    Yeah I'm not sure but since you're a teacher yourself, you definitely would have a better gauge of it. Yeah I also enjoyed BC's admitted students' day as well! definitely a great institution and strong faculty in their counseling program. oh i see - you'd also be deciding between masters vs. phd. i don't know too much about Alabama either lol what made you decide to apply to the school alabama then? reputation of school/program?

    ahh i actually didn't realize counselors can't bill Medicare anymore! but thank you so much for your advice and sharing your input and the experiences of people you know. i am considering practicing in an area where the average income is higher than the national average, but then again it is quite saturated in this area and also cost of living is higher at the same time lol. And agree it is important to especially keep in mind the years pre-licensure as the debt is accruing. I appreciate all this info as my partner and I definitely are thinking of buying a place, family planning, and all those things in the next few years as well - so definitely lots of food for thought. Thank you!!

    @PsyDuck90 thanks for your input! some of your points did come up too from some of my discussions with friends, which I believe are valid.

    @MonYXActually the faculty member in my program also mentioned a bigger cohort size for my program too. usual cohort sizes for my program they said are 40-50 I think and already about 60 people accepted their offer thus far. And we still have 2 weeks or so to go from resolution date. So i am assuming our cohort size will be double (if not a bit more). Yeah I am also not sure because i received a great offer from Boston College with a Dean's scholarship/quite generous tuition remission but Upenn definitely has the bigger name, and also i did feel very connected to the faculty member facilitating the session as she interviewed me as well. also i'm very interested in her work. i also have connections/some roots in philly whereas in boston i don't have any. for your other program, is it a masters or phd? regardless a full tuition waiver + monthly stipend is hard to beat! that is awesome - congrats on that!

    @MonYXhey! it was good - how about for you? I am leaning towards penn...but haven't made my final decision just yet haha and you??

    @ktrunner9922 thank you so much!! and gotcha - money is definitely a huge factor for me as well as I'm debating and making my decision. wishing you the best @ hopkins!!
  7. Mindfulyogi
    did you end up attending? i attended and they said that it was also being recorded and they will send it out via email
  8. Mindfulyogi
    @ktrunner9922that's so funny because I had the exact same interview date and also acceptance date!
  9. Mindfulyogi
    @ktrunner9922 wow congrats on all your acceptances!! atm i'm deciding between upenn vs. BC and still waiting on NYU. just curious, what factors made you choose to attend Hopkins? also one of my best friends is doing her phd in the soe at jhu and has had a really good experience thus far!

    @inthaacutt wanted to add on another thing from my prior response did NYU sent out any info regarding an admitted students' day or anything yet?
  11. Mindfulyogi
    congrats!! i don't know too much about either program, but there are a host of factors for me as i'm deciding on my programs. i like to look at faculty profiles, tuition (though as they are both CSU perhaps tuition $ is similar?), program size, community, school/program reputation, cost of living, etc.
  12. Mindfulyogi
    congratulations! that's so exciting that you will be starting soon! and yes, me too as I didn't see any so thought I'd start one.
  13. Mindfulyogi
    ahh congrats on your NYU acceptance!! ? i'm actually still (nervously) waiting to hear back from them! submitted early Jan., but I have gotten into other counseling programs that I am super excited about as well (Penn, BC) but definitely am eager to hear from NYU. i didn't apply to columbia's counseling program, but was there a supplemental application/essay or anything? just curious!
  14. Mindfulyogi
    Sure! Let's reconnect after!

    Hi all! I thought I'd start a thread for those of us applying/waiting/accepted or declined into master's for mental health counseling programs. I'm just curious about others' experiences with the admissions/decisions process so far and wanted to connect!

    I have not, heard it was to be awarded in April. But I also read on their website (https://www.gse.upenn.edu/admissions/financial-aid/penngse-scholarships), "Decisions for the Dean’s Scholarship are typically announced in a separate award letter in late April..." ... does this mean this is after the April 15th deadline............?
  17. Mindfulyogi
    Hi! I don't have info on that, but from gse's scholarship website they said, "The School seeks to provide assistance to as many eligible candidates as possible, currently awarding scholarships to approximately 75% of incoming master’s students." And I've seen on gradcafe (and thru WOM) the awards for merit are usually are 5k-15k. To me, it sounds like they've just decided on this figure range to award based on strength of app, and it's probably not that high relative to their tuition because it seems like they try to award to as many qualified participants as possible so they'd have to award smaller amounts to reach more people

    I signed up for 12 PM EST (as I live on west coast rn!) And you? Yeah I am looking forward to what they have to say about funding for sure lol
  19. Mindfulyogi
    Yeah - and some of them have such a rigorous application process or requirements for only 1-2k! Thanks for letting me know though! Keep me updated on where you decide to attend ultimately! I'll be attending the admitted students day next weekend - looking forward to seeing you (hopefully!) and other folks there.
  20. Mindfulyogi
    @MonYX got it - thanks for your response and input! I've also looked for some external scholarships for grad students but there are few and far between.
  21. Mindfulyogi
    Hey all! I was accepted into Penn GSE and was awarded a scholarship, but really not that much... and Penn's master's programs' tuition is quite high. Was just curious to hear from previously admitted Penn GSE students (and other master's students in general!), how you funded your tuition and made it work? I know some of my options, but just wanted to hear from you all personally! Also open to hearing currently accepted students too and how you are planning to fund your tuition. ?

    @yzzzyyyHey! I'm sorry I didn't see your post until now. The interview was not too bad - the faculty member was so welcoming and made the atmosphere very comfortable (for me at least!) The standard questions were asked (as mentioned also by the member above). How did you feel about it?
  23. Mindfulyogi
    @psychbridge Wow thank you so much for taking the time to respond with such a comprehensive response! This was very helpful and I appreciate it very much! ?

    Hi all! I received an invitation for a group interview for Penn's Counseling and Mental Health Services master's program, and was wondering if anyone who has gone through this interview in the past has any advice or insight they'd be willing to share! Thank you very much in advance! ? *Cross-posted in "Interviews and Visits" FYI
