dear-p

I also got this email! At least it’s an update but sigh.. still hard.

Hi all! Been a lurker for a while but finally created an account to support and commiserate together through this process lol. It's my first time applying and reading through last year's very active thread was so helpful. Wanted to check in with anyone else applying to U of T OISE's MEd Counselling Psychology program... I attended the virtual open house last month on Oct 15 and was thrown off when they changed their application questions. They said their website wasn't updated at the time and to just include the two questions: 1. Please describe specific counselling-related work or volunteer activities that have prepared you for this program. Please explain how these experiences have informed your interest in becoming a helping professional. (750 words max) 2. Could you briefly describe your family, life, community, volunteer, or professional experiences that have helped prepare you to work with diverse individuals? (500 words max) So I reworked my answers and just started my app through their portal and I now see a third box with their previous question (that's now not on their program website anymore) is still there : Is there any additional information you want to share with the Admissions Committee that will inform their review of your application? (1500 words max). -insert shocked Pikachu meme- Anyone else in the same boat or were y'all early birds in starting your application through U of T's portal so this wasn't a shocker?? I sent them an email so we'll see what they say!
