    Hi, I checked the portal and found out this morning. @psyc1818

    I got accepted by McMaster and rejected by Ottawa (MEd Counselling). My interview with McMaster was on Feb 9th. No email notifications were received, and I checked both online portals to find out the results. If anyone is interested in my stats, I am happy to share them. I applied to graduate school three times in total - in 2019, 2020, and 2022. I understand how struggling and anxious we all are at this stage! When getting rejected for the second time, I was super discouraged and started to question myself. Looking back, I am glad I was able to pick myself up. Stay hopeful and believe in yourself even if it may take longer for your hard work to pay off ❤️

    So fellows, does anybody consider reapplying this coming November? I am kind of debating as I heard it is not good to apply to the same program in consecutive years unless you can show you have made huge progress within a year. I applied to the program twice in the past. I got waitlisted for my first time and this year I guess it is safe to say I will be rejected. What do you all think? Anybody? Any thoughts on reapplying?

    Congrats! If you only plan to be a psychotherapist and stay in Ontario, Uoft is a quicker route. I totally agree with @LiveLovePsych. However, it is MA vs MEd. MA definitely offers a wider range of job opportunities (both clinical and counselling) and MA also benefits further academic study (if you ever want to pursue a doctor degree in psychology). MEd does not have a research component. I think it also depends on your interests in doing research. I did not realize UofT is that more expensive than McGill. I personally believe McGill has a better reputation in psychology, especially in US. If you get accredited in provinces other than Ontario and want to work as a registered psychotherapist in Ontario, you just need to contact CRPO. https://www.crpo.ca/labour-mobility/ I do not know the process very well, but maybe you can check CRPO website. I am sure it won't be a problem.

    The real week never arrives! ?

    Hey coffee I did not see any new acceptance posts. Did you see any?
  7. Toughcook1e
    Fellows, let's review the timeline. A couple of accepted students reported on March 4th. Now we are at the end of March. What has the admission department done during this whole month? Go through a bunch of applications and figure out their waitlisted applicants? The timeline is very suspicious ?
  8. Toughcook1e
    Not sure the total amount of waitlisted students but I have seen four waitlist posts so far
  9. Toughcook1e
    So it is about next week? I DONT EVEN KNOW?
  10. Toughcook1e
    Agreed. We are literally at the end of March and most of us are still waiting for a response.

    It is about luck lol! Someone I know was put on waitlist when she applied to MSW at UofT a couple of years ago and she finally got in. However, I was put on waitlist last year and never received another response afterwards, which basically equals a rejection. For a course-based program like MEd, there is not much we can do as there is no professor to connect...
  12. Toughcook1e
    I feel the same! The result does not matter very much to me anymore, and I just want it to end!
  13. Toughcook1e
    Anybody received results today?
  14. Toughcook1e
    Same here! Let's stay strong and positive fellows
  15. Toughcook1e
    @simp4gradschool Thank you and hope all the best on our applications! @Happiness is key Agreed. Only 1 of 3 accepted students posted on the admission result.

    Based on various posts on graduate cafe, I know 3 people have received acceptance letters so far. We cannot guarantee all applicants use the forum, so it is really hard to say how many acceptance letters the admission department has sent out. We are all in this. In the past few months, I keep thinking about bad circumstances and hoping for good results to come. I applied to the program last year as well, and I heard a decision in the first week of March. I know this year must be very hard for all of us? It is funny I notice my anxious thoughts are pretty much gone recently because the waiting is forever haha.....

    I saw that (800 applicants) on one of our fellows' posts @Jumbo3 Exactly! This program takes 35 students each year and of course they do not care the number of their applicants.?
  18. Toughcook1e
    I am taking a guess here. Maybe there are no waitlisted students this year because they are facing approximately 800 applications and a good way to save time and energy is to not have a waitlist. They send acceptance letters to the most wanted students for the first around and wait for all of their responses. Then, they have the second round. Finally, they take care of the rest.

    I did email him a couple of weeks ago but he has not responded it yet.
  20. Toughcook1e
    I sometimes do but nothing haha
  21. Toughcook1e
    LOL we have been talking about it since January
  22. Toughcook1e
    So it's next week??
  23. Toughcook1e
    In previous years, most applicants had reported their results by this time, but this year not even a single waitlist or rejection reported. I know part of the reason is about COVID but efficiency matters!
  24. Toughcook1e
    Based on the results page, it is common to see 2~4 acceptances for this program per year. I may assume not all accepted students use graduate cafe ?.
  25. Toughcook1e
    Already 3:30 probably would hear back next week
