torrep Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I haven't heard back yet but I know of a couple of people who applied for the clinical developmental program and received Open House invites last week. Still waiting but not very hopeful... The open house is actually tomorrow, (Feb 15th) sorry guys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torontoclinical Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 In our program nationality doesn't make a difference; we accept Americans (and other international students) and they're funded so it ends up as the same level as domestic students. The more unfortunate issue (for you) is that you can't apply for the significant external scholarships like SSHRC, NSERC, CIHR, and OGS. At my school that means you're 'stuck' with the internal funding ($22-25k/year - $7k tuition) instead of having access to the big bucks. You are right in that you can't apply to SSHRC, NSERC and CIHR.. but internationals can apply to OGS.. and SHOULD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torontoclinical Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I applied to University of Ottawa for Clinical Psychology, I have not heard anything back at all yet. If you have, I would love to know. i heard from someone that they already got contacted a couple weeks ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewin Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 You are right in that you can't apply to SSHRC, NSERC and CIHR.. but internationals can apply to OGS.. and SHOULD! Oops, my mistake! Yes, definitely apply to OGS for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FCP Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I heard that Ottawa has their departmental meeting on February 15, so supervisors have to give their first choices then. i heard from someone that they already got contacted a couple weeks ago so which one is it???

I know the suspense is really bugging me. I hate discrepancies (well maybe I don't hate them, but in this case, it is making me super nervous.

marief Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 so which one is it??? Sorry, I didn't realize my initial post was misleading. For them to have given their first choices on Feb 15, I am assuming they already interviewed the applicants they were interested in. I don't think they can rank their choices without having interviewed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For them to have given their first choices on Feb 15, I am assuming they already interviewed the applicants they were interested in. I don't think they can rank their choices without having interviewed them. One more thing. I talked to my professor at my university about the process. She informed me that they have a couple of these department meetings. In stage 1 - the professors discuss which students they would like to interview (according to their rankings - all the professors involved). At this point they are choosing who to invite for emails. At stage 2 - they have a department meeting to discuss the interviews they had and who they want to keep or not. So I guess the question is, which stage is the University of Ottawa (clinical psychology) at? Have they already sent out interview request? Or was this "Feb 15" meeting to discuss who they wanted to interview? I haven't seen any interview request in the results section... Has anyone been requested for an interview?

torrep Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Has anyone received an offer from York yet? Just got an email from my POI saying that I was accepted and that I'd get an official letter from the department head this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panda5074 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Just got an email from my POI saying that I was accepted and that I'd get an official letter from the department head this week! Also, was this just for Clinical students or for the Cognitive/Developmental students as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veggiez Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Also, was this just for Clinical students or for the Cognitive/Developmental students as well? Yeah I also applied to the cognitive/developmental program so I am hoping they just haven't made decisions yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrep Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Did you interview first? Yep, I had an interview on Jan 30, and then went to the orientation day that way held on Feb 15th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrep Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Yeah I also applied to the cognitive/developmental program so I am hoping they just haven't made decisions yet There are 7 areas of graduate psychology at York, but the orientation day was for Clinical and Clinical Developmental only...as for cognitive/educational/social etc. I don't really know how the process works...the clinical area is dealt with separately from all the other areas unfortunately. Sorry good luck with your applications! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they can rank their choices without having interviewed them. Bummer about Ottawa then. I'm having a difficult time gauging what's going on at Canadian schools based on the results section- it seems like there aren't very many Canadian applicants posting acceptances/rejections. Has anyone heard from Waterloo's clinical program? One entry in the results says that they were rejected "and if you haven't received an admit yet you probably won't"- but there's only three postings about Clinical psych on there... I've e-mailed my POI and I'm waiting to hear back. In the mean time, if you've heard from Waterloo please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crestfallen999 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Deep inside, i'm hoping that this news about uOttawa is wrong. I really don't want to move out of the city, but if I have to then I will. Here's to maybe hearing from a prof this week??? :S I received two rejection emails from Waterloo and Queens.

I wish you luck.. I haven't gotten a rejection from waterloo yet.. but I am expecting it.. the only reason why I wouldnt would be if someone decides to reject their acceptance.. and then they hold more interviews.
