Here is the Facebook group for anyone going to York U 2018 https://www.facebook.com/groups/185474341946292/

Yes, same here as well. From my understanding, they give RA/TA/GA to all students! Did you check out your letter under communications online regarding minimum funding? According to Pam, we don't have to compete for that. I also did some looking into the RA/TA/GA jobs on the york cupe website and it just all looks amazing!

Me too! I was accepted to York back in February and just got accepted into ryerson last weekend, and was also waitlisted into uoft! I don't know how that's even possible to be wait listed when I was accepted to two other programs. I've been going through all the pros and cons of both schools and the funding york offers always seems to out weight ryerson. I'm living down town Toronto, and ryerson is a skip away from me. What have you been thinking about the two schools!?

Turns out I was accepted into ryerson a few weeks ago. A neglected voicemail From ryerson was stored on my phone for a for weeks and I didn't notice!

Just got an email from ryerson that my status has updated, but it looks like it takes a bit before that changes online to see if it's good or bad news!

Congrats!!

If you don't mind me asking, what is your GPA and did you apply for advanced stnadidng?

I believe last year results started rolling out on march 6, so should be any day!

I can not wait any longer to get the York admissions/funding in the mail. If anyone has received their package yet, please let us know! Thank you thank you!

To everyone on here who had graduated from the York MSW program, do you remember how long after your acceptance that you received your official letter / funding package in the mail? Thanks!

I got an email first and then my status changed two days later and then I was able to accept online.

I was accepted into a graduate program via email Feb 24 @ York

From school mostly. Yourself?

Congratulations! I'll see you this Autumn, i'll be in the full time advance standing!

I went on a campus tour two days ago and found out a lot of these questions from the tourer. Bringing a car is very expensive. The parking inside the campus is $500 per 3 months. There are these home just outside the campus for student to rent (not associated with the campus) and sometimes you can rent a spot there for like $50. There are lots of residence options. If you are 24+ I believe you are eligible for mature housing. Otherwise, there are lots of other option to share rooms or share houses, etcs,. The meal hall, I think they call it student hall, is HUGE. There are like 30 spots or more to get food from, they have a salon, dentists, salons, doctors, pubs, a huge shoppers, etc etc. If you swing back to the forum started the beginning of this year (Canadian MSW waiting game 2017) you'll see near the beginning a length post about the program. Aside from it being not clinical, it's a very competitive program and has a great reputation. They only accept 20-30 people and basically offer a graduate assistantship to everyone (all these details are on the website) values at $5000-$8000 working somewheres like 135 hours over the three terms (adv standing) that you go there. Also TTC transit passes for student are $119 a month and it's easy to get there via subway/bus.
