MakeYourself Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Just thought I'd start a new thread for Canadian applicants since we will probably be waiting quite a bit longer than those who applied to American schools. Anyone heard back from any schools yet? I think some of the clinical invites have gone out because some schools' interview weeks are soon, but I haven't heard anyone get anything from social, developmental, or other areas.
fingers_toes_X Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Hi, Thank for starting the thread! I'm applying to dev psych at Mcmaster. My POI told me that the graduate committee was having the meeting last week, and he would update me the result shortly after. But I haven't heard anything yet so far.. what schools are you applying for?
DBP Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Last week, I received an (unofficial) invitation to University of Toronto's March Open House, like an interview but less formal.

My POI told me that the graduate committee was having the meeting last week, and he would update me the result shortly after. But I haven't heard anything yet so far.. what schools are you applying for? I've applied to UofT, SFU, UBC, and McGill, haven't heard anything from any of them so far. Today I'm starting to get really nervous :/

anonyouknow Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 The only school I've heard from out of 7 is Adler, which isn't exactly my top choice. We're lining up the date for a skype interview in the next week. I'm super anxious to hear back from the others, it seems like so many results are coming in and I want to join the party
MakeYourself Posted January 31, 2012 Author Posted January 31, 2012 From looking at the results section, it looks like all the clinical invites for SFU have been sent out and people are just receiving rejections now.
DBP Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 My friend, (actually friend not me!), in clinical has received interview invites for: UWaterloo (his interview was today), UWO (Feb 10th?) and York (TBA). As well as contact from a POI at UBC asking for a phone interview, likely a pre-screen. I haven't head from him whether the UWaterloo clinical interview was all applicants, or how many people were interviewed. Best of luck to everyone!
JedTheHoneyBadger Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Just found out that Radomsky at Concordia and Antony at Ryerson have already interviewed candidates. Looks like my dreams of school in Canada are crushed.
jrg Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) Last week, I received an (unofficial) invitation to University of Toronto's March Open House, like an interview but less formal. Congrats! I guess I'll be seeing you there. I received an invitation to U of T's march open house where I'll be having interviews with a number of faculty members, and checking out at least two of their labs. Haven't heard anything from anywhere else yet... getting very worred. Additionally, got some bad news today. Was put on the "Reversion" list for SSHRC by my University. I go to York. Most likely not getting SSHRC funding Edited February 10, 2012 by jrg

Most likely not getting SSHRC funding Hi, congrats on the interview invitation! I also applied to U of T Social Psych but haven't heard anything yet. Did you receive your invitation via phone, email, or website? My status on their website is still "under review". I probably shouldn't have high hopes by now. Also, do you mind me asking who's your POI?
yubby Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 who did you guys/ladies apply to? i study @ ut...maybe i can help? pm me if you want
clinicalpsychphd Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Did anyone get an official invitation to UBC's open house in March?
jidre413 Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) Did anyone get an official invitation to UBC's open house in March? I did! I got an email from my POI who sent me the schedule and asked me to come. But I haven't received an 'official' invitation. I'm assuming I'll receive it sometime soon? Are you going as well?

I'm assuming I'll receive it sometime soon? Are you going as well? I haven't received an invitation yet . I got an update few weeks ago from my POIs informing me that no decisions have been made yet. Did you get your invitation shortly after your phone interview? Congrats on getting the invite!

Did you get your invitation shortly after your phone interview? Congrats on getting the invite! I never did a phone interview with my POI, but I had been in contact with him over email since last summer. He emailed me and invited me to come to the open house a couple weeks ago. But, since I haven't received an 'official' invitation yet, I think that maybe not all of the invites have been sent out? Some of the faculty might still be deciding who to invite - by your user name I'm guessing you're in clinical - I'm in social psych so there might be a difference there too. Good luck!
jrg Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Got accepted into U of Calgary's I/O program today. No interview.
anonyouknow Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Hey jrg! So you're the other Calgary acceptance in the results section... I received my acceptance and package today as well. Who's your POI? Have you heard anything from Waterloo or UWO at all yet? I'm waiting for decisions from them too.

Haven't heard anything from Waterloo or UWO yet either unfortunately (interview, decision, anything). I did apply to UWO for social though, and I saw in the results section that UWO had its interviews for I/O already. PM me for POI info Edited February 23, 2012 by jrg

DustSNK Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Wow there is a healthy amount of replies here! Tried to get one of these going on the Sociology board, nothing. If any of you want to see whats up with CAN programs in general, share your experiences/thoughts on this thread.....
jrg Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Do you happen to know if UWO has made decisions for masters too ? No sorry. I just saw on the results survey section of this website someone got invited to an interview for their I/O program.
Mengran Xu Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Got an unofficial offer from Waterloo a few days ago (Clinical Psychology PhD) after a Skype interview earlier this month.

fingers_toes_X Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 McMaster Psychology is holding recruitment weekend for prospective students (those they haven't admitted) on March 9-11. It seems more like 'discussing' things rather than formal interviews..
