Clinical and Counselling Psychology Canadian Masters Application Forum Fall 2024

[manifestingacceptance]

Hey everyone! A bit early to start this but I've started looking to MA/MSc/MEd programs in Clinical and Counselling programs across Canada for Fall 2024 entry so I thought I would create this for anyone who would like to connect.

I currently have a 3.8GPA and am completing the final year of my Spec. Hons. BA in Psychology. I'm completing my honours thesis this year and so far I have 3 years of volunteer experiences in helping settings and 2 years of research experience. I'm a first generation immigrant and POC student so I am super nervous to start this process as I have no clue what to expect and how to navigate this all super well, but I am SO thankful for forums like these with such fantastic insights about this process! Feel free to connect

Hey, It's great to connect. It's my second round of applying. I am too looking for Masters's in Clinical, Counselling and Developmental Psychology courses in Canada. I will be applying as an international student. I am all excited and nervous to begin the process again.

I have a master's degree in psychology from the University of Glasgow and my bachelor's was also in psychology from India. My overall academic standing is a 3.75 GPA. I am working as a rehabilitation officer currently in a Traumatic Brain Injury unit for over 8 months, along with some volunteer work in varied clinical settings in the UK. I have close to 3 years of research experience and continue to work as a research assistant, currently working on 2 publications one of which I am the first author.

So nice to see similar minds here. I m too a first-generation looking to apply for Clinical Psychology program 2024 Fall admission. It's pretty the time to get together and share how we work this out. 

The journey of the application, as well as to certain extent a self exploration of career life, can be lonely though it was often heard that the world after getting admitted would be totally different.

Good luck to all brave dream chasers here 😉

A bit nervous now that the application deadline passed for one program I'm applying to.

Is anyone else here applying to uLeth's MEd Counselling Psychology?

Has anyone heard from UoC for clinical MA?

[vl5050]

Just wanted to share that a professor at U of O counselling MA agreed to supervise me and said my acceptance letter would be coming soon — probably differs by professor, but thought I’d share in case anyone is waiting to hear back!

Congratulations!! That is so exciting I wish you the best!

[criticalthinker]

Hi all! Just wanted to wish you all the best in this application process! I applied twice before being accepted during my third round of applications so I know how daunting this process (and the wait) can be. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions - I'm happy to help! Good luck!!!
