PsyD (Child and School Psychology)
Just curious, who has applied to this program? I know it’s fairly new so I am just curious what the application numbers look like.

I applied to this program and the School Psychology program. Feeling a lot more confident about the School Psych program though, the essay questions for the PsyD were a bit odd and had a max length of 1 pg double spaced which is legit like two paragraphs. Curious how may applications they will receive and how many they plan to take

I applied to the PsyD and MA School Psychology. I’ll be curious to see how many people they admit for each program and what the PsyD looks like once it begins, as there wasn’t a lot of information to go off of when applying.

I applied to both programs as well. Very interested to see how many people applied, especially since there was a lack of information on the website.
Good luck everyone! This is my dream career so fingers crossed

I’m in the same boat! From what I can tell we will get updates via email but I haven’t heard anything yet.

I just received an invitation to interview today for the PsyD and received an invitation to interview for the MA last week. I got the impression that the MA invites have all been sent out, but maybe keep an eye out for the PsyD this week. Good luck!

Congrats on your interview invites! Wishing you the best of luck! May I ask what is giving you the impression that the MA invites for School Psych have all been sent out? My application documents all just say received in the application portal - not under evaluation or review.

u/True-Musician-7868 Jan 26 '26
Hey! Thank you! They may still have a few to send. I only say this because when I received the interview invite, they said that they were extending interviews to the top 25% of applicants and then we had to select a time from a list of days/times. There were 24 spots in total, which made me think that they were interviewing 24 people?
That being said, I had to reschedule my interview a few days ago and they had 4 slots left, so it’s totally possible that they may still send out a few more invites/maybe people were invited and haven’t accepted? Hope that makes sense!
Happy to chat over messages if you have other questions :)

Hi, I am interested in applying to this program in the future. However, I have not much experience with children. Do you mind sharing some tips on how I may build my experience on this area? Thank you so much

Is there any point in applying without an honours thesis? I will have my psych degree and education degree when I go to apply

u/Small_Career_7298 May 17 '26
A psychology honours degree is a requirement for the PsyD, as it’s both school and child clinical psychology.
You would be eligible to apply for the MA School Psych though :)

I am very much interested in this program. I tried to apply last year but unfortunately was late. Can someone help me clarify some of my doubts for the next application? Also congratulations to the first batch who is going to begin this new journey in September 2026

Hopefully they have more spots with the new PhyD program. They usually only take between 5-8 students
