Psychologize13 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Hi everyone! I decided to start a forum for those who applied to Canadian schools. I applied to York and Ryerson for an MA in Clinical Psych and U of T for an MA in Experimental Psych. So far I've heard back from Ryerson for an interview (2 days ago on January 28th 2013). Has anyone heard anything from other Canadian schools?
veggiez Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 I applied to York too! But no, I haven't heard anything. They are very near the top of my list though, so I would love to hear something.
sdt13 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) I applied to McGill for a PhD in social/personality, Saskatchewan for an MA in applied social, and UVic for an Msc in social. So far I have only had informal contact with McGill and the POI at UVic asked me to resend my GRE scores. Other than that I haven't heard anything. Edited January 30, 2013 by sdt13

sdt13 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 McGill will have "unofficially" made all decisions made by February 8th (date of final faculty meeting) Thanks for the info! I have a phone meeting with my POI tomorrow to discuss my ranking/chances of getting in. Hopefully it goes well, as it is one of my top choices...
eaboo316 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I applied to University of Toronto for the PhD Developmental Psychology and Education program...I have no idea when I will start hearing back. That "under review" status on my application has been taunting me...
clinicalpsychphd Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I heard back from UBC and SFU but nothing from Ontario schools.
FacelessMage Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I heard back from SFU (MA clinical) last Thursday about interviews. I haven't heard back from any of the other schools that I've applied to yet (Saskatchewan, UBCO, and Carleton).
marief Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I heard back from Ryerson, Dalhousie, and UNB for interviews so far (all clinical programs).
lhommependu Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 I have meetings at York the week after next. They don't seem to have a formal recruitment weekend or anything (I actually got to pick the dates of my visit myself), so for those still waiting to hear from them, I wouldn't be too concerned just yet. The only other school I applied to that I have yet to hear from that hasn't already been addressed in this thread is Manitoba, and their application webpage suggests they're still doing preliminary evaluation.
Brittany22 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 McGill will have "unofficially" made all decisions made by February 8th (date of final faculty meeting) Is just for PhD or MA as well?
stefanka Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) Both. For experimental and clinical psych Edited February 4, 2013 by stefanka
sdt13 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) My POI told me that he would call me after this meeting on the 8th to let me know the results. So, I imagine others would hear back sometime the following week, unless the profs hold off until funding is determined (which I was told, for me at least, would be toward the end of feb. - early march).

torrep Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Just got good news! I applied to York Clin. Dev. Psych Masters. and my POI emailed me on Jan 30. We had an interview on Feb 1, and I was invited to the department open house and info session on Feb 15th... crossing my fingers, he says I should find out officially whether I've been accepted after the open house happens.
veggiez Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Do you know if the open house is only for the clinical developmental program or for all of the psychology programs? I talked to my POI in the fall and she said that funding was difficult for American students, so that might be why I haven't heard back.
psych.77 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Has anyone received any type of correspondence (i.e., scheduling interviews, open house days, the acceptance timeline, etc.) from OISE, University of Guelph, or University of Ottawa? Thanks very much to all.
gso97 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Hello all. I am an American student who has applied to McGill's PhD program in Counselling Psychology. Anyone else out there looking at this particular program? Anyone know anything about when decisions might be made? I haven't heard anything yet, my status still reads "Ready for Review." I will post if I get any information and if others would do the same that would be just wonderful. Thanks !

I talked to my POI in the fall and she said that funding was difficult for American students, so that might be why I haven't heard back. the open house is only for the Clinical and Clinical Developmental Programs only. I dont know about the other programs, they are run by a completely different acceptance committee... Sorry good luck though!
veggiez Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 the open house is only for the Clinical and Clinical Developmental Programs only. I dont know about the other programs, they are run by a completely different acceptance committee... Sorry good luck though! No that's totally fine! I would rather not be sure than know that I didn't get an interview for sure haha. Holding onto that little bit of hope.
CBrown Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I was contacted by Ryerson for an interview a few weeks ago, also heard from Saskatchewan but only regarding my funding status. Still nothing from several other schools, it's still pretty early for a lot of the Canadian ones, but I know a few people who got contacted by Western Ontario and SFU already. Good luck everyone!
sdt13 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that my POI at McGill said that they (although I can only speak from the social perspective) were trying to get a head start before other Canadian schools. So, as CBrown said, it's apparently still pretty early.
trajectory7 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I was contacted by Ryerson and Guelph a couple weeks ago for interviews. I know that not all faculty at Ryerson have reviewed applications at this point, though. I believe Guelph will be making decisions shortly. No word from anywhere else. Still too early in the game, so stay positive!
Brittany22 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Has anyone received any type of correspondence (i.e., scheduling interviews, open house days, the acceptance timeline, etc.) from OISE, University of Guelph, or University of Ottawa? Thanks very much to all. Havent' heard anything from OISE :S
