Got waitlisted on 4/9

IGNORE STATUS - To the person who received their acceptance on April 11, did you get the infamous recommendation of acceptance before April 1st, or was the April 11 email your first sign?

No research experience, multiple internships/conference presentations

This program is an MA. I first received an email claiming that "applicant did not respond to interview emails" on 03/25/25. When I responded that this was incorrect (with receipts to this claim) and asked for an explanation, the program did not acknowledge it, but simply sent me an email (03/30/25) inviting me to interview on 04/01/25. I politely refused the offer.

I am not sure if the PI decided not take any students. I didn’t hear anyone interview or get accepted.

Email to check the portal. Canadian in province.

Waiting on funding offer, if I receive funding I will accept

If you're GPA is a tad lower and isn't a perfect 4.0 don't worry too much. As long as you have like 3-5 research experiences that match with the faculty you're interested in or show a narrative that supports a growing passion in that topic I think you can do well during application season, especially if you're applying to PSYD programs, I got accepted to quite a few so I'll just add this comment under my postings from this season, because I remember being very scared about my undergrad GPA when applying.
