Wow, thats very interesting! I always wondered what the chances were of contacting PI’s vs not. I hope that you also receive good news from your other schools!

Yea I am not sure actually, I know some Universities for School Psyc programs say that it is not necessary to reach out beforehand (however, I am pretty sure UofT suggests you do).

Best of luck to you as well! I hope you receive good news from the schools you applied to :)

Does anyone know if UofA does interviews, and if so, when the invites have gone out in the past? I noticed today my application went from "Submitted" to "Pre-screening"!

I received an invite today from a PI at Calgary. I hadn’t contacted this PI but another one which they said is at full capacity. The invite is for tomorrow so I’m very stressed right now!

Hi! Has anyone gotten an interview from MW from OISE SCCP? Also, it seems like there isn't a departmental interview day for OISE SCCP, does anyone know how the admission process works? Thank you!

I interviewed this week with a PI from the OISE SCCP program. From my understanding, each PI interviews their prospective students and then sends the name of the student they have selected to the dept. From there, it takes the dept around 4-6 weeks to send official letters of admission. He told me we probably wont hear until late Feb/early March (as he said it's completely dependent on the dept, and they usually take a while)! I am not 100% when interviews are taking place (as it's PI dependent), and haven't heard of anyone getting an interview with MW, but from what I do know it seems interviews started going out late last week (and the turnaround day from time of invite to actual interview is FAST (1-2 days)). Hope this helps!

Any news from University of Alberta, McGill, Western, and OISE?

No! It’s getting super frustrating haha. I know that some PIs at McGill will be holding interviews but have not heard anything else.

I called McGill this morning to get a rough idea of when interview offers are going out but couldn't get through. My BSc and MA are from UoT so it may be a long-shot anyway since I'm assuming these schools will take their honours students.

I emailed UofC and they said they would inform applicants between 10-12 weeks from the application deadline. For UofA, I emailed the SCCP coordinator and she said they are still reviewing apps and we wont hear till end of Feb most likely. The waiting is brutal but sending good vibes to everyone!!!

Thanks for sharing! I guess that means UofC could be this week then!!
