What if we get instant updates on our phone? Hehe.

I think it's happened.. I've finally snapped. I'm going to go check myself into a psychiatric hospital.....

You're not alone! I have a panic attack every time I receive a new email.

Congrats! What program?

I've applied to UofT, SFU, UBC, and McGill, haven't heard anything from any of them so far. Today I'm starting to get really nervous :/

This post is a good example of some of the pretentiousness that you will encounter in graduate school. Learning to ignore these people will help you tons.

Just thought I'd start a new thread for Canadian applicants since we will probably be waiting quite a bit longer than those who applied to American schools. Anyone heard back from any schools yet? I think some of the clinical invites have gone out because some schools' interview weeks are soon, but I haven't heard anyone get anything from social, developmental, or other areas.

Good luck! Can I ask who you applied to work with at SFU?

I'm sure in their defense they're busy... but in our defense we're being driven to madness!! I just called the secretary again from the above^ mentioned school. I figured she doesn't know who I am so I started asking her why she keeps telling me to call back when the deadline is Sunday and she told me not to worry about the deadline and it's not a big deal and to call back next week........ ..........................

Good luck! So there's no one else on here in developmental? That's surprising!

Hi all, I'm fairly new here but I've been trolling the boards for a while.... I'm just wondering what other people's experiences have been with following up on their applications and talking to the grad secretaries? I'm feeling frustrated because one of the schools that I applied to expects you to call them to make sure that all of your documents are in - I was told in November by the secretary to call in mid-December to check my application, so I called, and I was told again to call the second week of January, so I called again - then I was told to call next week again... so I'm planning to call again, BUT, the deadline for all materials to be in is this Friday so if everything is not in then I'll be screwed even if I call next week..... So now I'm sort of having a mini freak-out. So what have been other people's experiences with following up on their applications/checking their documents? What do you all think is the appropriate amount of time to wait before you contact the school to ask what's going on with your application? This waiting process is driving me crazy.

Is anyone else applying to developmental psych programs this year? If so, what schools? I've applied only to Canadian schools: UofT, SFU, UBC, and McGill. I'm getting a little nervous because I know Canadian schools are notorious for being slow - I'm hoping I don't have to wait until June to find out.
