This is my fourth cycle and it still doesn't feel real! I cannot believe it, truly. I had given up last year but thought I would try once more. If anyone has any questions, don't hesitate to reach out. This is your reminder that the path may not be linear, might take longer than you anticipated, but if this is really your route then continue working towards it!

Hello! Wondering if anyone has heard any updates about Ottawa U? I know someone mentioned that POIs were to submit their choices by Monday, which I believe was yesterday. My application still says under review, but I have not heard anything else. I am assuming it's a no

FYI - Apparently the University of Ottawa does NOT have a waitlist.

*Noting because other schools do have waitlists.

Submitting the choices moves things on to the next round, so I don't think official updates will be sent out yet.

Congrats!!!! I'm on my third cycle, it can get really frustrating. I'm so glad you managed to get in

[ClinicalPsychBean]

Was just accepted at SFU! I got an email from the PI as well as from the Department Chair PI: SZ 

I am lucky in that this is my first cycle. However, I was applying with 4 years of research experience, 2 ongoing manuscripts, 1 submitted manuscript, and 3 poster presentations. I'm happy to chat with anyone who didn't get in as well if needing feedback on application materials and such

[Psychqueen]

Received an acceptance to SFU today! PM for details and POI!

[ughwhyamiapsychmajor]

Hey everyone! Wondering if anyone has heard from Concordia at all - I had the best fit with the PI I applied with research wise out of all my apps, but I haven't heard a single update anywhere and feeling ✨stressed✨

From what I've heard on this forum and the discord the following have either already sent out invites, and/or acceptances: 

Windsor, SFU, Ryerson, UBCO, Waterloo, York, UoT (all), UNB, Dal, Western, UofCal, McMaster, and there is speculation that UBCV is complete as well.. I'm sure there are more but I'm not really paying attention most of the ones I didn't apply to. 

The ones I haven't heard anything about yet for formal interviews is Queens, and then maybe Uottawa, but because they do theirs different, I'm not really sure how to judge that. 

[PSYCNerd101]

If Anyone hears anything about the SFU forensic track and if the offers have been sent out please let me know.

thanks

From what I've seen it applies to both. But I didn't apply to them so I'm not 100% sure.

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 back from MUN yet, just an FYI that you're not the only one here! waiting on that school!

Interview with OISE SCCP on Monday. Heard from POI that they will probably have to make the decision by next week.

It sounds like there were some snags in the formal interview process for Queen's; my POI was forced to cut her list of students she interviewed in prelims and wanted to forward to the next step. I think it was due to space? They def changed some kind of rules or guidelines for it so that could be why it's taking forever.

That being said, most POI's I've seen on here did prelims and then picked from the students they talked to during prelims to send to the next stage. If you haven't been contacted for a prelim then I'm not so sure what the chances for a formal interview are - perhaps some POI's don't have prelims at all?

My POI for the CCP (not SCCP) program was also in quite a rush for interviews to send his feedback of each student back to the committee for final decisions. Not sure what this means in terms of when to expect decisions - knowing OISE I am banking on March hahaha

For anyone wondering where things are at with SFU, I've been waitlisted for Forensic track. Unlikely that anyone applying to forensic track will decline in my opinion, so I'm essentially counting it as a rejection.

[psyched2023]

Sorry if this has already been discussed earlier, but I'm wondering if people have had interviews with POIs or formal interviews at Waterloo yet. I read here that they had sent out rejections but otherwise couldn't find much about that program!
