  1. Hey everyone, Just wanted to wish you all luck and sanity in the final stretch before deadlines close. Hang in there!! :')
  2. @carlrogersfan98 Awesome, that's what I did too pretty much 3 lines for every section. I did keep the "top 3 responsibilities" section italicized though, because for some reason the form had just that section in italics.. not sure if that was right though ? wish they had more detailed instructions haha. best of luck to you
  3. That makes a lot of sense-- thank you for your useful advice! Did you bullet point anything, or just go to the next line and list the top responsibilities/accomplishments? *edit: carlrogersfan98, this is in reply to you! the quote function isn't working for me again :')
  4. Has anyone looked at the McGill CV form yet? They have a separate one for Counselling , and it's my first time looking at a designated CV "form" to fill out and I'm struggling to write the "top 3 responsibilities and top 3 accomplishments relevant to application" bit.. any tips on how to condense this and not make it sound like a repetition of the SOP?! ?

  6. Thank you both so much for your detailed feedback! I really appreciate it. I am leaning more towards highlighting and focusing on my strengths, rather than unnecessarily drawing attention to my weaknesses.. it's been a while since I've been out of school, so it was nice to hear opinions from people more recently involved in academia ❤️ thank you so much *edit* I tried to use the "quote" function, but I couldn't get it to work for some reason... thank you PBbread and Vanessa!!
  7. Would any of you mention any withdrawals/weak grades in the first semester of undergrad? I have one W and a C- (both non-psych related) because I experienced the deaths of multiple close family members during my first semester of freshman year, but the rest of my academic history is pretty solid. I was considering mentioning it briefly in my SOP, but wasn't sure whether I should or not because of word count restrictions and the rest of the transcript speaking for itself on my improvement. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. TIA

  9. Hello, all! I am looking for a bit of advice. I am an international student looking to apply to Canadian M.Ed Educational Psychology programs with thesis components. I have already identified a few PIs with great research fit, and am preparing my applications for submission now. I have a Psychology B.A., average (3.6-3.7) GPA, but no research experience. Following graduation, I worked in the education sector for 3 years and had 1 year of volunteering (counselling/crisis line). Writing research proposals is a bit daunting, and I'm concerned about my lack of research experience. Considering that all of these programs are thesis based, is it even worth applying with my background? I understand that research based psychology programs are incredibly competitive, and I've heard from faculty this year that they have even more applicants than they did last cycle. Does anyone have any general advice on how to write very concise, but specific, research statements (100-200 words) for M.Ed programs? I would really appreciate any kind of input and/or feedback. Thank you for your time
  10. Thanks for making this thread I'm just starting to research programs, are any of you looking into MEd programs with a Counselling specialization at all?
  11. Can someone help me with determining my eligibility for OGS? I still haven't received an answer from any of the programs I reached out to and am wondering if I can apply.. To be considered for an OGS/QEII-GSST, an applicant must be a Canadian citizen, a Permanent Resident, or a Protected Person [under subsection 95 (2) of the Immigration and Refugee Protections Act (Canada)] as of the OGS/QEII application deadline. If an OGS/QEII-GSST applicant is international student holding a valid Study Permit as of the OGS/QEII-GSST application deadline, they may be considered for one of eight (8) OGS awards that the MTCU has allowed Western to provide to International Students. I am an international student without a study permit -- I reside in a different country, and I will not have a permit by January/February.. so just to confirm, does this mean I cannot apply for any OGS at any program?
  12. For anyone that applied to Guelph's Clinical program -- has anyone else had any issues with recommendations being lost or not processed? One of my professors said she got a double request for the recommendation, and she submitted the letter + supplement form for one of the requests. Then, she got a confirmation that they received it.. but the portal says it is not received and she is still receiving reminder emails to complete the recs. Due date was the 1st, and I inquired about it a week ago but I think they must be super busy because I haven't gotten a response yet. Not sure what more I can do at this point, would appreciate it if anyone had any thoughts on this!
  13. Yes, I just copied and pasted I believe my paragraph was around 2xx out of the max 400 words
  14. Just wanted to pop back in here and say good luck to everyone please take care of your physical and mental health during this very taxing process!
  15. This might be a silly question-- did you guys report the GRE scores to Clinical Psychology (2001) or Psychology (2016)?! UManitoba doesn't seem to specify.. I've been looking all over their site!
