Western's education faculty informed me that i'm on the wait list for a PhD in educational psychology. Does anyone know how much time the admission process could take? And how long a wait list can be?

Yes I applied to educational psychology in the department of education. Last week I called the department and they told me that the committee sits on Mach 7th, and that I will hear in the beginning of next week. Of course this is for education, but I recommend just calling your department. I was hesitant about calling thinking that they are probably get so many calls with questions they can't answer, but I ended up receiving really useful answers from all the universities I called (also Ryerson and Brock).

Hello everyone, Has anyone heard from Psychology programs in Brock (developmental) or Ryerson ( psychological science)? Also, did someone apply to Western's educational psychology? Waiting is definitely becomes harder and harder, for me it's especially because i'm an international student (well I hope to be), so I would really like to know if I will be leaving my country in a few moths! And on a more sentimental note- just reading through everybody's "freak-outs" really helps, since no one around me really know what I'm going through. Good luck to everyone!

Thanks for the answers. Unfortunately, I don't have time to retake the GRE. But understanding a little bit more about the criteria can help me decide to which schools I want to apply.

Hello everyone, I'm interested in applying for Phd programs in clinical/educational/developmental psychology, in Canada (Some of my choices are Mecgil, University of western ontario, Ottawa, British Columbia and more). A little bit of background on me: I'm an international student (well I hope to be), right now during my MA in educational psy in my country. I have good clinical and research experience (Will be presenting a paper in progress in an international conference in Europe this summer). My psychology GPA (from the BA) is 3.94 and the general GPA is 3.95. My GRE scores are 158 verbal (79%) 153 quant (65%) and 3.5 (29%) analytical writing. My question is whether the AW score is important or is it just a formality? I'm really disappointed with this score, wasn't expecting it. I know my qunt isn't that great either, but it's my weak spot, so I was expecting to do worse. Is it really low for Psychology or is it fine? I haven't taken the TOFEL yet, but I'm quite sure it will be high, I've done some practice tests and it's really easy. I will appreciate greatly any advice about the specific questions I asked and about my overall chances. Thanks!!!
