[Ottawa, Ontario]

I recently accepted an offer of admission to The University of Ottawa’s MEd program in Counselling Psychology.

Im really excited to move to Ottawa, but was a little shocked to see how expensive the housing is around the university. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where to find affordable but safe and decently nice housing in downtown Ottawa? Or, if anyone is in the same boat as me, and is a female graduate student in any program looking for a roommate in Ottawa, personal message me to see if we would possibly be a good fit to room together as to make the cost of living a bit more affordable

So I just received an email from the University of Ottawa saying:

 

Please contact Professor ___________________ concerning your admission application to our Counselling Psychology program. She would like to get in contact with you, her email address is: __________________. 

 

Not sure if we are supposed to name people here, so I won't do that - but such an interesting way to get in touch! 

 

Congrats! I am sure this means good news. 

I applied to the MEd program but have yet to hear back. In contacting the school I was informed that I likely won’t hear back from them until the end of April. Don’t know how I can wait that long haha

Thanks for the clarification. Which program did you get accepted into though? Congrats!

the first round of acceptance packages are being sent out in the mail right now. applicants have three weeks (or six if you're international) to accept an offer for an OISE program, or else it's revoked. my package had March 1st as the offer date so i guess March 21st is the first deadline. after that, students on the waitlist will probably contacted if there are leftover spots

Which program was this referring to? Counselling and Clinical (MA) or Counselling and Psychotherapy (MEd)? Thanks

I’ve applied to York MSW, U of T OISE Master’s of Education in Counselling and Psychotherapy, and U of Ottawa Master’s of Education in Counselling Psychology 

I’ll definitely post when I hear back from schools

hi everyone!

I recently sent in my application for OISE’s MEd Counselling and Psychotherapy program and plan on applying to Ottawa’s Counselling MEd program as well. My anxiety has been and will be through the roof until springtime when the rejection/acceptance letters are mailed out!!!

My GPA in my fourth year was 3.7, with my cumulative GPA being around 3.6. Following completing my Honors BA, I took a post-graduate certificate at Humber College in Mental Health, and I also have volunteer experience at various hospitals, as well as at mental health organizations. I think my references are strong but I still can’t take the agony of waiting this long!!!

Does anyone have any insight as to the acceptance process in either of these programs? Does anyone previously accepted to either of these programs care to share their GPA’s and relevant work/volunteer experiences?
