I think it would be useful for everyone to get a sense throughout the process what are the chances that they may get accepted off of a waiting list! My top choices are Queen's, Ryerson, and Western. I've also applied to Calgary and Manitoba.

2016PsycApplicant Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Those who have interviewed for Clinical Masters programs...any common questions? Any specific questions for people that have interviewed at Windsor?

Any specific questions for people that have interviewed at Windsor? I can't speak for most schools, because it does vary by PI to PI, but it was a pretty relaxed conversation from my experience with Windsor. I've communicated with two prospective PIs in the past, and they were friendly, provided me with information about their research and what their students were all currently doing. There was a lot of promoting of the program as much as it was trying to get to know you as a potential applicant. Expect the general questions asking about your research interests and what you hope to achieve from your graduate degree. I would say to also ask them more about the development of their program, and the opportunities available doing practicum in Canada and the US, since they are so close to the border. I know there is also an opportunity to be invited to an Open House, but I did not attend that so cannot give you more information than that! Edited January 25, 2017 by Jay's Brain

I applied to SFU (clinical-forensic), Ryerson, and Guelph (both Clinical). My top choice was SFU, but unfortunately I received a rejection yesterday.
Gossamer Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Did anyone hear back from Waterloo? I had a preliminary Skype interview with my POI back in early January and she said they would send out invites for a second interview around this time.

That is awesome! Don't be ashamed... I did my own research of which professor I could slyly talk to while at that conference... felt a bit creepy but also slightly like a spy, so essentially just pretty cool. I'm curious who your POI is! Message me? (Maybe we are waiting on the same person!) prospectclin 1
teds2 Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 I have applied to Ryerson, UTSC, York and OISE. My top choices are York and OISE!
PhDPLZ Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Contacted by my POI from Windsor for interview

Current-Grad Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 For those who mentioned Guelph, interview invites are going out on Friday! Good luck to all of you, this is a brutal process for sure. Sabr_Shukr 1

Apparently it's because of the glitches they've been having with the new system. Documents were not appearing as received and things like that. My application status online had previously said incomplete and it was missing my transcripts but I checked after I received that email and it's been changed to showing my transcripts have been received with status "under evaluation". due to all the issues I'm assuming their admissions process will likely be delayed.

Generic_Applicant Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Why are people so secretive about their POIs...

Generic_Applicant Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Fair enough. But we're all anonymized here no? How would they know who's talking about them..? What am I missing.. Also, does anyone know if all interview invites for Ryerson have gone out? Should I let go of the hope like I did with UTSC?

Yes, but if you have only sent out invites for a few people you can take an educated guess. I think people just prefer to be cautious I also believe interviews for Ryerson have gone out, but I may be mistaken (I applied as well but have not received an interview :'( )

I'm in the same boat as you! This is my third time applying to Ryerson and I got interviews last two years. Third time is definitely not a charm for me! lol Oh well *shrug*
