  1. Congrats to everyone that got accepted this year, and to those that didn't - don't let that define you, don't give up, everything happens in perfect universal timing. I will be heading to U of C in the fall to start the MSc in Counselling Psychology. If anyone on here is also heading to U of C this fall and wants to connect - feel free to message me ?
  2. I know some of you aren’t ready to hear this because I sure as hell wasn’t when I got rejected - but what is going to make us amazing counselors is who we are and our experiences not some piece of paper or where we get that piece of paper. Some of the most amazing counselors I have had got online degrees from places I hadn’t heard of and some of the worst counselors I’ve had went to prestigious schools. Let’s not let some academic/educational system define who we are and tell us what we can and can’t do. All of us here have the same goals - we want to help people and make a difference and if we keep that in mind and express our most authentic selves - I’m confident we will all find fulfilling work that brings us abundance. You are all amazing people who want to do good in this world; believe in yourselves and the universe will too ❤️ There are so many beautiful paths to the same destination. And one day I’ll meet y’all there ?
  3. You could be right - I guess it just hurts because I spent sooo long on the letter of intent and made sure to cater it exactly to the program I had 4 people look it over including a professor and I just have read it and re-read it over 100 times before submitting. Oh well - some things are just not meant to be and I’m trying to see “rejection” as “redirection”
  4. This makes sense since they mentioned to vancouverpsych (forum member) that they have a lot of out of country admits who needed longer to respond due to covid issues so the wait list people will have to wait a while. And it seems most people who got accepted were international because there are barely any acceptance posts on grad cafe because I think it’s mostly a Canadian thing. I mean I think international students are great but it should be fair so Canadians don’t get screwed over we can’t all afford to study abroad and pay international tuition. The OISE program seems hypocritical since they are all about social justice, equity and minimizing cultural and social barriers. They are basically creating a cyclical cycle of oppressing those from lower SES backgrounds while admitting wealthy people who can afford international tuition to get ahead in their careers. This is how the wealthy get wealthier and the poor get poorer and the middle class diminishes. Thanks U of T. Okay sorry rant over. I just had to.
  5. Hey all, I was also unofficially rejected from the program so just currently processing all the emotions that go with that. My admission GPA was 91% from UBC psych and I have 5 years of helping experience including distress lines, crisis lines, physical rehab centres, and palliative care at the hospital as well as working for a social work organization for 2 years. So I really don’t know what it takes to get in anymore... if anyone here was accepted I would love to know what your admission GPA was and what kind of experience you have. I’ll be applying again this next cycle. Good luck to everyone reapplying!
  6. Nice to see a fellow Vancouverite at least get wait-listed! Good Luck I really hope you get in - although mid August is just ridiculous! As for the rest of us, I think OISE needs to get their shit together and finally just send out all of the acceptance/rejection letters ASAP so we can all move on with our lives. Either way, knowing is so much better than this limbo!!
