  1. I'm applying for the two-year MSW program at U of T. Do you know anything about what the deal is with the thesis? The other programs I'm applying for just give you either a thesis route or coursework route and that's what you apply for, but from my understanding, U of T only does that once you're already in?
  2. Hey! I know it's been MONTHS since you posted this but I'm in the process of applying for schools so I'm just stumbling on threads now. If you're still interested in the topic, I'm applying for the MA in counselling psych at SFU. A bit about me: I have a BA from SFU in psychology (finished in 2014), about 5-6 years of frontline experience in shelters, etc., and my CGPA was 3.4 (and 3.7 or so in my final two years). That's the only MA program I'm applying for. The rest are MSW. I went to the info session and they said that usually successful applicants have about 2 years of volunteer or work experience in the field (crisis line is one of the best experiences you can have for these programs apparently), so keep that in mind too! I can't speak to the professors and experiences of that particular program because I'm just applying now but it does have a good reputation and I did my undergrad at SFU and loved it! It's a really good school with a lot of amazing professors and tons of options and opportunities if you're willing to move out to Raincouver. I didn't do an honours (I did a directed studies in my final semester instead) but I have heard time and again that an honours can only help your chances (and for some programs, it's a necessity). I haven't applied for OISE but I have heard that it is a really great program. I didn't look into it so I don't have any other insight unfortunately. Hope something in there helps! Good luck
  3. I've heard U of T has a pretty clinical program and I've heard similar things about UBC. I'm in the same non-BSW boat so UBC Vancouver doesn't have that option until 2020 or 2021, but UBC Okanagan is accepting apps for Fall 2018. I'm not sure if there are differences between the UBC and UBC-O programs but it's worth looking into!
  4. Hey all! It's my first time posting here, so hi! I did my BA in psychology (finished in 2014) and have been doing frontline work full time since then. I ultimately want to go into counselling but I've heard that the MSW route has way more options than an MA in counselling psych. I have applied for the 2 year MSW programs at University of Calgary and University of Toronto, and I'm working on my apps for the MSW at UBC Okanagan and the MA in counselling psych at SFU. Anybody have any info on these programs? Good luck everyone!
