gemnerd Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Hey, would anyone who has received an email from Ryerson be willing to PM me their POI? Not trying to be nosey, I just want to know if I'm still in the running. So stressful!!

I don't believe so, I've heard York tends to send out invitations in late Jan/ early Feb... and after their recent incident (accidentally sent out 500 incorrect acceptance letters to students applying for undergrad) I imagine it might even take longer!
Randomhopeful7 Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Heard from Uvic. Invited to open house Feb 18 or 19
TKYU Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Still waiting to hear back from Western, UBC, Lakehead, UTSC, and Regina...

Generic_Applicant Posted January 18, 2016 Author Posted January 18, 2016 I am wondering if anyone has any insight into this- I know at UTSC, it has to be a unanimous decision among core faculty members for someone to get an offer. Is the process similar at Ryerson and UWO or is it more so if your POI thinks you're a good fit and recommends you, you are basically in?
clinicalapplicant Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Hi there! I'm a student in the Clinical Psychology program at Ryerson. Please feel free to ask me any questions about admissions, the process, etc... and I can definitely try my best to answer. Drop me a PM if you're not comfortable posting in the thread 1 hour ago, Generic_Applicant said: I am wondering if anyone has any insight into this- I know at UTSC, it has to be a unanimous decision among core faculty members for someone to get an offer.

From what I know of Ryerson, I think if your POI wants you, you're fine UNLESS there are some serious objections from other faculty members. But generally I would say your POI recommending you is enough to get you in. It's more a matter of whether or not they get a spot for a student than anything else really. This year there are way more professors wanting students than there are spots available. Piagetsky 1

Generic_Applicant Posted January 19, 2016 Author Posted January 19, 2016 Could the poster for Ryerson interview day please PM me! Have a few questions Thanks!!
Generic_Applicant Posted January 20, 2016 Author Posted January 20, 2016 Has anyone heard back from (or know someone who has heard back from) UTSC following an interview or about interview weekend? Just a little worried since it is supposed to be this Sunday, from what I understand.
Anhedonia Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) Has anyone heard from UVic? Or know what the status on sending out invites etc? Edited January 20, 2016 by Anhedonia
clinicalapplicant Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 All Ryerson interview invites have now officially gone out. If you didn't receive one, please don't lose hope and consider applying next year. This process is way more about the school than the applicants. I got into Ryerson on my third try so keep moving forward

Could they be right?!? Coz I'm in the same boat

Just echoing what clinicalapplicant said, with a big emphasis on your POI actually getting a spot for a student. I'm also happy to try to answer any Ryerson-related questions (also feel free to PM). Good luck to all! Edited January 21, 2016 by when
Piagetsky Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I hate to ask this, but to the person who posted a result from Ottawa, was the notification from the grad school or from someone within the psychology department? Did they update your InfoWeb account? GL on the rest of your apps!
Canadian_Applicant` Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 To the posters wondering about Ryerson, I had an in-person interview with my POI on Tuesday, and he said that the only reason he was doing interviews prior to February 1 (the interview day) was because he wouldn't be there. I'm fairly certain that all interview invites have gone out, and most of them will take place at the interview day.

I had a Skype interview recently too but not sure if I should be hearing back about Interview Day if I've made it to the next phase. My POI made it seem like it was a day for people to get familiar with the campus and if I wanted he would just schedule some time to show me around himself. So confused..
FacelessMage Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I just saw that someone posted a result from Saskatchewan. Can that person please PM me with the name of your POI? I'm starting to feel like I won't be getting any interviews at all this year....

Honestly, don't worry about it. I think it's OK if you don't attend as it'd be weird to have several people there who are interviewing for the first time mixing with apparent "second round" interviews (which are only a thing with the DCT, again not everyone who gets into the program has an interview with her).

I would definitely go if I got an invite I'm just confused whether it is a next step or not to get that invite and a bit confused at the ryerson rejection that was posted. TIme will tell I guess !
Generic_Applicant Posted January 22, 2016 Author Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Emailed admin person at UTSC to ask about this weekend and was told "you will not be participating in the interview weekend but your application is still under consideration" whatever that means... :/ Edited January 22, 2016 by Generic_Applicant
