I have been accepted to the Mcmaster masters of science in psychotherapy program and the OISE Masters of Education in counselling program. I am struggling which program to choose. I know Mcmaster's program requires you to complete 500 hours of practicum, wheras uoft is 250 hours. However, program-wise, I am struggling to make a decision. What would you do if it was you? Also, is it true that MEd opens up more doors to a doctorate down the line? I am leaning more towards Mcmaster program as it is more clinical? I would look at the college your want to register with (likely the CRPO) and check how many client hours are needed to get your license. If the number is closer to 500, doing them through your school program with supervision and support included might be beneficial, compared to trying to find another internship with supervision after the fact. Just one thing to consider! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By when can we hear back from them for interviews? SFU has a total of 12 seats between the MA and MEd program. There isn’t a designated number of seats for each program, but from what I’ve heard, the MEd typically has more acceptances than the MA. I emailed Trina this week about when we should hear back about interviews and she said they are well underway on the process of shortlisting, but we won’t hear back for another few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alinal15 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I got an email from UofT this morning saying there was an update to my application but nothing has changed on the application portal or on ACORN. Does anyone know if this means anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have access to ACORN and I am worried that I missed something. I was under the impression ACORN is for current student and staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression ACORN is for current student and staff. I am not a UofT student and I was able to set up an ACORN account. I somehow missed the email to set it up when it came through, but searched ACORN in my email and it came up. It also gave me my JoinID username which I believe I had to enable using the instructions. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fjiang Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 For SFU applicants, I just received the interview invitation today. Here's the information I got - 45 minutes group interview with two or three other shortlisted applicants and 15 minutes mock counselling interview (maybe video recording?). I'm scheduled on April 14. The invitation should be coming into your inbox this week or next week if you get shortlisted! Also, does anyone know what they are gonna ask in the interview and mind share a bit? Hope you all get good news!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

counsellingapplicant23 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Just got the email from Trina that I’ve been shortlisted for an MEd interview at SFU — I’ll be declining the offer since I got into Ottawa, so whoever’s next on the list will probably hear something soon! Assuming my OISE hopes are dashed — Acorn doesn’t tell you if you’ve been waitlisted or rejected, right? I’m going to have to wait for an official email for that?

Congrats on your acceptance and interview!! What time did you receive the email from Trina? I’m curious if invites are still rolling out Also- someone posted on Reddit that they phone the OISE admin office and they said they have no order of when they send out acceptances, waitlists, and rejections. Apparently they are rolling them all out and it could be another couple weeks to a couple months before we hear from them. In sum, if you have your dreams set on OISE, I wouldn’t count them out just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that Reddit post, but all the posts from folks saying they’ve been accepted is truly stressing me out 😥 Thank you for the kind and positive words though, and good luck!!! ⭐️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
