Hi guys posted this on reddit but wanted to get your opinion as well.
I wanted to apply to a few counselling psychology programs ( Uoft: OISE, McMaster, Western, UOttawa and McGill) for the Fall 2022 school year and wanted to know realistically my chances of getting in. This what I have so far...
Program = BA in Psychology (Honours) with a minor in French
CGPA = 10.33/12 (3.7/4.0) * hoping to get it up next semester
Research Experience = currently a volunteer research assistant ( have been doing it for 10 months) and will be doing an Honours thesis in the Fall.
Clinical experience = I volunteer at a local Distress Centre as a crisis line responder I have been doing that for about 7 months but it will be a year by the time I apply in the late fall. I will also be doing a practicum in the Fall.
Relevant work experience = I work as an admin clerk for a mental health clinic.( over a year)
My top picks are:
- Western: MA counselling
- McGill: Project concentration
Thanks in advance!
