psyc2022 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Just got a rejection from OISE - third year in a row. Feeling really bummed out but still on the waitlist for UofT 2 year MSW so we will see. I just want to get this next stage of my life going so I'm going to start the Yorkville program in May! Good luck everyone, we will all get to where we want to be somehow, some way! ManukaHoney, T.O.hopeful, DD2021 and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liloxo Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Did not get into U of T OISE MEd. Still haven’t heard anything from Western (although, hopes are low at this point).

filmbug Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Also just got my rejection - second time applying. Third time’s the charm right?! ? Good luck to everyone in their paths and congrats to those who’ve got places! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustTryingMyBest Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 I think Acorn is telling me I'm accepted, so pretty excited but also scared to tell people until I get the email in case I'm hallucinating or something. I'm so sorry to everyone who didn't get in. Hang in there everyone. And to those who are still waiting to hear back, please try to do what you can to get your mind off of it and ease your anxiety. This was brutal y'all. carlrogersfan98 and T.O.hopeful 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsychMocha Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 On 4/13/2022 at 5:42 PM, ManukaHoney said: FYI: counselling is very different than therapy. The MeD program allows you to provide therapy. You do not need a counselling degree to provide counselling. Recruiters usually look for experience . I’ve actuallly gotten a few interviews for counselling positions and I have a BA in psych. Correct me if i am wrong @Pizza Ovenz Yes, I found that out in the interview process and after consulting a friend of mine who is a registered psychologist in Saskatchewan. The counselling programs at U of T only provides 250 hours practicum. It's not a program to train clinical work or therapy. All the MA counselling programs including Western, Ottawa, SFU etc.. are doing that except maybe Guelph (family therapy) and McMaster (clinical therapy). So when I got an offer from McMaster I took the acceptance and found out during my interview with Western that the counselling program wasn't what I was looking for. You do need some sort of education whether it's a college or university in psychology and some practical training to do professional counselling in specific fields and accreditation in certain provinces. It's a mess/ patchwork of different legal requirements from province to province. Some doesn't require at all while others do. You can hang your sign that you're doing counselling/therapy in Saskatchewan and no one will arrest you, but in Ontario it's a different story.

I didn't apply to UNBC this year, but last year myself and another applicant did not get a rejection notice until May 23rd! In my opinion, informing their applicants of their decision that late is disrespectful, and I decided not to re-apply there. But please let us know if you hear back from UNB.

To add: Laurier's spiritual and psychotherapy program is in the same group as Guelph and McMaster. And like Guelph, you don't need a background in psych. And because you're at Laurier, you can also take the certifications (on addiction, CBT...etc). that's available to MSW students.

HumanBean Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Hey everyone. Also got my acceptance earlier this week to OISE's counselling program. I was kind of in shock to be honest. So many amazing applicants here who I know were equally deserving of a spot. Just wanted to say thanks to the community here (and to those from last year's forum as well), y'all really helped me to create a competitive application and got me through all the anxiety of waiting it out ?. Feel free to dm if you have any questions or anything like that. I know someone asked about stats for people who got accepted. I won't bother to list it all out unless anyone is specifically interested (my practical experience is comparable to the other people who were accepted). Good luck to everyone for next year and congrats to everyone who was accepted!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
