  1. Ooop--sorry my mistake. It was just the reference from the lab and the clinical supervisor!
  2. Thanks so much! Here are my stats at the time of my application: 4 months volunteering in a residential mental health program 8 months as an emotional support home-visitor for women facing post-partum depression 2 years as an overnight volunteer on a sexual assault crisis line 1 year working in transitional housing for women fleeing domestic violence 1 year working as a counsellor for women fleeing domestic violence (it was a govt-funded program that allowed people with BAs or BSWs to work as counsellors, unfortunately this term is unregulated in my province. I made sure to discuss how I dealt with this ethical challenge in my application). 2 years as a research assistant in a clinical psychology lab (included an independent research project) References: manager at current job clinical supervisor at my current job PI at my clinical psychology lab Letter-writing content/process: I didn't discuss my research experience at all in my application, but did include them in my CV. In my letter, I chose salient learning experiences from each helping position I had, and made sure to explain how the experience increased my understanding of the clinical intervention/approach I was using in that role (e.g., person-centered, harm-reduction, anti-oppressive, feminist, trauma-informed, etc.). Where possible, I related that learning experience to a course in OISE's CP curriculum. There are so many ways to write the letter, of course, this is just what worked for me. I'm posting the guidelines I followed below (found in last year's forum)!
  3. Hey everyone. Also got my acceptance earlier this week to OISE's counselling program. I was kind of in shock to be honest. So many amazing applicants here who I know were equally deserving of a spot. Just wanted to say thanks to the community here (and to those from last year's forum as well), y'all really helped me to create a competitive application and got me through all the anxiety of waiting it out ?. Feel free to dm if you have any questions or anything like that. I know someone asked about stats for people who got accepted. I won't bother to list it all out unless anyone is specifically interested (my practical experience is comparable to the other people who were accepted). Good luck to everyone for next year and congrats to everyone who was accepted!!
  4. No, nothing here. My status also still says "submitted", does yours? I'm honestly really struggling with the wait, it's been absolutely brutal!! Someone posted a few days ago saying they heard that for those who have not yet been rejected, answers about applications will come near the end of the month (they contacted oise if I remember correctly). I did see that there was a poll (about 85 respondents) on reddit for the oise med program. So far, 1 had been rejected, 1 had been accepted (!!!!), and the rest also hadn't heard back. To be honest, I'm very confused about what is going on. I kind of thought a bunch of rejections had gone out but now I'm not so sure? If anyone knows anything please share LOL.
  5. Hey MHTherapy, Thanks so much for that update. Were they able to tell you if any acceptances had gone out yet?
  6. Hey everyone! Still waiting to hear from UOttawa (I was waitlisted in Feb, like many others lol). Does anyone know how their waiting list works? I'm pretty confused. I don't know if it is a genuine wait list, or if they have put people on the waiting list as a temporary measure or something like that (i.e., due to delays, etc). I'm anxious since there have been no acceptances I have heard of except one. I was fine with waiting before, but it's almost April so I'm starting to wonder if all their acceptances have gone out at this point? If anyone knows of any other acceptances or rejections, please feel free to share-would be much appreciated. ?
  7. Finally decided to create an account, I keep revisiting this thread for answers!! Nothing yet from U of T, I also applied there. Hopefully we hear something soon ?
