WolfBlass Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Hi there, I'm new to this forum but I just found out I've been waitlisted for Ottawa U - does anyone have any advice/thoughts on the waitlist process and how likely admission is when your waitlisted? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Can I ask how you found out your application status? Thanks!:) I unfortunately don’t have any advice as it’s my first round of applications, but have hope! This is of course better than a rejection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anything happen to change on your online portal? Also if you are comfortable could you message me the initials of your POI? Sorry, I also don't know anything about waitlists.

Executive-D Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) I received an email March 1st saying I have been accepted to uOttawa Clinical Psychology! Email came from someone in the department, saying a formal offer from the Faculty will follow. In case anyone is wondering, at this time my admissions file still says "Under Evaluation" Edited March 3, 2018 by Executive-D Neurophilic and brainiac6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laur479 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Hi everyone! I’m hoping for some advice… I had applied to the M.A.(Ed) Counselling Psychology at Ottawa and was informed via e-mail that I was not accepted to that program, but was instead being offered a spot in the M.Ed. Course based program in Counselling Psychology. This program does not involve a research component and it is not possible to pursue a PhD with it, but I’ve been told that transferring to the M.A. program at a later date is a possibility. I remain cautious about taking a gamble on that though. Also, according to their website, the PhD program in Counselling Psychology is currently suspended, which also worries me. I was hoping to gather any advice or insights that people would be willing to share on this situation. Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally wouldn't pursue it if you know that you want to do a PhD in the future, given both the fact it's course-based and there's currently no PhD option.

I was interviewed at Concordia and my POI has recommended me for admission but I am still waiting for an official decision. I was also invited to interview at UQAM and UdeS, both of which are in a few weeks from now. I know UQTR doesn't do interviews, so all that's left is UdeM. Has anyone heard from UdeM for the PsyD or PhD (adult clinical)? Best of luck to everyone! Hi, Would you mind sharing the initials of your POI?

Hey, thanks so much for the response! I definitely agree that it does not come off as a very appealing option... If anyone is at uOttawa or happens to knows what's going with their PhD program in Counselling Psychology currently being suspended, I would really appreciate hearing from you. Thanks!

hbz_13 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 For anyone who's been accepted already, does it make a bad first impression if you don't receive any external funding awards? Or is that a normal thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
