Hey everyone! 

I'm wondering if anyone has heard from their PI at Lakehead throughout this entire process? They apparently don't do interviews but I find that hard to believe... I wonder if supervisors are doing informal interviews. 

Any insight would be helpful :)

I had the chance to speak to a PhD student in the clinical program at Lakehead and from my understanding (and take this information as anecdotal), not all PIs there do interviews but some do.

Hey Everyone! I am accepting my offer for the McMaster Masters program! I was wondering if anyone else is planning on attending Mac for the fall! Would love to get to know you and connect! ? Also, if you are looking for housing as well would love to look together! Wishing all the best to all the other applicants here, as well a special good luck and stay hopeful to all those of you still waiting to hear back! ❤️

Hey!! Congratulations on your acceptance<3. I have applied for Masters in the RCT stream and it still displays Under Review. I was wondering if there was an interview for the Masters program or if you had an opportunity to connect with your POI?? I am a nervous wreck and getting some information will be so helpful!!!

Hey! Thank you so much ❤️ I didn't get into the RCT stream it still showed under review but I had reached out to my POI and she is the one that said if I applied for the RCT you will automatically have an application for the experimental masters. I didn't have any interview for the masters program I just had couple meetings with my POI. I would definitely reach out to your POI! I know this process is so stressful but stay strong, I am hoping you get in, wishing you all the best! Reach out to me anytime if you need anything else!

Do you happen to know if this 'automatic application' applies to all of the RCT POIs? Thank you! :)

Hey everyone!

Has anyone heard from the Neuropsych stream at uWindsor? I'm curious if offers have been accepted, the deadline for replies is April 15th. If you did accept or are waiting to, would you mind sharing the supervisor you got the offer for? Thank you! Any info would help put me at ease, good or bad.

Congrats to everyone on their acceptances. For those of you who applied more than once before getting accepted, how did you spend your time off? What are some things you would recommend? Let me know!

If you got rejected this round, I advise (and I believe others would advise you to do the same; this is what I was told to do by a DCT) that you undertake a research position. That can be one or two volunteer positions or one full-time paid research position. The most important thing for these programs to see is that you've been doing research. The clinical aspect is also important but tends to be secondary. If you can do clinical research then even better - two birds with one stone. Another option is to do volunteer research and get a pain job in a clinical setting of sorts (with the respective population you want to work with as part of your degree would be ideal).

Thanks for the advice! I currently have 4 years of RA experience, 2 of which are clinically oriented and one publication. Not sure what else I'm missing in my application. I've also done clinical volunteering. If you have any other suggestions let me know!

The way I can describe this process to you is the same way every clinical MA and PhD student has described it to me thus far; it's a crapshoot. I mean it. Having those years of experience is great including the one publication, but you just have to keep doing more or less the same thing. Changing your application materials also can make a difference, such as reference letters, LOI, etc.
DM me maybe and we can have a video chat to discuss at length? I could type an essay here and still not be done.
