My status says "Under Evaluation", but has anyone heard or do they know when the open house/interviews are? Expand On 1/9/2017 at 7:11 PM, Neposydko said: Same for me. They were still finalizing their collection of documents and organizing them I believe, as I have received an email today about my intent letter. Expand I met with a POI in November and they told me that Ottawa U does not do formal interviews for admissions. They said that if I don't receive an email directly from them by mid January to set up an "informal interview", then I wouldn't be accepted. Last year my rejection came at the beginning of March.

I was hoping a few of you could share how many schools you've applied to in order to give me an idea of the number for the typical Canadian student. Thanks! Expand I applied to three, but from my understanding this is quite unusual as applicants typically apply to many more (unfortunately most POIs that I was interested in applying to were not accepting this year). I assume he/she is trying to determine how many offers you are likely to receive. Especially if you have a very competitive application!

My first year I applied to 3. Second year, 13. Third year, 22. This year, 14. I think it really depends on what a person's research interests are and if there are POIs that have similar interests.

PsychGrad17 Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Hey! ? I'm an international applicant. I applied to 1 Canadian school - Western . The rest are in the states. I really love Western's MSc. Clinical Psychology program, I'm looking forward to hearing from them. Anyone else applied there?

I don't think there is a 'typical' number though- it all depends on how many schools are a good fit, finances, geographic limitations, etc. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
