No I don't think so - this email just said that they weren't forwarding my application to be considered at the departmental level. I assume the final decisions are still issued on April 1st.

kcm97 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Not clinical related, but does anybody know anything about U of Alberta’s counselling (MEd) program? I haven’t heard a peep which is surprising since Calgary’s counselling psych. offers have all been sent out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never heard of a school telling candidates who they advance because ultimately the federal department makes the final rank on April 1st. But that is great if they did to give you a little more insight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdclark Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Add me to the list of those rejected from Queen's. I'm heartbroken as this was my first choice I interviewed in January, attended the open house this past weekend, and had a super positive reception from my professor and several other members of the program. My application was even promoted to acceptance by my professor based off of my credentials and work experience, but because I'm an American and there are super strict rules on international students in Ontario, there was no funding available for me. Just when I thought I could escape the turbulence of the US and move on to a sexuality research haven... mindfullyneurotic, higaisha and aaaaaaaaa 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chopper.wife Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Just heard from the secretary at York who said that faculty are making decisions this week and I will know my status by Friday. Not that it will matter since I already have accepted another offer and know that one of the POIs at York has extended an offer that was accepted and the others are not taking students. BUT maybe this info will be helpful to others still waiting to hear! Neurophilic, neocortical.coffee and Psych_101 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disney Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 To those that applied to Lakehead - I received an email from the program coordinator stating that they are still in the process of making admission decisions. Lakehead doesn't have a formal interview process so if you haven't heard you might still be under consideration. If anyone has specific questions about this program, I'd be happy to answer. Good luck to those still waiting to hear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higaisha Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I wanna get CGS-M just so I can rub it in the faces of the schools I got rejected at while also crying because they still won't take me (3/3 LOL--wish I could have moved one of my choices over to the one school I actually have a chance at).

psychpun Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, psych12344 said: Has anyone heard of an MA, MEd or MSc in counselling psych be accepted to a PhD in clinical psych? Yup! It definitely can happen if you have a master's thesis that is clinically related; although it is rare I would say. I've been talking to some student who were accepted directly into PhD , and a couple of them came from counselling. I myself am coming from an MSc in Psychiatry and am going directly into PhD for clinical. The one stipulation is that there has to be spots available for PhD which you can't always bank on-- for example, in my case, a PhD student left the clinical program for personal reasons so a spot opened up; otherwise they may reserve all PhD spots for current clinical students at the master's level). If you are admitted directly into PhD the way it works is you may be spared some electives if you have graduate level courses from your masters, but you will be with the MA1 cohort doing all the core courses (it's possible some of them will overlap with counselling and you will be exempt). As such, you'll likely do 5 years for your PhD instead of 4 as you're catching up (although some crazy cats manage in less)-- ultimately you're still saving time and do not have to redo a master's thesis. It definitely varies by school in terms of their willingness but what I'm describing is the case for a couple of schools I was accepted to (one in Toronto and one in Montreal). Hope that helps!
