I also got my letter this morning, I didn't get in. Good luck everyone!

That's what I've been thinking too. No changes on Loris for me either...

thanks for letting us know! my stomach is in knots now! can you tell us a bit about yourself and your background?

I have been accepted to Yorkville! I have a friend from work who just graduated and is now working in a hospital in BC doing counselling and she really enjoyed it. I didn't apply to Athabasca - if my memory is correct, they wanted you to do 3 wks on campus in AB and it would have been very difficult for me to manage that!

Which Masters of Counselling Psych programs have you applied to? I've been accepted to one already!

2 months ? That seems like such a long time!! I'm glad you followed up with them directly though. Thanks for sharing the update!

Hi Everyone! I'm glad I searched for this group, I have been following the 2018 group. I've applied to and am waiting to hear back from Laurier for their 2 year online MSW starting in January. I'm a new mom so online is definitely what would work best at this point! I'm really excited. I didn't realize how competitive the program is until after I had applied, which has made me a bit nervous.I was accepted to a MACP program already but am hoping for Laurier. I've been obsessively checking my email and LORIS account daily but am expecting the wait to stretch into the fall. I've got about about 5.5 years' experience as a case manager (women's shelters, mental health, addictions, EAPs). My background is an Honours BA in psychology, a post graduate program (Concurrent Disorders), a written thesis, and experience presenting and performing my own research as well as working in a lab. I'm not sure how to calculate a GPA but I was well above the minimum requirements. I know I had excellent recommendation letters from psychologists I work with. I really hope we hear soon!

Anyone else waiting to hear from Laurier for a Jan 2019 part time/online start? Any word on when we can expect acceptances?

I've also been working with Monica, she contacted me within minutes of downloading the program brochure online and asked me a bunch of questions to make sure I met their requirements and program minimums. All of my forms have been submitted as of last week as well and she told me that we can expect to hear "within September or earlier" in regards to a decision.

Was this the entry date you applied to? Was it for online/part time or Full time? Edit: when did you finish your application package, can you share a bit about your background?

How did you find out the number of applicants? I was told that the class size for Jan 2019 would be about 40 students. Thanks!
