Does anyone know if its good news if your application is underreview instead of prescreening? Or do all applications go under review?

Probably doesn't mean anything, as someone else suggested. But I was wondering the same thing. My thesis based application is still in pre-screen, but the course-based is Under Review.

Has anyone heard from Western?

Also curious about this. I applied to the Counselling and SACP programs but haven't heard anything from either one. With the deadline being so late, it's likely we won't hear back for another 2-3 weeks at the minimum ?‍♀️

Any current students lurking who might have updates?

From my understanding, "under review" just means the are looking at your application and it's been submitted.

Has anyone heard from MEd Counselling & Psychotherapy UofT ?

I haven't -- I hear that they take quite a long time to send out decisions. Some folks have said it may be March or April before we hear anything.

I got an interview. I'm sorry you got rejected -- sending you the best of luck for any other applications you submitted this year!

Has anyone received a decision from UA course based yet? 

Still waiting - Based off of last year’s forum it looks like waitlist goes out mid Feb and then rejections and acceptance go out beginning of March. Please post if you hear sooner!

Did they receive an email or was it on their dashboard? 

No, the PI they applied to for thesis based called them to let them know they got in to both streams. So this is specific to the PI. I assume everyone else will be hearing from Marsha via email.

Just curious, did they do their undergrad at U of A?

Nope, we come from a smaller university in Edmonton.

Did anything on the dashboard change? Or was it just an email indicating this?

I am feeling extremely discouraged! This is the fourth year I am applying to a counselling program. The first time I got rejected, I had so much experience yet my grades in undergrad were around a B+ so officially I did not get admitted. Four years later,I finished a Masters of Edu with stellar grades. I have over 6 years of experience in the counseling field AND I still got rejected. Are they looking for unicorns? At this point it seems like they are seeking students who published in 10 000 journals, have four PHD’s and have 20 years of experience. I know I shouldn’t take it personally but it is extremely disheartening. They tell me to get better grades, I get better grades. They tell me to get experience I have over 6 years of volunteering and academic experience in the field. My reference letters are even from two professors of the faculty… I am completely shattered and I am starting to think it’s personal. I know I shouldn’t but at this point I don’t know what else I can do. I am completely shattered and feeling extremely lost. 
 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Oh my, so sorry to hear about this. I can’t image how discourgaged you are feeling. Did you apply this year and also you got rejected?

 

I know it’s so difficult and sometimes feel unfair as you see others get accepted who may not have as much experience.
