Interviews are in two weeks, and with only 3 faculty recruiting (1 of which I know might not recruit at all), I wouldn't be surprised if Western end up not taking any students this year. I applied to the CDBS MSc program as a back-up this year and received an invitation from my POI last week (non-clinical faculty) to the formal interview day on Feb 5. I haven't received a formal invitation from the department yet but apparently this is to come soon. higaisha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

York received a TON of applications this year to the clinical program. They're still sorting through applications; I'd be surprised if many/any had heard from York yet.

clinical_psych Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I don’t know if anyone has attended an open house yet this year but I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on how the virtual aspect was? Maybe a bit on what to expect? From what I’ve heard most programs structure it (pre-pandemic) as follows: 1) a group meeting where research in several labs are presented 2) discussion and question period about the clinical program 3) lab tours - when you and your competition meet your POIs grad students and ask questions and when you are both interviewed by your POI. If this is the case, how will this look virtually? In general does anyone have advice on how to prepare for an open house and/or the interview with your competition present?

I interviewed last week with my POI for Ryerson and they mentioned a virtual open house for early February where they will essentially do a walk through of the labs over the video. He didn't mention whether it would be interactive in terms of whether applicants would be asked to speak up. In terms of speaking with grad students, my POI connected me with his current MA student and I had a separate follow up video call with her. Normally, we would speak with current students during the interview day/open house. However, seems like this year, they may just be having us have zoom calls with the students. Hope this helps!

I went to Queens' back in the fall and it was one big zoom call for the entire psych department, then a smaller separate one for clinical, and then an even smaller one for your POI's lab - no lab tours or anything, but the grad students were also there in the call. Although this was before the app deadline so it was open to all. Perhaps it would be structured differently for shortlisted applicants but I can't really see why it would look much different, aside from actual interviews being held.

PrettyFlyForACogSci Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Had two Zoom pre-interviews this week- completely nerve wracking and I don't have the slightest clue how I did. I actually hate this whole process!! Feel free to dm for details but I have limited info. School: Queen's Program: Clinical MSc Interview type: 30-min Zoom chat with PI Date of Invite: Jan 14, had pre-interview yesterday School: Calgary Program: Clinical MSc Interview type: 30-min Zoom chat with PI Date of Invite: Jan 14, had pre-interview today School: Western Program: (NOT CLINICAL) Cog, Dev, Brain Sciences MSc program Interview type: Invited to formal interview on Feb 5. The invitation was written by a clinical faculty member and it looked general to all Psychology grad applicants so this may have also went out to invited clinical applicants but I can't confirm that Date of Invite: Today freudianslipintogradschool, higaisha, clinical_psyc_hopeful and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
