No interview

Had an interview and then months later was notified of rejection via status update on application portal.

Got waitlisted on 4/9

Received a general rejection letter from the Academic Services Administrator.

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

Expected rejection because no interview but they said their acceptance rate this cycle was 2%... which is kind of crazy. Didn't think getting into these programs would be harder than medical school...

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.

Rejected after interview

Application forwarded by admissions to graduate program February 28, email received inviting me to interview March 28, interview to occur in person April 24.

I got an email to check the portal. The decision letter said it was really hard to decide. They said they keep the information if I reapply next year and seemed to allude to strengthening my application. I barely have research experience, so that is probably where I will be focusing my energy.

Canadian applicant. Hold a master's in Psychology related field. Disappointing, but no interview so this was expected. Congratulations to those who were accepted!
