Mickey_ Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Has anyone heard from Ottawa or OISE? And is there still a chance for Ryerson if I have not received a rejection? The wait is sooo difficult! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Ryerson, by this point, even if your POI is not participating in open house, you should have gotten some notice from them (if you're on their shortlist). I would take it as rejection at this point. While its true not all POIs are going to be recruiting at open house, those that aren't have arranged alternate means.

I have spoken with a faculty member at my current institution with close ties to a PI at OISE, and she has informed me that they haven't yet reached out to anyone. They also typically do not do open houses and only do Skype/phone/e-mail interviews, so I think that gives them a little more time when making decisions and reaching out.

P.S. is anyone else encountering a bunch of server errors when trying to post on/navigate gradcafe? Wanted to chime in that I've interviewed with every school I applied to in Canada except OISE whom I haven't heard from. As @chopper.wife said, it is probably PI-dependent, as they don't have an open house or strict internal deadline it seems. (Also have been encountering server errors, probably a temporary website issue.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am currently at Ryerson (for psych science; switching after changing my career objectives) and I was approached by my supervisor in March after the open house. There were students in the clinical stream who went through a similar situation. So there is still hope for those who have not heard. higaisha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was explicitly told by the individual I interviewed with at Rye to not expect to hear anything for several months regarding short-list and final decisions, and that I would be notified by Ryerson directly, not by them, regarding acceptance soooo... fingers crossed!! Unless they didn't want me right off the back and want to let me down easy ? who knows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillis_55 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Hi all, I just heard from the program liaison at OISE CCP that faculty are still reviewing applications for the next few weeks; the committee then meets at the beginning of March to make a decision. Hope this helps! Psych_101 and C_Lamoureux 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps! Oh and one more thing - apparently after applications are culled down based on GRE scores, GPA etc (no specifics available here, sorry), then applications are reviewed by ALL faculty members - so you might receive an interview invite from someone you didn't list as a POI on your application.
