Update on my UOttawa portal...refused for MEd Counselling (course-based). Am currently waitlisted at McMaster, offered admission to alternate program at Guelph and waiting on OISE. Thinking it may not be my year! Hope y'all get some better results

Hi!! I have also been waitlisted for an interview. It’s funny because last year I did get an interview with McMaster straight away, so it just goes to show while hard work matters, a lot of it is luck!
Oh wow, that's interesting! Still a big achievement that you've been considered for an interview both years
But yes, a lot of this feels like a crapshoot since there are prob way more qualified people than they can take. Idk why more schools haven't expanded their seats in recent years, there's definitely demand for the programs and for psychotherapists in general. Hope everyone's doing ok with the stress of the waiting game!

@SHAs Heard back from McMaster, I was waitlisted as well!! Good luck to everyone :)

Hey everyone! So lovely to see people commenting on here and to connect Excited that we're in this (very stressful) boat together! Applying to UofT as well as a handful of other Ontario programs, basically whatever's accredited with the CRPO.
I'm wondering if any re-applicants have any tips on writing letters of intent / application questions...reflecting on past cycles, what would you say is important to include and/or avoid in your application? What would you do differently or the same?
@Psychology2018 your experience looks amazing!! I would say all of this can be considered relevant counselling experience, even if it's not resembling psychotherapy (which is a difficult thing to achieve pre-Master's). Best of luck to you!

@manifestingacceptance Great to hear from you, thanks for replying! 😄 Where are you looking so far?

Hi there! It's definitely early but I'm in the process of researching Masters in Counselling Psych programs for next year! I figured it would be great for applicants to have a place to ask questions / share insights / talk results when the time comes Don't know a whole lot of ppl in this field so appreciate anyone willing to join!

@psych0logy did you receive an official offer from the OISE program? And I'm pretty sure someone asked the same thing as you last year! check the 2022-2023 board :)
