A Q&A video about my FOUR different psychology master's selection processes - South Africa

[@LaurenUnalomeWellnessCo]

Adding the disclaimer again because I know people skip over them 👀 Please remember that I’m not an authority figure who suddenly knows all the “secrets” about the entire process now that I’ve been accepted into a programme. I’m just a regular psychology honours graduate who decided to document my experience & upload it onto the internet. Be mindful of the types of follow-up questions that you want to ask me. Remember that I’m not a staff member, I have not started the programme yet & a lot of these processes are unique depending on which university you apply to. As always I will do my best to answer but this is my subjective experience and it is not meant to be taken as facts, ALWAYS do your own research ✌🏽

[@nandiphamotsoahae7972]

I'm here for how you accurately capture the nuances of the selection process 👌 Really appreciate you for this content because I used MANY of your tips in my own selection week 😂😂 Role-plays are the absolute pits 😭😭😂 I must say, however, I preferred online simply because I was in the comfort of my own space and that was one of the few things I could control. This was extremely calming and helped offset the intense nature of the process. Nevertheless, Congratulations again for making it into the NWU program 🥳🥳 really well-deserved 👏👏👏 Cudos to you for making the Counseling Psych Master's Class of 2022 🥂💁‍♀️

[@LaurenUnalomeWellnessCo]

NUANCED! 🤌🏾 That is the perfect word for this entire process, I love it when people like you just ✨understand✨ I’m so glad that my tips came in handy 🥺 That’s such an interesting viewpoint, I have no doubt that you’re not the only person who felt that way too 🙌🏽 Thank you Nandipha, so incredibly much 🤍

[@znkambule8604]

Congratulations 👏👏 looking forward to more videos of your journey in the masters program and beyond 😀😀

[@LaurenUnalomeWellnessCo]

Thank you so much, I hope I get to make them - I’ll have to check with the department and make sure that it’s okay to do so 🤍

[@laurenparkes5850]

I was literally so excited that you got in that I woke my husband up to tell him when I saw your post 🤣. I've been following your journey from the start and have been rooting for you! NWU is my alma mater❤️. Thanks for all the awesome, informative content. You go girl!

[@LaurenUnalomeWellnessCo]
