2022-2023 Clinical Psychology Applications - Canada

Didn't get a reply after my interview with Windsor, and didn't get an interview from any other schools I applied to. To those who weren't lucky this round, I know it hurts and I empathize. Self care is crucial now.

Do you mind sharing POI initials?

Congrats!

Received notification that I was waitlisted to Windsor's Child track, unfortunate as this is my top choice. 

Wondering if anyone has heard from the PsyD program at MUN or the MA program in clinical psych at Lakehead yet?

I haven't heard anything from Windsor since I've submitted my application. What's the link to check my application status?  - EDIT: found it! thanks

Hey, do you mind DM'ing the PI's initials? I applied for the Child track and haven't heard anything (not even for an interview) so I want to know if it's safe to assume rejection. Thank you and good luck:)

Windsor's child track had a very short interview period last week (from my understanding, all of them were conducted within a few days), and they met very shortly after to send out offers. I was waitlisted for the child track on the weekend.

Hi! I interviewed with SFU and im waiting to hear back. Did anyone interview with MM as their poi and hear back???

[wannabeclinical]

Does anyone here know anything about the University of Alberta's SCCP program (sorry I know it isn't a clinical program but thought some people here might have also applied to it)? I am not sure when to expect to hear from them.

On a different note I received an acceptance from York's CD program on Friday! Very exciting as it is 5 years in the making. I'm just figuring out what my priorities are before I decide if I want to accept or not. So a spot might open up with AP yet ?

[hopelessbuthoping]

When I check Windsor's egas it still says processing. I haven't heard anything from them at all, should I assume I was rejected? Will I get an email?

[Lavender_1]

Does anyone have tips/advice for what types of questions to ask to a POI who interviewed you, did not select you, but has emailed you to offer to provide feedback?

DM or respond on thread, Thanks in advance!!

That's some invaluable feedback. I would be very receptive to it! 

[psyched2023]

Hi everyone! Has anyone heard back about a formal interview for Ryerson? I interviewed with a POI and their grad students in early January but haven't heard anything since. TIA:)

Yes! I am very interested in hearing the feedback  - I was invited to ask specific questions, so this is what I'm wondering about .... Are there any specific questions that I should ask?

Oh sorry, I hadn't read your Q very well. 

Some questions would be:

- Considering that I was not accepted to the program, were there any specific reasons why I was not accepted? Related to this question, what could I do to make myself more competitive? You can ask about any gaps/weaknesses the POI has seen in your CV, references, interview, etc. 

- What are the strengths in my application and interview? 

- If you'd like, are there any opportunities to work with you as a research assistant/to publish something, etc.? This is to maintain the relationship and gain some good experience if you want to

I believe all offers have been sent out for the child and adult tracks ? not sure about the neuro track, however! 

My application also says processing, but I have already been interviewed + waitlisted

Ryerson's visiting day was today. I believe If you were shortlisted for the program you would have been invited. I have my final interview for Ryerson this Friday (which is pretty late) and then I believe offers will be sent out shortly after that.

Just got my rejection email from Windsor’s adult clinical track. I also applied to child clinical but no word back yet and no interviews. My first update on any of my applications? Sending others hugs and good vibes.

[Birdnerd]

I also just received a rejection from Windsor for adult clinical (didn’t have an interview). They must be sending out a batch of these out after completing interviews/finalizing shortlists.  It’s disappointing but at least it’s an answer.
