    New Brunswick usually starts contacting people for interviews in the first or second week of February, FYI!

    What are people's thoughts about wearing dark coloured (black) tights under a black dress/skirt for business formal interviews? I have nude coloured pantyhose, but I usually wear black, and I'm worried that this may be too much black with the blazer, dress, and heels.

    This is amazing! Thanks so much! I wonder if this will work with my A-line dress.

    I'm sitting not so patiently waiting for Saskatchewan....

    Yeah I did wonder about this, since I only spoke with my POI last Tuesday, and he said that he had a few other applicants to interview with for the rest of the week.

    Has anyone who applied to Ryerson gotten an invitation to the visiting day yet? It says that invitations would have gone out no later than January 15.

    Thanks! I never considered wearing a scarf. I may have to buy a short cardigan though....I tend to have more longer ones, and I think the only short one I have is a really bright pink! Should I go with the same basic pair of black heels for the social, or go for flats? I'm wearing these in the regular black, and find that they tend to transition between dressy, business, and casual well: http://www.payless.com/womens-karmen-pump/70962.html?dwvar_70962_color=blackpatent#start=8

    So I'm wearing this dress to my interviews paired with a matching blazer and heels (part of a suit set): http://www.sears.ca/en/dresses/canadas-best-a-line-dress-5421360_P.html?cgid=wh3_women_dresses&dwvar_5421360__P_color=black#sz=40&start=1&pageStart=193&pgSize=206&cgid=wh3_women_dresses I was thinking of dressing it down for the department socials so that I don't have to bring too much clothing with me. Does anyone have any ideas on how best to do this? I'm limited in terms of clothing right now so I'll likely have to buy something new.

    I'm having the same problem. You're lucky that a lot of them are even considering Skype interviews. Some of mine are either "show up or we won't consider you," so it's spend $1000 and 6+ hours of travel to get there after begging for the time off work for a few days....

    Thanks! I'm fortunate that all but 1 of the original 5 interviews I got invited for (not counting the 2 I got today) will do it over phone or Skype. I just wish the interviews were held on weekends, would be a lot easier for travel.

    That's the struggle I'm facing. I'm starting this new job on January 30....my first interview is the 3rd. I'm already taking 3 days off in my first 2 weeks to interview for PhD programs (which they don't know about) and I very much can't afford to take anymore off because this job is my fallback option if I get rejected from everywhere. I won't have this problem if I stayed in my current job since my boss was one of my references.

    It's a good problem to have, but I honestly can't handle the scheduling of all the interviews around my job. Almost all of them require travel to the US, and there's only so much I can do in a few week's period and only so much time I can take off. I'm so overwhelmed.

    I had this at the university where I did my Master's, although these classes were 1) taught by students who had already been awarded Master's degrees, and 2) were pretty much the experts in their teaching subject (e.g., the police psychology course was being taught by someone who conducted research in the area of police psychology and was just wrapping up her dissertation). It's unreal to me that they would let some just barely into a PhD program teach a course without having a separate graduate degree beforehand. Sounds like the faculty is just lazy in this case (this happened to me with an undergraduate course I was TAing for where me and the other TA basically became the defacto instructors because the prof rarely showed up or did much of anything).

    I'd like to know as well if you're willing to share the info!

    I've applied to 12 clinical/counselling programs.
  16. FacelessMage
    I'd like to know as well please!!

    Don't give up hope for Ryerson! The initial contact is largely dependent on POI. I think there still may be POIs who have yet to contact applicants.
  18. FacelessMage
    Good luck! Where else have you applied?
  19. FacelessMage
    It's a preliminary interview via Skype. From my understanding (via my friend at Ryerson), the POIs usually contact folks for a preliminary interview before the invitations to the interview day go out. Also, thanks! This is my fourth time applying, and I can't believe the amount of success that I've had!
  20. FacelessMage
    SFU does all their notifications through email. If you didn't get an invitation to interview, you'll likely get a rejection email within the next 2 weeks (this is my fourth time applying to SFU, so I know the drill).

    I feel like "ranking" clinical programs in Canada is pointless if they're accredited by the CPA. I think the rankings matter more in the US since there's a glut of non-accredited clinical PhD and PsyD programs. There's the basics such as funding, practicum opportunities, etc. that you need to consider when making a decision, but it's more important to consider the reputation of your individual POI, as they're the ones who will, largely, be writing reference letters for you, which will determine what internship opportunities you get (take it from me, the right POI can open doors for you in terms of research and clinical opportunities). What's most important is that you attend a program that will provide you with the necessary skills and experience to 1) get an accredited internship, and 2) meet the licensing requirements in your province. I have yet to hear of a Canadian program that fails to do this.

    For anyone applying to SFU, interview notifications have just been sent out.

    This has been my experience in past cycles. Some schools will often have one shortlist of maybe double the amount of spots, and perhaps a backup list in case they go through the first, but will drag on sending out rejections until all the spots are filled. Occasionally they'll send out multiple rounds of rejections, starting with those who don't meet the criteria. October is really ridiculous though. Someone really dropped the ball there considering the APA standard of April 15 for people to accept their offers.
  24. FacelessMage
    I'd wait things out. Traditionally, most Canadian schools don't contact applicants about interviews until the second or third week or January, depending on when their interviews are. With some schools, it's the individuals POIs who will be doing the contacting (I know Ryerson does this, along with Carleton), so even if someone else has heard something from the one school, it may be that that your POI is still in the process of contacting their applicants.

    I had that happen with me with South Florida last year. Saw 2 rounds of rejections go out with a month in between them before I was rejected in a third round a few weeks later.
