Oh boo. Nothing from Ryerson yet :( 

But congrats to you!! :) 

I've heard nothing yet either. Apparently it's done by individual POI. My friend was saying that her supervisor had already finished interviewing new students, while others hadn't even contacted applicants yet.

Yeah, last year I think I got my invite mid-Jan. So not at hope is lost yet!

Does UTSC ever admit Americans? I'm really interested in the clinical program, but it doesn't seem like they admit many non-Canadians (judging by the lab websites)

It probably depends on the POI. I went to UTSC for my undergrad and met a couple of international psych grad students

The UTSC program is pretty brand new seeing that it's only been around for about 3 years. So far there hasn't been any international students (that I know of), but this past cohort I believe 2 of the 5 were from UTSC.

There's hope of course!

I know it's still early yet, but it's so discouraging knowing that over half the schools I've applied to have sent out interview invites and I've received nothing. It feels like all the work I've put into improving my application over the last year means nothing.

Don't be too hard on yourself! You're absolutely right, it's still early yet - you may be surprised :) The Canadian schools, at least, are only beginning to reach out to potential students. Stay positive!

Got an email from UTSC for Skype interview with my POI. Wewt

Congrats!

I also applied to UTSC and was wondering if the invite to the SKYPE interview was sent by your POI or by the graduate admissions. Asking since I received an interview invite at SFU sent by the grad admissions (they sent out an mass invite). If the UTSC invite was sent by the POI it still gives me hope.

Thanks!

Hey! It was sent by the admin person. I am told that the POI will get in touch with me to work out the date for the interview. 

Someone got a similar invite a day or two ago so they may not be doing them all at once. So I wouldnt fully lose hope!

Thanks for the info and the reassurance! Fingers crossed something transpires and good luck to you : )

Heard a rumor from a friend in the Ryerson program and she said that some professors are submitting their candidates on Tuesday and the department will e-mail out interviews. This is apparently for February 1st, they're doing an interview day or a visit day or something. Some people will be interviewed earlier (i.e. in January) while a lot of applicants will be interviewed for the first time on February 1st.

I got my invite for Skype interview from POI there just last night. Interview is for Monday. I am not sure that they will submit as early as next Tuesday but I could be wrong.

Their website though says that all interview invites will be sent out by January 15. It's very confusing...

Sorry, maybe I wasn't being clear. I don't mean they're submitting their picks for acceptances, I meant they're submitting a list of students they would like to interview to the department on Tuesday. 

Your POI may be one who isn't doing interviews on February 1st, so s/he wouldn't need to worry about that deadline.

I applied to UVic and York --- haven't heard from back from either of them yet!

York's Open House for Clinical is Friday, February 13th so still some time if you haven't heard back yet!
