Jay's Brain Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Has anyone here applied to/had an interview with/ been accepted with an associate member faculty at UTSC? I applied to UTSC with an associate faculty member!
C10H12N2O Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) POI emailed me and informed me that the admissions committee for uOttawa Clinical Program is meeting today! Good luck everyone! Thanks for letting us know! I can begin bracing myself for rejection Edited February 23, 2015 by C10H12N2O
FliesKites Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 POI emailed me and informed me that the admissions committee for uOttawa Clinical Program is meeting today! Good luck everyone! Ahhhhhhhhhh... *panics* I was also told that the UWaterloo people will be meeting this week. That being said, I saw someone with an unofficial offer from them on the results page, and I'm not sure what the chances are that a prof would've emailed that info before the official meeting.

That being said, I saw someone with an unofficial offer from them on the results page, and I'm not sure what the chances are that a prof would've emailed that info before the official meeting. The prof could have said something like "I will be passing your name along to the selection committee and I would be shocked if you didn't get an offer".
FliesKites Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) The prof could have said something like "I will be passing your name along to the selection committee and I would be shocked if you didn't get an offer". I am sincerely hoping that this is the case... seeing as I just now heard news of rejection from UOttawa, which was my second-choice school. Waterloo is #1. Despite feeling like Waterloo views me as a very strong candidate and despite the fact that my interview there was fantastic... I find myself bracing now for possible rejection from them too, just in case. Glad I have solid back-up plans in the event I have to apply again next year. Edited February 23, 2015 by FliesKites

Sorry to hear about Ottawa I wouldn't read too much into it. Just because one prof is confident and vocal about predicting graduate admissions, doesn't mean they will all be so vocal about what they think will happen.
student896 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Whoever got accepted to OISE, would you let me know your POI, if you could? And congrats to that person!
gradgoal Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Whoever got accepted to OISE, would you let me know your POI, if you could? And congrats to that person! Same with me please, I interviewed on the 13th but haven't had any news yet.
Generic_Applicant Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 York still hasn't changed.my status to denied nor has emailed me a thing. Both my POIs are not accepting, found out late, so I wonder why they won't just reject me.
gradgoal Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 i'm quite concerned. I think I just realized that Calgary's School and Applied Child Psychology program is NOT CPA accredited...can anyone confirm this?
clinpsych99 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 i'm quite concerned. I think I just realized that Calgary's School and Applied Child Psychology program is NOT CPA accredited...can anyone confirm this? Correct. UBC and OISE are the only CPA accredited school and child programs in Canada.
gradgoal Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Correct. UBC and OISE are the only CPA accredited school and child programs in Canada what would happen if you were to attend a Non-CPA accredited program. How severely would that impact you?
Jay's Brain Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 what would happen if you were to attend a Non-CPA accredited program. How severely would that impact you? I think that largely depends on the program. If, for example, the programs are relatively new and they are looking for accreditation, this may mean at least 5 years/the first graduating class before the school will get officially recognized by CPA. It won't affect students per se except in the case where you have graduated from the program and it is still yet to be accredited. In that case, it might be more of a challenge for students to get their license and practice. Usually schools are in the process of becoming accredited, though. One of the schools I am applying to is also waiting for clearance and accreditation and that's what I've heard from the faculty I spoke with.
FliesKites Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I'm very sorry to hear about that. I've had radio silence from several schools (including UOttawa) and I'm not too optimistic either. If you don't mind, would you be able to share whether you were notified of your rejection via your Infoweb account, by e-mail, or by your POI? Keep on keeping on, your first choice is still within reach! POI. During my interview my POI explained the adcomm process and said she would send me a follow-up when her interviews were complete and she had submitted her picks to adcomm. The email I got from her was that follow-up. I keep telling myself it's better to know now... but I would have much preferred having an offer somewhere already in hand when I got this news. :/ Would have softened the blow, yunno?
MJS04 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 i'm quite concerned. I think I just realized that Calgary's School and Applied Child Psychology program is NOT CPA accredited...can anyone confirm this? Calgary's School and Applied Child Psychology program is not accredited, and to my knowledge is not under the process of being accredited. It is not a Clinical Program, unlike OISE which is a clinical program. The Clinical Program at UofC and the School and Applied Psychology program's are not connected and under completely different departments.
Sujie Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 What if I don't plan to be a counseling psychologist, does the accreditation of the program matter much then? E.g. if I graduate from a non-accredited masters program, will it damage my application for a PhD in future?(not clinical psych)
Jay's Brain Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 What if I don't plan to be a counseling psychologist, does the accreditation of the program matter much then? E.g. if I graduate from a non-accredited masters program, will it damage my application for a PhD in future?(not clinical psych) Straight from the CPA website:Accreditation is important for numerous reasons. 4 key reasons are: Accreditation is like a ‘stamp of approval’ from the larger psychology community that says a particular programme meets the standards that are considered important for professional psychology training. Graduating from an accredited programme facilitates the licensure/registration process. Many internship programmes will only accept applicants from an accredited doctoral programme. Many employers prefer individuals who have graduated from an accredited doctoral and internship programme. Unless you plan to pursue a professional practice (i.e. become a licensed psychologist), I don't think you have anything to worry about! The only programs that appear to really need accreditation are programs that allow students to become a professional counselling/clinical psychologist. These programs allow their students to "legally provide psychological services to the public." Otherwise, any other psychology graduate program will still be okay for you to pursue a PhD with!

Jay's Brain Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 so what CAN you do after your ph.d at a non-accredited program? A non-accredited program is the same as any other PhD program is it not? That's a question for anyone who has the mindset of pursuing a doctorate (Academia, postdoctoral fellowship, research/work in the private sector, governmental organizations, etc)
LebaneseKafta Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 People who applied to uOttawa, contact your POIs they should unofficially know by now if you will get an offer or not! My POI just let me know that I will be getting one
