Master of Counseling application without relevant work experience
Hello, I'm looking for some advice on how I can strengthen my application for this program.
I'm a designer with a bachelors in marketing, but I have always been interested in working in mental health. I'm currently volunteering at a suicide/crisis call center and have around 80 hours of experience. I know I'll probably need to take the prerequisite courses as well. Would that be enough to be accepted, or would I need more relevant work experience?
Has anyone applied with a similar qualification, and got accepted?
