    This is super handy!! Thanks so much, I did that for my SSHRC proposal the first time I applied too but I never considered it for my SOI as well

    Thank you! I know it's grammatically correct to spell out all acronyms the first time, but it just seems so unlikely that people in psychology would not know what the WAIS and MMPI are.

    I have an SOI question. I want to discuss my practical experience, which includes my background in assessment. I want to provide examples of some particularly well-known tests that I know how to administer, particularly the MMPI and WAIS. Because the full names of them are so long, when I type them out they look so clunky and take up so much room. Do y'all think it would be safe to assume the people reading my statement would know what those tests are as they're quite well-recognized amongst clinicians? I know the answer is to not assume this but I'm just wondering for the sake of keeping things brief if that would be okay.

    Anyone know what the competition will be like compared to last year's? This thread is sorta dead compared to how last year's was at this time of year, so I'm wondering if that's at all a reflection...

    Thank you!<3 humour and looking on the bright side is how I cope with disappointment haha. And thank you, my SOI last year that allowed 3 pages was my strongest one and I got an interview from it, and it's because I had more freedom to to kind of "inject myself" into it with the way I phrased certain things, transitioned to other topics, etc. Not that I was making it really fluffy and unprofessional, but I just mean that it flowed a lot nicer and truly told the story of me, if that makes sense, as opposed to me just briefly stating things and providing shallow explanations/merely restating what's on my CV in a fancy way. Thanks so much for this!

    What's good everyone!! After being rejected by all 6 programs I applied to last year, your girl is ready to give it another go this year! I have a question about SOI's. If there were no specific requirements for the SOI aside from length, did/would you guys use single-spaced type? On all my SOI's I used 1.5 and in hindsight, if single-spacing or 1.15 spacing is okay, I sure wasted a lot of space that I could have used to make my SOI's much stronger!

    Did anyone get off the alternate list today?
  8. carlrogersfan98
    What specifically are you looking to research? I volunteered with a lab at my university in first year that did longitudinal research on the impacts of things like SES, cultural adjustment, parental involvement, etc on child internalizing and externalizing problems, and I believe there's more in our Ed Psych department in similar areas! You can PM me if interested though I don't know if they're doing remote research opportunities, it's still worth asking!

    You also got to consider that, just like grad programs themselves, CGSM also received an unprecedented amount of applications this year. Your proposal may have been still very good - it was just the pool you applied to. Plus, CGSM looks at you holistically (GPA, past research experience, even community service!), so that's something to look at too. Overall, it could never hurt to try and make your proposal stronger, but it could have been so many other things too so try not to beat yourself up over the quality of your proposal.

    Sweet, well I will keep checking if I eventually get the SSHRC because then that way I can put it on my CV! I've been talking to some profs and they said it's usually not really a thing to put "alternate" awards on CV's, only if you've actually been offered the award and then declined it. Also, question for everyone: even if I eventually get the SSHRC, how late is too late to inquire about possibly being squeezed into the program? Even if it comes over the summer or so, should I still email and ask? Obviously I'm not holding out hope and am currently just looking for jobs instead but if there would still be a chance I definitely want to take it lol.
  11. carlrogersfan98
    Not about CGSM but yes about Ryerson. Haven't heard a thing since the deadline. 100000% know it's gonna be a rejection though.
  12. carlrogersfan98
    I think this would be more equivalent to the conference award situation than the program though, because CGSM is an award! So maybe it would be acceptable, especially early on in your research career they always say the rich get richer, so perhaps mentioning you were on an alternate list for CGSM would make you more favourable for future CGSMs in the future
  13. carlrogersfan98
    Literally my exact thoughts. I'm super thrilled because so far it's been nothing but rejections, "no's", and bad news, so I am absolutely over the moon that one school at least waitlisted me for SSHRC and thought my proposal was strong LOL. I'm gonna celebrate this, even though everyone I've told so far has been like "you're waitlisted? congrats I guess?" hahahahaha
  14. carlrogersfan98
    Sorry to spam the forum but do you guys think an alternate offer is something we could list on our CV's? Because the school technically considered the application CGSM-worthy, it just fell below the allocation cutoff? Like they could have just outright declined the proposal instead but they didn't. Or is that reaching? Lol
  15. carlrogersfan98
    I don't know the answer but I just wanted to say hahaha your username checks out! Always gotta be hopeful somehow :))
  16. carlrogersfan98
    Omg I got an "alternate" at Dalhousie for SSHRC! Wasn't expecting any results at all so that's pretty neat! :))
  17. carlrogersfan98
    Disclaimer: I am like 95% sure about all this, if someone sees this and I am wrong with something please correct me ASAP lol To my understanding, the people who award CGSM's and the people who evaluate grad school applications are separate and don't influence each other. The CGSM people give awards solely based on what is included in each application, regardless of whether or not that person was accepted to the school. So it is entirely possible students don't get in to the program yet still get offered the award; however, if the student is unable to attend the program, they obviously cannot accept the award because you need to be enrolled the graduate program that awarded the money to take it. Apparently, there have been many instances where a student would get a CGSM at a school after not getting in and then being squeezed in after the fact if they got CGSM. I'm presuming this is because programs have such a limited amount of spots because there's only so much funding they can give, so if a student is coming in with their own funding, then that relieves the pressure of the department to find funding for that student - so if the student is otherwise a very strong applicant, they may be let in. IMO it's so weird that grad school decisions are made before the CGSM results are out, I feel like it would save everyone so much time if decisions were made after CGSM results are released. That way, whether or not the student actually has funding would be factored into the decision, and grad schools wouldn't have to deal with rejected students who have nonetheless gotten CGSM contacting them to inquire about being squeezed in to the program after the fact.

    I'm assuming that's the date you can first begin viewing awards. One of the schools I listed still hasn't posted results so my guess is that results for some schools might come in after April 1 depending on how backlogged they are.
  19. carlrogersfan98
    Welp, I was indifferent about CGS-M given that I didn't get in anywhere but now I have an ever-so-small glimmer of hope ?
  20. carlrogersfan98
    Yes, it does look like that for me, interestingly enough only for one of the three schools I listed! I mean, I didn't get into any of them, so it doesn't really matter ? would still be neat to see the results though Edit: oh okay I just got another notification so I guess the schools just upload results at their own paces. I guess this also means some results may not be available right away on the 1st depending on if the school posted the results yet or not.
  21. carlrogersfan98
    I just got that email a few moments ago and my status still is the date I submitted the application. But I don't think it was deemed ineligible because it would have said that too... this is so odd haha
  22. carlrogersfan98
    I believe you can still technically win a CGS-M even if you were rejected from that school. Program admissions and CGS-M awards are decided independently. I've heard of cases where people got a CGS-M for a school they were not admitted in to!
  23. carlrogersfan98
    So I am thinking about cold-emailing profs for research opportunities for this upcoming year and I am wanting to check in with one, however they mentioned to me earlier when I was inquiring about graduate student supervision that they will be on sabbatical in 2021. Is it worth maybe just briefly following up anyways to see if they might have something, or know of someone who does? Again, this is just for RA work/volunteering, not for graduate student supervision in 2021.
  24. carlrogersfan98
    HAHAHA good to know, I def won't be waking up at 6 then ? I usually check my email every day at around 8 AM MDT so I was wondering if they'd be posted by then.
  25. carlrogersfan98
    Was just about to come here to ask - anyone know if they're released at a specific time on April 1? Like midnight EDT or something? Lol it's not that important I was just wondering if I shouldn't be surprised if I check that morning and they're not posted.
