Thank you so much everyone!! Best of luck to those of you who are still waiting. aay, I didn't have to click on anything. It just shows on the first page when I log in. smpalesh, I am going to have a really difficult time deciding on which offer to accept. I really didn't expect to get into this many programs so I just thought that the choice would be made for me. Each option has its pros and cons.

Mental health and health

Good morning guys, a heads up to all you advanced-standing applicants: My UofT ROSI status changed to "Invited" this morning! No mail yet as of Friday.

Thanks a lot.. that is awesome!! I did see a video of the interprofessional clinic online - it looks really cool. Good luck making your decision! I have been trying to convince myself that being there for the extra few months isn't a big deal. Some days it seems better than others.

I just declined my offer from Waterloo (my response was due by Thursday), so a spot will be opening. Good luck to you guys!!

I'm wondering if anyone knows current or former students from the program at UBC-Okanagan, and what their experiences have been? There seems to be less information available online for this school, but if I am accepted I will be seriously considering it.

Hey nutella! Yes - I applied to 2-year MSW programs (Laurier and UofT) 3 times and was always rejected. I think that doing the HBSW could have been the tipping point for me, but is likely related to my improved grades in the HBSW. My grades in undergrad were not nearly as strong so the HBSW gave me an opportunity to prove myself academically. I think that my statements were also a lot stronger this year because I have a much better understanding of my research and population interests. I am doing the HSBW at Renison, University of Waterloo.

I did a BA in psychology, then I worked in the field for 4 years. I did a mix of full and part-time jobs including: -fundraising for a non-profit -residential care for youth -counselling at an addiction treatment centre -crisis work at a community mental health agency During these years I also volunteered on a distress line and as a support group facilitator for men who survived childhood sexual abuse. I began a certificate in addiction studies a few years back, but it is not yet complete. I returned to school almost full time last year to complete prerequisite courses for the HBSW I was interested in. This year I am doing the one-year HBSW. My placement involves work with eating disorders. I am also volunteering as a research assistant. My grades in undergrad were very inconsistent.. probably B average at best. However, last year my average was an A- and this year so far it is an A. I know you are heart broken. I'm sure that once it settles you will find a way to make things work and life will feel more comfortable. All the best to you!

I'm so sorry smpalesh.. If I would switch with you for UofT I definitely would! This is my third time applying to Laurier.. I spent 3 years applying to 2 year MSW programs and being rejected, so I understand how painful their rejection is. I eventually did the HSBW instead. do you think you could be on the waitlist? If not, I assume you will still still be attending the program at UofT?

Thanks so much! Yes, I will be choosing Laurier over Waterloo! I'm just not that into the idea of an online program. Still waiting to hear from 2 more though, and not sure which school I would choose between them. They all have pros and cons for me.

I got the email from Laurier this morning. I have been accepted! Hoping many of you got the same email.. especially you smpalesh!

Got it! Thank you so much! Now I'm not exactly sure where to look. I don't see anything that says "invited" anywhere though.. unfortunately.

Hey guys, For those of you logging in to UofT ROSI: What are you using as your student number/ how did you get it?

Sorry to hear LP Mine doesn't say anything about rejected or accepted. It just says this: Program Master of Social Work Registration Status Full-time Term of Entry September 2015 Not sure what it means.
