coffeelover2317 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 It was the MA, but she also said that if you are rejected from the MA (because of not finding an available supervisor), if you meet the minimum requirements you are accepted into the M.Ed which is in the same stream... :/ not sure how I feel about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I still haven't received a letter from OISE for SCCP, does it mean that I am currently on the wait list automatically? Or there is elsewhere that I can get an update of status from? I emailed admissions asking if all acceptance letters have been mailed out, and they said applicants should receive an official response in March either way. Nevertheless, it's not looking good for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superfruitpsych - Congrats to your friend! That is awesome. All of the people I met at interviews were absolutely amazing, so I am confident in saying she deserves it! If you don't mind my asking, did she apply to the Clinical Psych PhD or MA? Does she think she'll accept? FacelessMage - If I hear anything about the wait-list or rejections, I will be sure to post about it here. I do know there is a wait-list, but I do not know anything about the size or likelihood of anyone being accepted from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFUFTW Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 So I just received an email from the University of Ottawa saying: Please contact Professor ___________________ concerning your admission application to our Counselling Psychology program. She would like to get in contact with you, her email address is: __________________. Not sure if we are supposed to name people here, so I won't do that - but such an interesting way to get in touch!

Congrats! I am sure this means good news. I applied to the MEd program but have yet to hear back. In contacting the school I was informed that I likely won’t hear back from them until the end of April.

PhDPLZ Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Does anyone know why at certain schools some people have been rejected and accepted and then there is me just waiting in the dark!? lockman86 and prospectclin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeezKnees Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 58 minutes ago, PhDPLZ said: Does anyone know why at certain schools some people have been rejected and accepted and then there is me just waiting in the dark!? I think it's because the first round offers have gone out. But, if some of them decline their offers then a lot of schools move onto the next round of profs who are able to interview and accept. So if someone's been rejected it means they've either been rejected by all of their listed POIs or they don't meet the school requirements. If they've been accepted it means they're among the first round of offers. Everyone else is kind of in-between because they haven't been rejected by all of their POIs but they do technically meet the minimum requirements. So until the school's spaces have been filled, they can't technically reject everyone who's qualified unless they've been officially denied by all their POIs. Don't give up hope! Last year I got an extra interview around this time, and this year I was asked to interview (and interviewed) yesterday for another school. Until you're rejected there's still a bit of hope! prospectclin and FluffyPancakes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be on a few wait-lists like BeezKnees said. Not all school tell you that you have been wait-listed. You could politely inquire about your application status to your professor of interest or the admissions team. I wrote an email expressing my continued interest in the program and professor as well as asking about my status. I was promptly told I was on a wait-list. I hope that helps! Good luck!
