    I graduated from my undergrad in 2021, so this is my third application cycle (though I took last year off). My undergrad supervisor suggested I get more clinical research experience to improve my application. I live in a smaller town in BC, but I was able to find a job as a clinical research coordinator at a medical research company. I have now been here almost two years and have worked my way up to being site manager. For jobs, I would take a look at clinical research companies, both private and through provincial health. Some of my cohort opted to enter a 2-year diploma program to pass the time.

    Regarding coping, it took me a while to figure out what works for me. I am at a point now where I am at peace with the fact I may not get in to clinical psych, despite being more than qualified and passionate. I have researched other jobs I would be interested in and have created a plan on what I will do should I be rejected from all the programs I applied to this year. I also have kept myself busy by finding online courses and diplomas I can take. I am working on one in forensic psychology and completed my probation officer training, this has been super helpful as someone who loves learning! 

    I hope you hear from a program this year, but if not there are so many options out there and you may end up grateful taking some time off, I know I am!

    thanks so much for sharing, thats actually super helpful! would you mind if I dm you for further questions?

  2. for students who did not get in on their first round, after undergrad could you please share what were your next steps, how you coped or when you started looking for other research jobs etc. I am super nervous as I have nit got any interviews yet and am wondering when to start looking into backup plans or jobs to fill time until next cycle

    Many thanks!
