Normalizing rejection! It's nothing to be afraid of, and I encourage people to share their rejections as well as their acceptances and interviews here. Being turned down is part of the process, but you gotta dust yourself off and try again. I agree! This is my second round applying. I was rejected last year all around. It's all a learning process and most, if not all of us, will receive a rejection this year from at least one school! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the support that is coming from this page though - the transparency about rejections and successes is helpful. Feels good to have a group to go through this with! It's my second round of applications and it's feeling pretty demoralizing at the moment lol @higaishaand @neurocait, was the UBC-V, may I ask whether it seemed to be mass email that was sent out?

GraddieBaddie Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I lost my nerve and emailed the Queens grad secretary to ask about admissions timelines. ? She's out of office but this is also what her email said: Applicants: thank you for your email, Faculty are currently reviewing the admission files and we will contact you directly by the end of February with a decision.

ventiamericano Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Hi all, just came here to echo all the positive vibes about rejections! I myself just received a mass rejection from UBC and although it wasn’t a school I saw myself at, the sting was still there. A reminder that even though we are all stressed during applications, that our psyche is still important!! You guys are all amazing and have something to offer - don’t forget that even if you get a shitty mass e-mail. You chose this stream for a reason and don’t forget it!! Love how we are out here supporting each other - rejection isn’t a sign for you guys to quit and lose hope. If you guys are lookin for a sign that you should keep going - this is it!!! higaisha, gillis_55, Neurophilic and 5 others 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcm97 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Okay so I've been pretty quiet on this forum but just had to post to say that I am loving the transparent and accepting atmosphere we have on here! This process has been cut-throat, and I constantly find myself freaking out and comparing myself to others, which obviously only makes things worse. Being able to come on to this site and have so many people sharing similar feeling and situations helps tremendously. I really appreciate you guys!

I agree! I had a hunch about UVic given the Results page, but it would be so much better if we knew. I understand that some of the applicants are still under review/ on waitlist, but I doubt that most are still under consideration.

JoyJoy Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Hello guys, I applied to Uwaterloo Master clinical psychology program. I haven't heard anything yet, so I think it means a no given that the on-site interview is on Feb. 1. I wonder whether it's still necessary to apply for OGS which is due on Feb 1? I've already said in my app that I will apply for OGS. but I also don't want to waste the time to write the proposal if I will be rejected anyway..

siriuslypadfoot Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Have interviewed at Queen's and UNB! Those are the only clinical programs I've applied to this year because of last year was too draining with a bunch of apps, so I'm pretty pleased with this!! Has anyone heard anything from Queen's post-interview? I interviewed super early January and am getting anxious with the silence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psych_101 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Just got an email from Guelph saying interviews are going to be held mid-Jan to mid-Feb and you will only be contacted if your POI is interested! Has anyone heard?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
