Although I spoke with my 2nd choice POI yesterday (we are writing a paper together - he was my thesis supervisor) and he kind of hinted at the fact that I may not be getting an offer of admission... Sad face...

I received an email stating I was awarded OGS but it does not guarantee admission into the program. I have not received any word on program admission (since interviewing with my POI) but I have 30 days to respond to the scholarship offer. So I assume admission offers will be sent soon because my decision to accept the scholarship would be based on the premise that I was accepted into the program..

It may be helpful to connect with your POI and let he or she know that you've received OGS disney 1

Are OGS applications supposed to have already been submitted? I might've totally been looking at the wrong place...but I thought that I saw their deadline for those as being due in May 2019 or something like that?

Pretty sure these vary school to school unlike CGS-M, so you need to find the deadline for the specific school (some have passed already i.e. Ryerson and Waterloo, some are still open i.e. UTSC). Someone please correct me if I'm wrong!

Sorry for the false alarm I had the exact same panic when I read it. But apparently at like UOttawa deadline is Dec 1. While UTSC is in May.

I thought I would finally join the conversation here, as I've been lurking these threads for months I'm currently in my last year of undergrad at UofT doing my honours thesis and I have applied to SCCP at OISE, York (I've been rejected), and Ryerson. I've also applied to the MA of child study and education at OISE (teaching program) and MSW at UofT. I honestly won't be surprised if I don't get in anywhere my first year applying. I was wondering if anyone has heard of Adler University in Toronto? Apparently you can get your masters in psych and it prepares you to be registered with the college of psychologists of Ontario. The only downfall is, though, the tuition is almost $50k for the two years and the classes are only on the weekends... Hey! I've given a lot of thought to and gathered a lot of info on Adler. There are so many pros and cons, but I think determining whether it is a good decision for you comes down to many, many different factors. I am happy to talk about this further with you if that may be helpful! Feel free to DM me.

I'd be so pleased if that's true. When I submitted my CGS app + research proposal to the research portal on December 1st, it made me choose 3 schools that would review my application materials. None of those schools have offered me admission so I figured I'm SOL for CGS, crossing my fingers for OGS. From the York website, for example: "The selection process and post-award administration are carried out at the university level, under the guidance of the three agencies. Students submit their application to the university at which they propose to hold their award via the Research Portal." Deadline of December 1st 2018.

statsguy69 Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 Unless my memory is off, decisions for CGS-M are sent out April 1st. And considering the deadline, as mentioned above, was December 1st, I don’t think accepting applicants are automatically considered for a CGS award. Even if the department used your application materials, federal funding applications typically require references to upload their documents via their institution email (which a university administrator obviously cannot do) gillis_55 1

That being said, I don't want to hold on to an offer for a school I am less enthused about just because of that? Ack!

Certainly worth double-checking (I haven't checked since December) but I'm fairly sure the status of your application is updated April 1st

I would rather not wait that long before deciding both to ease my own mind but also because it seems cruel to the alternate/wait-listed people.
gradlady Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 Has anyone on this thread heard back about acceptance or rejection/ waitlisted from Waterloo. I know someone from the results page got a Waterloo acceptance but anyone else? Ladydaydream 1

I know someone from the results page got a Waterloo acceptance but anyone else? Yeah, I interviewed there as well and haven't heard a peep. I assume that I'm either waitlisted or rejected at this point because there have been a couple acceptances (I think?) on the results page. But I'm wondering whether it's appropriate to email either the POI or the coordinator to ask about the status of my application? I wish I knew where I stood with them for certain.
Neurophilic Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 Anyone hear from McGill post interview? ☺️
