Hi there, I wish you the best of luck with everything, it seems like you are more than qualified to gain admissions and the waiting game is so stressful! I can tell you that I did a Skype interview with my POI at Queens in 2nd week of Jan. and I heard back yesterday that I will be doing another Skype interview with 2 other faculty. I also heard from my Ottawa POI this morning about a phone interview. I'm not sure about the other programs but I think there's still hope for Ottawa. I heard they do interviews between now and mid-Feb and different supervisors probably have slightly different timelines of when they offer interviews. Hope that helps a bit. 

Thank you!!

I haven't heard yet or seen anyone post that they have. Fingers crossed we will hear something soon!!

I think it’s important to remember we’re interviewing these grad schools as much as they’re interviewing us.  The application fee for OISE was easily the highest fee I had to pay, the timeline was the earliest out of all the programs I applied to, and the school has had our applications for almost three months now.  If they are planning on conducting interviews (or even if they’re not planning on doing them), I think it’s very reasonable to expect a shortlist could be developed in a three-month span, so I do hope someone hears something soon!

to everyone waiting for OISE,  you probably won't hear from them till march based on last year's cycle!

Definitely! Couldn't agree more. I think it is more than reasonable to expect to  have a shortlist by now considering applications were due Nov. 15.

I'm still waiting! My POI said they would let me know if I was waitlisted if I didn't receive an offer and I haven't heard anything yet. They did say decisions were going to be made by Friday (yesterday). I'm not sure if that was pushed back for whatever reason.

Did anyone else get an email from Ryerson about a new faculty member joining and taking graduate students? It says the email is "going out to a subset of applicants to Ryerson’s clinical program". I wonder what determined who got the email.

I emailed the grad secretary on Thursday and she said they would begin sending out offers within the next week

With the UCalgary open house now finished, does anyone know when offers of admission are supposed to start going out?

Yes, I received this as well. I also received an email this morning asking me to write a 150 word statement on why my research interests align with hers.

Did they ask for that after you contacted them?

It should be about a week or maybe two. 

I went to the open house a few years ago for my experimental psych degree. I heard back about being admitted exactly a week after the open house. However, this was for the experimental program, not clinical, so it might take longer for clinical although I imagine it won't be too much longer.

If you are extended an offer, you will likely hear back in the next 10 days or so! Good luck!

Is Queens totally done inviting people for committee interviews (with faculty other than your POI)?

No but my friend did. Her application is still under review!

Mine in still under review too.  I was (and I guess still am) curious because based on the results page some people started to hear back in February in previous years, so I’m still ??!

When I spoke with the grad secretary about admission stats during my application process, they said last year the program took around 7/100 applicants, so I’m hopeful, but struggling with trying not to get my hopes up too much.  I’m sure many others can relate to that last sentiment.

Yeah the sccp program is very competitive but don't worry it's still very early! Hearing nothing from them is actually good it means your application is strong
