My university just announced mixed delivery for fall. Some smaller classes may still be in-person. Curious to see what this will mean for my program.

To add onto what some other people have said, you may eventually need to take undergraduate psychology courses anyways, so it may be worth your while to take them before committing to a master's. For example, I'm in Alberta and the CPA requires some undergraduate courses to register as a Psychologist. You can take them at the graduate level, but they would be extra to your degree.

What about if you were offered for a couple schools and declined the one you were not attending? Is there any benefit to adding the declined offer there or would it just be redundant?

Awesome Thanks for the reply.

Can anyone (in Canada) who received SHHRC CGS-M confirm that this is *not* taxable income? Thank you!

That is so disheartening. I can't imagine having an acceptance and then having it taken away.

As a doctoral level registered psychologist, yes. At least in my province (AB) there is very high demand, particularly for PhD level practitioners.

I think the biggest thing for me is that I'm really exited to meet my cohort, and that wouldn't be so easy if everything moves online.

I don't want to catastrophize, or to sound selfish, but I would be very sad to see my program be moved to be online/ cancelled given all of the work that I've invested into this. I'm sure I'm not alone in that.

Is anyone else nervous about COVID-19 affecting admissions? I don't want to catastrophize, or to sound selfish, but I would be very sad to see my program be moved to be online/ cancelled given all of the work that I've invested into this. EDIT- I realized there's a separate thread for this. Sorry!

Hang in there

Generally it takes programs a few business days after the decision deadline the first round of applicants are given. That is probably the case for Calgary as well. Good luck :).

Congrats on the acceptance :). I agree that the lack of Canadian counselling students posting is strange, given the amount of people who apply to those programs! I've accepted my offer to Calgary for the MSc Counselling program. I'd love to connect with any other incoming students to that program!

Hi, it was an email with a letter attached as a PDF. There was an interview. I do believe they have already notified waitlisted candidates, but I only know through word of mouth. Best of luck with your other applications and if it doesn't work out this year, keep your head up! It took me two tries.

I would be curious to see how others have worded these emails, too
