LebaneseKafta Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 I'm a clinical student at uOttawa, just FYI they processed apps late this year so most POIs only STARTING to send out invites/looking at apps for formal interviews around this time so makes sense that automatic decline based on GPA cuttoffs would also start being updated around this time as well. If anyone has any qs about the program or specific POIs let me know! Good luck! Piagetsky 1
PhD_Wannabe01 Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 I'm on the same boat as @Generic_Applicant. I also applied to the UofWO as well as the University of Saskatchewan. Has anyone heard back from these schools?
Generic_Applicant Posted January 24, 2016 Author Posted January 24, 2016 3 hours ago, LabyrinthianMind said: I haven't heard from UWO yet. The deadline was Jan 5th and there's only two faculty members accepting students, so I'd imagine it will be a while before they start contacting people! I'm also waiting to hear from McGill and Concordia, any news on these schools? The number of faculty accepting seems to have changed a lot during the process. Do you know when their interview weekend is?

Do you know when their interview weekend is? Students who are short-listed will be invited to an Interview Day. Interview Day will be held on Friday, February 5, 2016. If you are short-listed you will be contacted via email shortly after January 21st. Found this about UWO on their website.

I've heard nothing from Saskatchewan, but I saw that someone posted a result there (they were contacted for an interview last week for this weekend). I don't know what to think. Last time I interviewed at Saskatchewan they contacted me the first week of February.

Also, good to hear that the faculty accepting has changed. I thought I remembered seeing that 4 faculty members were accepting, but when I looked today I saw 2... strange. Last year, a number of faculty at York told me they were accepting before the deadline but then said after that they weren't (not that they couldn't). Really turned me off to york. I really hope the same kind of thing doesn't happen with uwo. :/

Well....glad I didn't apply there then, as the prof I wanted to work with is apparently no longer accepting students. It would have been a waste of $100!

waitingishard Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Someone posted that they got a rejection from the UBC clinical masters program by email, but I didn't get that email. I had actually emailed the grad coordinator the same day it says the rejection email was from, and was told they were still evaluating applications and I should know if I'm selected for an interview in the next 2 weeks. Anyone know what this means? Good, bad?
jackiexls Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Has anyone gotten interviews at Calgary yet? If so, would you mind PMing me who you POI is?
Generic_Applicant Posted January 25, 2016 Author Posted January 25, 2016 Someone got an invite for UWO on Jan 18.. ? Sorry, I'm watching like a hawk and questioning everything! lol. If you could PM me, that would be great!
FacelessMage Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Just got an official rejection from Simon Fraser.

Generic_Applicant Posted January 26, 2016 Author Posted January 26, 2016 I'm going to assume rejection (or in the very least not short-listed, which is basically the same thing) from UWO
v.clinpsy Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 I wouldn't be so sure about Western... I haven't heard of anyone getting an interview yet, have you? I emailed, I'll let you know what they say.
c3marsha Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Any news from McGill, Concordia or Ottawa? Haven't seen much being posted

I emailed as well. I'll let you know if I hear back as well!
v.clinpsy Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 kay so current grad students have been told about interview day at Western... so it is possible that we only get a 1 week notice... if not... then bye!
Just_Waiting Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Does anyone else feel like interview requests are going out insanely late this year? The waiting is torture...has anyone heard from York, Queen's, Guelph or Western? I had an interview at Ryerson, but nothing since then. Edited January 27, 2016 by Just_Waiting
Generic_Applicant Posted January 27, 2016 Author Posted January 27, 2016 Amen!! ^ This Topic has been so quiet! I've only heard from utsc and ryerson so far.
Just_Waiting Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Also, in case anyone was wondering, Guelph's interview day is Friday, January 5th (same as Western)
Generic_Applicant Posted January 27, 2016 Author Posted January 27, 2016 Has anyone else emailed their POI about western and if invites have been sent out? Mine just said the committee met last week and they should get in touch soon (this was over the weekend). But he isn't on the list of accepting faculty anymore so not sure..
v.clinpsy Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Oh god guelph and western on the same day! I haven't heard anything from either yet... this will be interesting.
