Thanks for asking @KarebearSW! And yay @Inspired2017 for knowing about this group! I just asked to join. Hoping to meet other U of T ers

Yes, I'd applied to Carleton's advanced standing and was accepted a few weeks ago with funding. However, I decided to go to U of T. I'd originally applied to Carleton because they offer a policy specialization that was placement based. I want to do mental health policy for youth but as I read more and more about it, it seemed like the policy was more welfare-specific and didn't allow for much specialization beyond that. However, that was just my take! If you have any specific questions I *might* be able to answer them but likely not. Message if you'd like Seems to not be many other Carleton people on here.

Congrats!! So Exciting.

That sounds like a really good sign to me. I'm also jealous, as I didn't think I had a chance of getting into U of T so I didn't apply for OGS -- now that I was accepted, I'm having some SERIOUS regrets. This is a first positive step for you!

I know this has been chatted about already but I can't seem to find it in the last forum -- Does anyone know the program size for U of T?? (specifically year 2/advanced standing). Something is telling me it's 100 but I have no idea where I got that number from lol

Congrats on UBC, @LaingerMAMSW! Hopefully U of T updates 2-years soon!! I second that. I would've felt SO lost and overwhelmed during this process if not for this community. None of my peers from my BSW are applying to grad school yet, and it's been so nice to talk with people that understand. THANKS EVERYONE just for being here!

Ok I got my letter yesterday!! Can't believe I got it out here in the prairies before you in ON but maybe they're just.. unorganized? But I've never read on any forum that there was a mistake on ROSI so I'm so confident you'll get your letter soon. Also I was accepted to the mental health stream (adv standing). And was also accepted at Carleton.

I was actually so excited to go home from work and check my mail... Darn. Here's SO hoping it's soon. Are you 100% convinced you'll accept U of T?

NO YOU'RE NOT IMPATIENT this is my exact life. Though I live in Winnipeg so I thought it was just me.

Anyone have any suggestions re: decision making? I was offered funding at my second choice school but not at my first. I know it's the best dilemma in the world to have but I'm just curious how other people have/would make those kinds of decisions?

I keep checking ROSI to make sure it hasn't changed and that this isn't all some ridiculous dream... the letter means ROSI is legit. I'm in the same boat!

Or anything from Carleton? Still waiting to hear about advanced standing. I know not many people on here applied to Carleton but any word..?

Congrats!!! Well deserved

Mine still says under review as well! And my last name is Baker, so definitely first if they go alphabetically. According to other forms, I believe there should be multiple waves even for advanced standing? Though now I'm second guessing myself. Please don't give up hope - so few of us say invited, and this is only the beginning for ALL schools. Best of luck everyone!!

Guys! My ROSI says I'm invited to U of T's advanced standing! I think that means I got in?
