FluffyPancakes Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Could the person that heard from UBCO let me know if it was an interview with your PI or an official interview weekend invite by the school? Just wondering if official invites are already out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piagetsky Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I see that there's been nothing from Concordia, and we all know OISE is later in the game. Has anyone heard from Calgary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psy_duckling Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Hi, I'm new to this forum as well! Second round of applications this year and it's not looking good already I've seen on the admission page that people received Interview invites to Concordia for the 25-26th of January. If you're like me and didn't receive anything, I'd assume rejection...pretty bummed out that this is happening twice in a row for me tbh I've applied to Concordia, McGill clinical, UBC, Western so far, and I haven't heard anything from anyone anyone in the same boat? Also applying to psychiatry at McGill and to french schools in Montreal. Considering giving up and going into another field despite all the efforts...Very tough to be an international applicant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a former international applicant, I understand completely. I found out after I got here that due to funding, no matter how stellar you are as international applicant, it's hard to overcome the fact that the school basically has to pay twice as much for a proper funding package for an international student as for a domestic one. Any chances you can immigrate to Canada first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect to hear back closer to February if you’re invited to interview. Also, I mentioned this earlier in the thread, I believe the Concordia interview days are just for a small number of faculty members (5-6?), and everyone else conducts their interviews throughout February. Finally, I believe McGill tends to be later as well. I know it’s hard, but don’t give up yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still hoping to get into the french clinical programs in town because it seems funding isn't as much of an issue but we'll see Congrats on getting in ! I hope there's still hope for Concordia then!

Psy_duckling Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Hey everyone, Just a question for previous or current applicants: What do you think about the PsyD degree? Universite de Montreal is my top choice right now because they offer that degree and it is accredited (but in french only), but I'm wondering if it's a good idea to go for a PsyD instead of PhD in terms of career prospects etc. Is anyone pursuing a PsyD here by any chance?

Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place I work at a Psychology Centre and two of our clinicians have Psy.Ds. They are from the states and Austrailia, so I’m not sure about the Canadian programs, BUT they are awesome alternatives. They focus less on research and more on clinical work, and are actually shorter. The only thing I would suggest is making sure that all of the requirement meet what you need to register with the appropriate college Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
