That's what I had heard as well, and was worried about. It's 45 people in one class for the year, and there aren't many counselling psychology programs in Ontario other than the one at Western so I was wondering why it was being difficult to find work! :/ PHD's are having a hard time finding work? But aren't you a certified psychologist with an Edd? And I though that was the creme de la creme of job search, I guess I was wrong, lol.

Thank you for that! Would you happen to have insight on the MeD program at OISE? I've heard that it's difficult to find work after, and that a lot of people end up working part time for Kids Help Phone!

Hello! I'm a third year recently thinking of going into Psychology! I know that counsellors and therapists are mandated with a CCPA for which we need an MeD? And with an MA, one is called a psychological associate and with a Phd a psychologist. Can you call yourself a psychologist with an EdD? I wanted to ask you for insight from your experiences: 1) Which route did you decide to take? Why? 2) Do you like to work in research? Is research only necessary for the MA route? 3) Is it easier to find a job with one or another? 4) If you had advice for a young person going into psychology, what would it be? 5) Do you like what you are doing now? Thank you!

Hi! Thank you for that information! They say they only see the GPA for the last year of undergrad? Is that actually true? Would you happen to know?

This is my first time posting here, and I wanted to ask about the MeD degree in Counselling Psychology: http://www.oise.utoronto.ca/aphd/Prospective_Students/Programs/Counselling_Psychology/Program_Overview/MEd(CE)/index.html Minimum Admission Requirements An appropriate bachelor’s degree of any background or discipline, with a grade equivalent to a University of Toronto B+ or better in the final year, from a recognized university. At least one year of relevant experience. I'm studying at McGill - I was doing Honours International Development and Political science for two years. But I've been working as an RA and I think I would really love to be a counsellor. So I dropped political science and am trying Psychology now. My GPA is exactly 3.3 but I wonder if 3 years of RA-ing will be okay for experience? I have two more years and so I want to ask what I should focus on? Getting more support experience or making my GPA higher? Have you gotten in to the program, do you know of anyone who has? What was their GPA? Any insight would be great! Hope you have a great day.
