The interview said it is with two clinical faculty members. Has anyone interviewed at Dalhousie before that could give me some insight into the process? I'm very surprised by how early they are interviewing compared to schools I applied to last year. Congrats! Can I ask if it was a specific PI that asked you and if so, are you able to share their initials? squirrelgirl, criticalthinker and babooshka 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skowall Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Looks like Dalhousie acceptances went out already and some interviews have gone out for Calgary. Feeling slightly discouraged as these were 2/9 schools for me and I have yet to hear anything. Congrats to those who have heard back! If anyone has any other info let me know!

I know I'm not the OP but this is helpful! Thanks for letting us know! Do you know if the profs have different timelines for interviewing? And if you feel comfortable, could you send me the initials of the prof you interviewed with?? I applied to Dal but haven't heard anything at all so I don't have high hopes?

The PI has already agreed to take me on if I get into the program. I can tell they updated my application today, but I still haven’t received a decision. criticalthinker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
criticalthinker Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Its not much of an update but I got an e-mail this morning letting me know that my application is being reviewed by the department/admissions committee at University of Manitoba. It seems t me it's just a generic email but also included an application ID number for me to reference in future communications. babooshka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babooshka Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Congrats to everyone receiving interviews! I just got invited to prelims for Waterloo and Guelph. Waterloo asking me to pick 2 articles of theirs to discuss - not going to lie, a little bit intimidated by that!

Congrats on receiving two interviews!!! That's so exciting!! Also, I would be a bit nervous too about picking an article as well!

I've never heard of this either, especially for a preliminary interview, except at UK institutions for formal interviews where you analyse a paper together. Also wondering if anyone else has had this happen - either way, I won't complain! criticalthinker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

criticalthinker Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 In case anyone else applied to CGS-D: I received an e-mail yesterday notifying me that my CGS-D SSHRC application has been forwarded to the national competition (I applied for CGS-D since I already received CGS-M for my current masters) squirrelgirl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around the weekend I even started wishing break would end ? That's how anxious I am, haha! Anxious in both a good and bad way, as you said - I'm hopeful that I might get another interview and I know they come out around this week so it's stressful to have to wait! I think most of the schools I applied to are fairly early to respond. Wishing everyone the best of luck if you're waiting to hear back soon. criticalthinker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyched555 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Hi Everyone! Hope you enjoyed the holidays without too much worrying. I am in the same boat with waiting for the hope of getting an interview and very anxious about it haha! Its my second time applying and I hope i learned alittle from my last time and that the profs see it too haha, but I just wanted to post and say I was looking at the old application forum and it seemed like some schools released interviews on the 5th of jan and sparatically after that. That may be a good resources to look at if your nerves are getting to you, just like mine. But remember you worked hard and something great will come of that!! Best of luck everyone and keep us all updated if anything good or bad happens! babooshka, clinicalpsychhopeful5, criticalthinker and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

January 5th was the Tuesday after New Years last year, so I'm assuming some news from at least somewhere will come out tomorrow since yesterday was NYE observed. I'm wondering if there will be more news tomorrow. babooshka and criticalthinker 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think York started inviting for interviews around this time last year. I don't think decisions were released yet this time last year either just yet (at least for the schools I've applied to). criticalthinker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
