Hi friends! I applied to a few schools this year and I was rejected from one, on the waitlist for another, and have an interview next week for the final program. I have two questions...
1. Does anyone know what a grad school waitlist looks like? I emailed my POI to ask about my position on the list but they did not know. From my perspective, unless I am first or second on the list, there is no chance of getting in. Alternatively, I don't know that they would keep a waitlist much longer for graduate school because, based on program stats, it doesn't seem like they offer much more than 1 or 2 alternate offers anyway. What are your thoughts (for reference, this is for UNB - a relatively small school).
2. I have an interview for a PsyD program at UPEI. They indicate directly in the email that we should be prepared for clinical vignettes as well as both quantitative and qualitative research problems. Has anyone else ever encountered this before? I noticed someone else had this question but I do not see any answers. While I consider myself quite a seasoned researcher, I still think I would have difficulty, especially under pressure, designing a whole study in an area I am not familiar with. Similarly, since I have not been in a clinical program as of yet (obviously), my responses to a clinical vignette are likely not going to be stellar? What are your thoughts/advice?
Thanks!!
