Received an acceptance letter to SFU yesterday!
Did you receive an e-mail or actual letter via post?

Anyone heard from SFU yet?!

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 ?

Hey! It seems like the only thing it could be is your application? I've seen people with great grades get rejected and people with mediocre grades get accepted. From my understanding they put a lot of weight on the application/ letter of intent itself. Of course I'm sure you know that these have to be catered to fit what the school is about/ what they're looking for. So using the right wording, language, framing, etc. becomes important. They have so many applicants they can choose from so I'm sure a lot of times it can come down to small details. Unfortunately, OISE has the luxury to be picky lol I'm sorry to hear about your bad news but you seem to have a great foundation and will achieve the goals you strive to!
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”

I also emailed yesterday requesting my result and was told that I'll be reccomended for refusal. Not surprised, as I do not think I have enough experience but very frustrated I had to wait so long to find out.
Wow! So sorry to hear that. My average and level of experience is nowhere near that, so I'm not sure what is required. I honestly don't know what more they could want. I have heard many stories from people in similar situations that have been denied multiple times from this program.
I'm wondering if this year is more difficult for domestic students, because they are in desperate need of money (that is what I heard from someone in the registrar's office, unofficially) and international tuition is so much higher. Its a crime how much they charge international students.
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.

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!

Hey everyone! Just finding this thread a bit late but thought I would post to see if anyone’s on the same boat. I got waitlisted for the MEd program on March 29, and rejected from the MA program March 30. Is there an actual chance I’ll get accepted into the MEd program this year? They say if you don’t hear back from us until mid-August, I can just assume I didn’t get accepted (which I think is a ridiculous timeline lol).
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!!

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 ?
