    I finally got rejected by McMaster! It only took like forever. I wish there was a way to ask for my application fee back :))

    McMaster application process was trash this year, and this is coming from someone with an affinity for Mac. The amount of frustration that came with every "your submission is under review" email is hard to verbalize, haha :P

    This is sort of random, but has McMaster always waited so long just to send rejections? I woke up to another "file under review" email from them, and was confused for a moment, like "what month is this?" :)) I get it, I didn't interview, many competitive applicants, just send the rejection already. Enough with the automated emails.

    It's now a running joke between my friends and I that we keep getting slapped in the face with these automated emails, haha. Even past April 15th! And I say this as someone who both worked at and attended Mac in the PNB department. It's mildly aggravating and I wish they would just get it together and send rejections. I'm still waiting on any kind of word from 4/6 schools, which I'm pretty sure did not happen last year. My reaction every time I get these is essentially an upside-down smiley face. Wishing you luck in getting your rejection, as awful as that sounds! We need closure, haha.

    Does anyone know how the waitlist works if I haven’t heard back by now? I was told by both PIs that I would know by April 15th - I even followed up recently and one PI said they would have told him if everyone had accepted, and he would have let me know. Do they usually just not get back to you until later, and if it’s past April 15th, you just assume rejection? 
    I haven’t been hopeful and have been assuming rejection anyway, but now I’m just curious. Thanks!

    The two adjudication processes are separate and governed by different committees. Your scholarship ranking or even getting the scholarship is unlikely to affect your chances of getting in.
    You could get the scholarship and be rejected from the program in which case you would have to decline the scholarship.
    That said, it is not completely unheard of for a supervisor to push for a student's acceptance if they received CGS-M - this information is from me speaking with clinical students directly at various universities including but not limited to OISE, Ryerson, Queen's, Windsor, and YorkU.

    Thank you so much, that's very helpful! I was curious because the email I received was from the supervisor I applied to. Well, good to know that at least my scholarship application was acceptable, even if I don't get in. It's the little things :P

    Received my rejection from Ottawa today. Also got an email from Ryerson inviting me to a virtual information session "After applying to Grad school, whats next?". Not sure if thats their way of telling me I didn't get in but I'm going to assume I was rejected. 

    Haha, I also got the Ryerson email. Am assuming rejection as well.

    congrats!!! If you aren't familiar with the school or the area, I'm happy to share info. I completed my undergrad at Mac and I'm familiar with some of the admitting faculty. That invitation is open to anyone else who got accepted as well!

    Oh me too actually! Maybe we know each other :P Happy to also give any info you might want on some RCT faculty.

    Does anyone have experience with UTSC interviews (or other school interview processes that are a bit intense)? I've only ever interviewed formally with one school and it was pretty relaxed, but I had to take two full days off work for UTSC, for 7 interviews over 2 days. Needless to say I'm a bit terrified and very much nervous over what they usually ask, especially when you're interviewing with staff you did not apply to. If anyone has any advice on interview processes I would be super grateful! Thank you all :)

    Hi Everyone,

    I have some questions about formal interviews and rejection deadlines for the following schools. Queens, UBC okanagan campus, UTSC and Western for clinical psych. Has anyone heard from these schools either a interview or rejection? Most of my applications statuses just say submitted, so im not sure when a change will happen. Any info would be super helpful!

    Hello! I have an interview with UTSC on Monday/Tuesday. Have not heard from UBCO, and didn't apply to the rest. Good luck!

    School: York University

    Type: Clinical-Developmental Psychology MA/PhD

    Acceptance/Waitlist/Rejection: Acceptance

    Type of Notification: Official Email

    Date Notified: 2/04/2022

    This is my fourth cycle and it still doesn't feel real! I cannot believe it, truly. I had given up last year but thought I would try once more. If anyone has any questions, don't hesitate to reach out. This is your reminder that the path may not be linear, might take longer than you anticipated, but if this is really your route then continue working towards it! 

    Congrats!!!! I'm on my third cycle, it can get really frustrating. I'm so glad you managed to get in :)

    I agree, it gets kind of annoying. It appears to be an automated feature - as in you get an email periodically until they make a final decision on your application. It's kind of the same if you ask most grad admins, where they can't really tell you anything until the department has a decision for your application, even if other people already are interviewing. We do need to provide feedback to programs and push them in the direction of more transparency, because this is getting ridiculous. 

    Yeah, and I get the automated nature of it makes it easier for them to do their jobs. Not receiving these updates from any other schools though, which is interesting. I think I did last year. Oh well!

    Hey everyone,

    Has anyone been interviewed at SFU and heard anything back? 

    SFU is one of my top picks! 

     

    Thank you !

    Hi there! I interviewed at SFU, and my last interview was on Monday. I was told we would hear back around next week, but I don't know how accurate that is. What track did you apply to if you don't mind me asking?
