this is very different from my experience. i interviewed with my POI and was told told about them shortlisting applicants after meeting on feb 1. i was then told that id have to wait for an email from someone to see whether i got accepted or not, other than that, i havent heard from my POI at all and have not talked to other profs/grad students. do u guys think i should should email some of her current grad students? just a bit confused after hearing this as ti wasnt my experience at all

1) i really dont think its a huge error but i think if its included they just appreciate it bc its less work for them, just my opinion tho and im sure i could be wrong! 2) definitely apply! i think its better to apply and see what happens than ponder on the "what-ifs". i think fit is probably more important but who knows, maybe u can email them about ur interest (even if its "late") and they wanna chat w u, or look forward to ur application, you never know!

yeah honestly i know with COVID a lot of people were saying how it might be better to invest in education rn more than ever instead of working so it doesnt shock me that there's even more competition than usual. just makes me scared bc i already feel like my application isnt that good and then seeing that much competition just makes me so nervous! i applied to 12 schools in total (canada/usa mixed) and now im just preparing myself for 12 rejection letters

i think its better to apply as soon as you can, that way if u do get the chance to interview, you can talk about how you applied for OGS back in december. thats kind of the mindset im going in w as well! im applying to a lot of the grants at the schools im applying to so they can see that and i can talk about it in interviews, if im given the chance!

hi guys! so i know that OGS is usually done through the schools youre applying to but for the CIHR, i watched this video from ryerson explaining the process (in case anybody was needing some more information!) and went through the exact same steps they went through. my question is, once i submit my application to the CIHR, have i basically applied to the CIHR completely as in, is that the end of the process? additionally, can i still apply to more grants i see online like through the research portal website and such? i believe, from what i read, that you can only accept 1 grant so does that mean that im basically allowed to apply to a bunch of grants and then hope i get one? thanks!

hi everybody! im a dual citizen that's hoping to apply to a lot of MA programs in clincial psych within Ontario as well as some in the US. currently im in my 4th year so i hope to graduate in the upcoming winter or spring/summer term! i actually am finishing up my BA in psych at an american university however, i am quite limited when it comes to where i can move due to family concerns (im south asian so moving out is already a huge deal, especially in my family, so im only allowed to move so far. applying to different provinces or states is kind of out of the question). i have a list of schools that i want to apply to: ryerson, western, u windsor, waterloo, mcmaster, UTSC, york, u ottawa, guelph and a couple others within the US. i have some research experience but im scared that its not enough. i was in a lab for 6 months and then confirmed to be in a lab in the winter semester of my third year, which just so happened to be a month before COVID happened. that position couldnt be switched virtually and therefore, i had to look for other labs. right now im in a lab for psych and doing lab work w 2 other professors finding literature reviews, annotating, etc. additionally, i dont really have work experience and my campus involvement is in 3 clubs. i dont have any publications although i might be able to this year but in the field of my minor (which is not psych) and i also havent spoken at conferences or done presentations. my gpa is a 3.78/4.0 (3.71 for just my major). additionally, my school doesnt make us write a thesis unless youre an honours student, which i am not, so i dont have a thesis but i do have research interests. so after giving all the details i have a couple of questions. i understand that if u do an MA youre expected to finish ur PhD usually from the same school and additionally, accreditation is v important and kids usually apply for grants to help pay tuition. im kind of just nervous because i know it's extremely competitive so i guess any advice would be great or being able to chat with someone who are in these schools graduate programs, just so i can ask some basic questions would be nice. im specifically interested in pediatric psych and would love to one day work in a hospital or clinic alongside doctors and nurses to help a patient with trauma/fear/PTSD. additionally, im really interested in looking at interventions for children, especially those of colour, and how interventions to make trauma or PTSD manageable for both the child but how parents, especially from minority groups, who think mental health is taboo (and might not know how to help their child/could make it worse), can be helped. i guess my question is do i have a chance? is it really worth it to apply to like 15 schools (mostly MA, american ones are almost all PhD)? all of these schools have faculty that have either worked with children or have done research on PTSD/trauma so my hope is that under advisors from these schools, i can take this knowledge and research it myself and then, apply it to my skills as a practitioner. i hope this makes sense (sorry if its overflowing with rambled sentences and all over the place im quite stressed). if you go to these schools i would love to be able to chat with you about your experience and your application process, etc. id also just love to get a better feel of whether im doing this correctly and whether my credentials make me an applicant theyd even consider.
