Grad applications mentee/advisor options if no longer an undergrad

[Bils]

Hi there,

I'm wondering if there are any mentee/mentorship programs or other good programs that offer assistance with grad school applications for someone who is not an undergrad and has been out of school for 2 years. Hoping for assistance with having my CV, letters of intent, research interests/proposal reviewed, as well as get other psychology grad program questions answered. 

I was looking at the CPA mentee/mentor program but it's only open to undergraduate students. I haven't had much luck finding programs/services in Canada that are available to people who have graduated and have been out of school for more than 1 year. I'm also willing to pay for the services

 

Thanks!

Are you currently in a research lab? Your PI should be a good source of information. Typically, given the highly competitive nature of clinical psych grad admissions, applicants are actively involved with research mentors who often assist with this process.

No, I’m not actively involved with any research labs unfortunately. I live in a remote rural area with no nearby universities or lab opportunities. Therefore was seeing if anyone knew of other services that were available

just to clarify - I am applying to school psychology masters. I’ve been working in a school setting doing mental health programming with classrooms as well as small groups for the past year

Oh, I see. Maybe you can speak with someone in the department if the programs you are interested in or cold email/cold call some masters level school psychologists in your area and offer to buy them a cup of coffee or lunch for their time?
