. If I were to apply to the same supervisors again (OISE still hasn't posted who's accepting for 2021), how do you approach it? I feel like it would be a bit awkward to speak with the same people again after not being accepted.
3. Regarding professional reference letters, last year I used a volunteer supervisor as a referee. However, I haven't volunteered since the pandemic hit in March so it may be difficult to track down referees as places have shut down, people may have left etc. Does anyone know if grad schools will be lenient with letters?
This is just my opinion but committees see ton of applications I doubt they will remember if you use the same SOI unless they specifically look back but even if they do I think its totally fine to just edit it because its understandable that you still have the same goals and interests. Same with POIs I doubt they will remember emails and things from last year because they look at so many. Unless you had a strong connection with a potential supervisor and actually spoke to them or did an interview with them Id just mention briefly to remind them that youve previously spoken to jog their memory. I don't think its awkward most people don't get in first try and supervisors know that if anything it shows that your dedicated and really interested in their program to be applying to them again. As for letters just check websites or email programs but I haven't seen any that have said they are waiving letters at all but you can always email and explain your situation and ask.
