wishful.thinking reacted to SoundofSilence in Politely sending reminders for reference letter to professor over the holidays?
Yes, if you haven't been bugging them every day, you should definitely send a reminder.
I agree with JoePianist - faculty committees are more lenient when it comes to one of their own
However, do ask if your letter writer has received the appropriate links to access the platform etc., just in case it's a technical thing or the notification is in spam (especially if they have already submitted the others letters).
Best of luck!

I agree with M246. In most cases, if the letter writer makes a submission after the deadline, admissions committees still accept it without penalty on the student applicant.

I would still send out an email to the professor. If you have already spoken to him about submitting a letter, a polite reminder should be fine. The sooner you send it today, the higher his chances of seeing the email. I am not sure about late submissions though. Hope this helps!

wishful.thinking reacted to Jay's Brain in Non-psychology degree pursuing PhD in Counselling Psych (in Canada)?
Hey, I'm not sure where in Canada you are, but I don't think it's that rare to find a program that doesn't require a psychology degree. Take a look at the Masters in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy at OISE for example - the requirements only ask for a 4 year program, of any discipline: http://www.oise.utoronto.ca/aphd/Home/Future_Students/Master_s_Degrees/MEd_Counselling_Psychotherapy/index.html
Even if you're not in Toronto, you should connect with the graduate programs to see whether your experience will allow for your application to be considered.
