PortraitCixous Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 (edited) Greetings all!—I am a new member here and I was wondering if anybody may be able to provide advice with respect to my situation. Are mental health counseling programs very competitive—esp. compared to social work programs? I am specifically interested in CUNY-Hunter College's program but worry I don't have enough experience aside from my 5-month research stint and three years at the New York State Psychiatric Institute, as well as work at Columbia University Irving Medical Center (also as an office assistant like at NYSPI). Because I am in a very poor financial situation, I cannot afford to travel from place to place to volunteer (I reside in Westchester County). As for my cumulative g.p.a., it is 3.89. Should I even bother applying? Thank you for your help. Edited June 15, 2019 by BeriahWheeler_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PortraitCixous Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 Recently, matters have improved far more for the better—quite fortunately. As for mental health counseling, I have essentially ruled it out and have opted for another career. Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
