  1. @angelicpiano I totally feel you! Personally, I don't have the highest GPA for my schools of choice, I have a 3.3 and I know most students applying have a 3.8 or higher. I had to move out of my family home abruptly right at the beginning of my fourth year which meant i started working two jobs and twice the amount of hours and my schoolwork took a backseat. I'll be explaining this in the personal statements but I still feel that my GPA is so low I might not be considered at all. My top choices are OISE for Counselling and U of T for Social Work. The bonus is that because I had to work so much more, I have a lot of direct social service experience and continue to get some in my current job as an intake coordinator. I'm hoping once this comes together in an application I could be admitted but truly I think it's luck of the draw!
  2. does anyone else feel extremely anxious that they don't meet the requirements at all and have zero chance and should just give up or is it just me? LOL
  3. @ManukaHoney yes I remember you too! I am just started the first drafts of my letters of intent and reaching out to references.
  4. I'm applying only to the OISE MEd in Counselling Psychology, my other programs are all MSWs. It's the only local counselling psychology programs, I have more options in my city with MSWs and I can't afford to move away for the program so my options are kind of limited. All in all, I'm applying to: U of T MSW, OISE MEd, YorkU MSW, Laurier MSW online (this program is slightly longer but would allow me to keep my full-time job and I could complete my practicum at my workplace) and then Adler and Yorkville are also options but I'll wait on those applications since they're rolling applications.
  5. What programs is everyone applying to or planning to apply to? For me, I plan to apply to the U of T MSW, Wilfred Laurier MSW online and York MSW. I also plan on applying to the U of T MEd in Counselling Psychology as well; last season this was my top choice program but I didn't get in. This is my first time applying to the MSW route, I didn't know much about it before. I think my top two programs are the U of T MSW and the Laurier MSW. The U of T MSW is such a good program overall but the Laurier MSW would allow me to keep my full-time job and complete my practicum at my workplace (I work in a psychology clinic as an intake coordinator). I might apply to Adler or Yorkville as backups but honestly the almost $50,000 tuition is way more than I could handle. Would love to hear where everyone else is in the process!
  6. Hi everyone! I am currently working on my applications for counselling psychology programs this Fall. Hoping for a Fall 2023 start! It is super early but I figured these forums were so helpful last year that I'd start one for this season. Best of luck to everyone!
  7. Hey everyone! I'm creating this forum for those of us applying to MSW programs for Fall 2023 across Canada. I figured this would be really helpful as some of the previous forums were super helpful.
  8. my therapist was a yorkville grad too she was great!!! thanks for the encouraging words
  9. thank you this is really kind, wishing you all the best also!
  10. in other news, I think I'm going to pursue the Yorkville MA... ultimately, I just want to be a therapist and have a private practice, exactly which program gets me there doesn't matter as much and it allows me to work full time and possibly graduate with 0 debt! lol just looking at the bright side
  11. When I go in the portal it says "submitted" but then when I click on the application I have an update on the status page which shows this letter
  12. I got rejections from both Clinical & Counselling in the portal. It still says "submitted" but then there's a status update when I click on the actual application. So weird that no one else got a response from CP...
  13. I got an email and an update on my portal!
  14. OISE results are out!!!! I didn't get in but best of luck to all of you
  15. I did and I have yet to hear from him!
