Mindfulyogi Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) Hi all! I thought I'd start a thread for those of us applying/waiting/accepted or declined into master's for mental health counseling programs. I'm just curious about others' experiences with the admissions/decisions process so far and wanted to connect!

Mindfulyogi Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 @inthaacutt wanted to add on another thing from my prior response did NYU sent out any info regarding an admitted students' day or anything yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on your acceptances as well!! Wishing you the best in making your decision Hopkins was the second cheapest option for me and they are more than likely going to be CACREP accredited starting again this summer. Money was a huge factor for me so Hopkins really seemed like too good of an opportunity to pass up on. I was ecstatic to be accepted into UPenn's program, but as you know, it is pricey and I just didn't think I could afford that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfulyogi Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 @ktrunner9922 thank you so much!! and gotcha - money is definitely a huge factor for me as well as I'm debating and making my decision. wishing you the best @ hopkins!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheMadeItEventually Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I was offered an admission into Boston College mhc but I will be declining that offer (I'm extremely grateful though). Money is THE problem for me tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atina_nus Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) Hello fellow future counselors! I was offered acceptance to NYU, CUNY, and Yorkville (Canada). I'm Canadian, about to start my I-20 and visa application as I aim to attend NYU. Would love to connect with anyone going into an MHC program this fall and/or in NYC!

psyched_trojan2015 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Just found out I got into Northwestern's Counseling@Northwestern program. Excited, but holy h*ll, it's so expensive. Seeing if the financial aid will bring anything to lower that steep price tag... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

estellayyyyyyy Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Hi everyone, I am from China. Applying for MHC program in the US is such a challenging thing to me. I have got admitted into NYU, and received another offer from University of Edinburgh (counselling interpersonal dialogue program). And I decide to go to Edinburgh which is a decision I have never thought about, because I aimed to study in the US. Anyway, wish you all good luck, and whatever the decision is it can turn out to be a good one later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly wasn't sure if I would get in after the group interview so I was pleasantly surprised. If you want to connect more, feel free to DM on here! Also, fingers crossed for you!
