researchjunkie Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 oh my goodness friends I know. it's so hard to wait when you want something so bad or just even need to know.... there's something that's been super helpful for me: radical acceptance (from DBT for all you therapy nerds out there ) This resource has been super awesome for me to just remain positive and just accept that things are the way they are until I know! http://www.dbtselfhelp.com/html/radical_acceptance_part_1.html Hope it's helpful you guys too!

I'm not sure if you are referring to a specific school, but almost all of the schools that I applied to needed 3 references right from the beginning. But no one ever asked me for additional references beyond what they stated in the guidelines... Guelph did allow you to submit as many references as you wanted though!

Tricky though if you're not able to contact them.. maybe give them a phone call and note that it's urgent! Hopefully they get back to you prospectclin 1
HappyLab Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 If anyone is currently having a difficult time making a decision about which school is best for them... please PM me. I'm going crazy over here making pros and cons lists...

I hope you get in touch with them- it sucks having to track people down for references!

superfruitpsych Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Congrats to the person who got waitlisted at SFU for the PHD program! Would you please mind sending me your POI? Also does anyone know the difference between MA/PHD for this program? I was under the impression it was combined.

PurpleTurtles Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Has anyone heard anything from Ryerson since the interview day? I'm seriously going crazy waiting, and it's taking everything to not email my POI!

I'm seriously going crazy waiting, and it's taking everything to not email my POI! i didn't interview at ryerson but i don't think it would be the worst thing to contact your POI thanking them for their time etc. i wouldnt explicitly ask about the status of your application but it might help you to hear back sooner? (assuming you haven't already done this)

I'm wondering if I should email the graduate coordinator on Friday (if there is still no news) to ask about a general timeline or maybe that isn't wise... Edited February 15, 2017 by psychedupupup
psych123456 Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 has anyone heard anything at all from OISE SCCP?

js.psych Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 For SCCP (and UofT/OISE) in general, don't pay attention to your application status on the SGS website because it doesn't mean anything. It never gets updated after being "under review". I know people in the program who still have application statuses that say "under review". I was also recently accepted to a UofT program and my application status never changed. So don't lose hope based on that. It's still a bit early for SCCP, they should probably start contacting people soon (I anticipate within the next week-two weeks), though it could differ for each POI.
