Does anyone have any good interview prep/resources they would be willing to share? There's a lot online for general PhD programs, but not a lot for clinical psych. No results posted yet for any of the programs I applied to but the nerves are getting high ? trying not to freak out thinking 'are people getting interviews for these programs but nobody is posting about it?' I know it's still early but it's so easy to obsess over it. Just want to let you know that there's a discord server with resources for clinical and counseling psychology PhD applicants! It's meant to be a space where applicants can access resources, seek advice, and commune with others navigating the same process. There's also a Canada-specific channel!

Do you know when they normally start sending interview invites? Me neither so I’m not sure. Perhaps someone who interviewed last year or before knows?

I believe people started hearing back late January/early February for interviews. Despite an early application deadline, they were one of the later programs to reach out carlrogersfan98, prospectivegradstudent21 and clinclin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance I applied to Waterloo Clinical and Calgary Counselling and haven't heard from either place yet, nor have I heard of anyone else who's heard back. Waterloo sent out their interview invites before Christmas last year, but I'm like 98% sure they haven't sent them out yet this year. Also, I'm seeing lots of folks who have gotten interviews for York's Clinical Developmental stream (congratulations!), but I'm wondering if anyone has heard yet about York's General Clinical stream yet?

Haven't heard from Waterloo nor York's Clinical program. One of the POIs I emailed (at York) prior to applying mentioned interview invites usually get sent out "late January".

Nazb Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Hi folks, It's my first time here. If I'm honest, it's brutal to see others have received interviews (congratulations), but I haven't heard anything back.

We are still very early in the game. A lot of these interview invites are also initial (informal) interviews with the POIs. Many profs apparently choose not to do an initial interview at all and most schools' clinical department are just starting to convene regarding formal interview invites. I definitely agree with @psychologyenjoyer, take some time away from this and take care of yourself. We're all on the same journey, feel free to reach out if you want someone to talk to. plsletmeinthankyou, SoundofSilence, carlrogersfan98 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terelia Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) School: Western (Clinical Psychology Program) Date of invite: January 10 Date of interview: January 13 (POI: GR) This is a preliminary phone call interview. He said the interview day is February 11th, if I get invited to attend - it's still SUPER early so I suspect if you applied, you will be contacted on a rolling basis until mid-February. This is my 3rd year applying so I know how awful the waiting process is - hang in there. I hope everyone can find some time to step away from you email and gradcafe to look after themselves.

carlrogersfan98 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Hey guys, does anyone know if Queen's has a formal departmental interview, or is all interviewing done by the POI's? Trying to figure out if my interview is "THE" interview or a prelim - it is with my POI and she said I should expect to meet for an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babooshka Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 School: Simon Fraser University Date of invite: Jan 10 Date of interview: Prior to Feb 1st Virtual open house: Jan 27 School: UTSC Date of invite: Jan 6/Jan 7 Date of (informal) interview: Jan 7/Jan 10 These were both informal interviews with two cosupervisors I had put down. School: McMaster Date of invite: Dec 23 Date of (informal) interview: Jan 6 Another informal interview. Just as a note: this is my third year applying and I have never had any interviews prior to this, so I am feeling quite relieved after so much rejection. I am happy to be at this point in the process, at least, and am crossing my fingers that I can make it further. I genuinely wish everyone the best of luck - please try to stay focused, positive, and forward-thinking. It's so easy to feel dejected and doubtful of your own abilities throughout this process. mphxpsych, psyc2020, prospectivegradstudent21 and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone is applying for SFU this application cycle and has questions about the program (particularly the forensic track), feel free to shoot me a DM! Hello!

psychowannabee Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Congratulations to everyone getting interviews! Rooting for you guys! As someone who's planning to apply next year, I feel both the mixed feelings of excitement, fear and anxiousness that everyone else must be going through even as an outsider. carlrogersfan98, SoundofSilence, babooshka and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoundofSilence Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 So here it goes... School: Dalhousie University Type: Clinical Psychology PhD Acceptance/Waitlist/Rejection: Acceptance Type of Notification: Official Email Date Notified: 1/11/22 Gaaaaah... it's only been a decade of work to get here (no, I'm not kidding) and I was starting to feel really old. After receiving the email I was half numb and half freaking out and kept asking everyone if it's normal. It doesn't really feel real yet and I'm still in anxious/panicky mode somewhat. However, I do plan on taking the weekend off and just unwind. Get in touch if you're considering Dal or just have questions, I'm around.

T.O.hopeful Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Does this week seem fairly quiet to other people or is this to be expected? I was expecting to hear of more invites during this second week of January but it's been quiet on here and the discord page. Tough seeing American schools have so many invites being sent while we wait for our POIs to dust off the application pile... lol And congrats @SoundofSilence!! Envious of your ability to relax now and it's only January ?! carlrogersfan98, clinicalpsychhopeful5, babooshka and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
