An Academic advisor that I talked to at a university in BC last year told me that even though I have a BA and MA in Psychology I would not be accepted for the MA in couseling because the pre requisites they require and I have in my transcripts are ' too old'. Then, she gave me en email of a former African MA student who dropped out, recommending me to ask him why( VERY weird!!)
Then, a few months later, applying for ht MA program I submitted the pre requisites transcripts and my file was accepted to enter the competition and is now " under review".
I am not accusing anyone of anything but...i had a slight impression that maybe there was a pint of....discrimination coming from that person? ( I have South American background( Brazil) but I am Canadian). What do you think? Maybe its not after all.
