Pursuit of happiness Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Hi everyone, has anyone applied to the M.Ed in counselling and Psychotherapy at University of Toronto? Have you heard back yet? I thought of creating this thread to discuss our backgrounds, work experience and our entire application experience followed by the results (when we get them). I have 4 years of experience working in a renown first episode psychosis clinic as a symptom evaluator and neuropsychological evaluator. I conducted various clinical asessments, diagnoses, in depth psychiatric evaluations of in and out patients, wrote medical histories, case reviews and conducted intreviews with patients and family members. I have also worked in clinical research ( neurocognitive science ( doing ECGs) and perinatal mental health labs, MRI labs). I have a publication in the Canadian Journal of Psychiatry. I graduated 7 years ago with an Undergrad in Psychology and Behavioral sciences and minor in education. My status on SGS website is : under review. Hoping to hear back from other applicants. Good luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willisle Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Hi Knav, I also applied to this program and just heard back yesterday with an offer of admission. I got an email with the title 'Decision Reached for Your University of Toronto Application" and to see it, I had to log into the portal and open a pdf of a letter. As for my application experience, U of T had the least amount of specific requirements. I also applied to the University of Victoria and I had to take 3 pre-requisite courses at their University just to be considered. For my application at U of T, when I converted my CV to a PDF to submit, it cut off a line and when I emailed U of T after realizing the mistake, they were unwilling to help. All this to say, it was a more hands-off experience than with UVic. Willa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pursuit of happiness Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share Posted March 7, 2020 Congratulations Willisle! Do you have any idea whether the GPA has more weight than the professional experiences? I am sort of freaking out given that my GPA is 3.57. Take care and thank you so much for sharing your experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenDen123 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Hey I was wondering if anyone is willing to share their experience with GPA, my CPGA is pretty low around 2.7 but my SubGPA in my 3rd year is around 3.0 and I am planning to raise it a lot higher in my final year. I don't know if this will be high enough, I plan to only apply this fall and I won't be done my 4th year until April of next year 2021. Anyone with advice or what your GPA and experience looked like when you were accepted would be helpful! I am studying psychology right now as a major. I also have experience in various mental health facilities as well as like a career counsellor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
