Can you send me the link where you see this info? For the UTSC interview dates, they are posted on their site (see link). Whether they will hold to these dates, I am not 100% sure. https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/psych/admissions Who told you those were the dates? If you don't mind me asking

Projected interview dates on their site are next Mon-Wed and someone here mentioned that all invites to said interviews had been sent out last week. I am not sure what's what but the uncertainty is eroding away at my morale! You're not alone! mindfullyneurotic 1

Adult or child? And for York? Clinical-developmental or just clinical? Best of luck with the interviews!

nerdy_metalhead Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Hi all! I just finally decided to join. You all seem wonderfully supportive! I am sitting here, nervously awaiting interviews. I only applied to UTSC this year (my first time), and seems like they are either not sticking to their interview dates, or perhaps I am not moving forward. Application still shows under review. Let me know if anyone hears back from UTSC. Seems like only one person here received interview invite. mindfullyneurotic and statsguy69 2

Do you think our POIs would at least let us know if we do/don’t get invited? I haven’t heard back at all from mine and our interview was last week... wondering if I should follow up. Hey, do you know if everyone gets interviewed before getting accepted to Ryerson? Edited January 25, 2019 by Mickey_

We've already established on this thread that no, you don't just get accepted without some kind of interview. The exception being if you already work for the POI. Edit: I believe Ryerson had to have profs ranked shortlisted applicants sent to the FGS by last Friday. Sorry Edited January 25, 2019 by Mickey26

When I interview last week my POI said that the process moving forward would be that she would now submit her top two people to the committee and they ultimately will make the final decision based on optics of applicants and how their GPA, funding acceptances, publications, and GREs reflect on the program. She also does not participate in interview day so she told me to expect not to be invited! Hopefully that helps! Mickey26 1
Psych_101 Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Side note of hope: I am a Grad Practicum Coordinator and I am receiving a TON of emails from a variety of POIs from different universities as GTA Practicum Applications close February 1st! SOOO - maybe that is why they are behind, writing a bunch of reference letters

Sorry There are some exceptions to this in School & Clinical Psych programs... but for the most part you will definitely hear from someone beforehand, even in the majority of SCCP programs.

Sorry I would say that you get interviewed no matter what in most places. I applied to my current supervisor and she made me go through the interview process and actually asked me the same question she would ask any other candidate to keep it standardized and unbiased. But yes in this case, I believe that all preliminary interviews @ Ryerson have been conducted and offers to the open house have been made @Mickey_. Sorry about that! Don't lose hope - other places are still handing out interviews Mickey26 1

Like the PI has absolutely no say in who gets an official offer...?
