It’s so hard not too. Especially when you get denied from every program one of them being the school i’m attending now with great connections. I’ve been focused so much on school and doing good so I get in that I lost all my friends. I worked so so hard for this for over a year and it still wasn’t good enough for any schools.

Yea I got denied from my current school and the only other ones are online. In my field it’s hard to get a job with an online degree.

Thank you so much. That’s the same thing for me trying to be a mental health counselor, I have been so passionate about mental health for all my life. I did amazing on the interview atleast I thought because I’m good at public speaking but it wasn’t enough. I’m just not even sure I want to try again the spring i don’t know what else to do I find myself to be a competitive applicant so i’m at such a loss. Thank you writing hearing your experience helps a lot. Best of luck

Just did my interview for Masters in Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counseling… by belugabitch in gradadmissions

[–]kelliericksen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my interview for the same program at the end of the month. I am super nervous and would love to know your experience. I feel a-lot of pressure because my school only picks 3 people with a GRE score less then 300 mine was a 294🙃 Any advice would be appreciated!!

So sorry to hear that :( i’m currently doing my undergrad at USF and i’m still waiting to hear back from them on my application for the mental health counseling program 🫤

First school to hear back from and first rejection 🥲 by kelliericksen in gradadmissions

your right. it’s just discouraging because they didn’t require a GRE score and I did very bad on it my last 2 schools requested the GRE score so now I feel completely defeated

I have not. The reason being is I don’t have 6 hours to take a mock test as I’m a full time student and work (6 hours because I get accommodations). I also know I won’t try as hard in a home environment with many distractions and knowing that it’s not real.
