  1. Thanks for the info! I mean it's late May, so I hope there are no financial repercussions (other than the $500 deposit I paid). I don't live in Toronto, so would I have to go in person to sign anything? How was your experience in doing this? Were they accommodating? I'm actually starting to kind of worry a bit. I've tried to search in terms of dates and last date to withdraw without financial penalty, but I've found nothing.
  2. I have paid the deposit and my acceptance went through. I just don't know how to officially withdraw. I'm not going to withdraw until I send all my documents in to U of T. I know I can withdraw, I just don't know the process. Thanks for all the kind words! To those who are going to U of T....see you in the fall!!
  3. I just got accepted to U of T from their waitlist! I got a call from U of T today and they confirmed my offer, and I accepted over the phone. Obviously, I have to accept via snail mail, however, I was wondering how do I withdraw from Ryerson since I officially confirmed my acceptance. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of this? I looked on the Ryerson website, and I couldn't find anything. U of T was my main choice after Carleton, and Carleton isn't using their waitlist this year.
  4. I have to hear back from York still and I'm waitlisted at U of T, and Carleton. Ultimately, my first choice is Carleton but the student limit is 25 and I doubt the wait list will move. Ryerson is a good school and I like the AOP approach to social work. I know York operates on the same approach, so if I get accepted to both then I'll have to really consider it. Thanks! It has been a very stressful time for all of us I'm sure, but now that something is final, it is a HUGE weight lifted off my shoulders. This message board has been a great resource for me!
  5. Same here.... ***Update: Mail was at my old address....I got accepted to Ryerson!!!!
  6. I just moved....so I don't know if it's at my new or old address. AND I'm out of town. This is the WORST. Thanks for the info!!
  7. I don't understand what's going on. Is it just me? I applied for the 1 year MSW program at York and Ryerson and haven't heard anything back at all. No mail, no email, no MyFile update, nothing. I've called as well and received no help. I know Ryerson is still to make decisions and that's fine, but York is killing me here. Has anyone heard anything about the 1 year program? I read a while back that someone got in, but since then I haven't come across anything else... ....starting to panic here.... Update: Ok. Got through to York's social work department and they have sent out offers in the mail throughout this month I guess. MyFile should update automatically in regards to declines and acceptances, so I guess no news is good news then. Ugh....starting to really become anxious...
  8. Nothing from York or Ryerson for me. Starting to become overly anxious. Congrats on everyone who were accepted!
  9. Be patient! just kidding. But yeah, I'm right there with you on this one. My partner and I are pretty much in limbo right now in terms of where we're going to be living come this September. Our lease ends at the end of August, and I'm pretty much at the point of not knowing what to do. This potential acceptance will also mean a fresh start for both of us in a new city. Frankly, Peterborough is not the city we can sustain a life in where it's rare to find full time employment (even in my chosen field). I have an B+/A- average as well, and I have 5 years in the field working with children and youth with mental health diagnosis, children's aid, and now a crisis shelter. So, you're not alone in this. I'm literally driving my partner up the wall due to my anxiety and stressed demeanor. They really need to figure out a better way to deliver acceptances on time. I think someone should do a study on the effects of graduate admission timelines and one's mental health. Could be interesting?
  10. Well if York has sent out offers for 1st year FT MSW, then I'm probably not getting in since I have no change on "MyFile". (No Decision Yet). Ryerson is also taking forever too. I'm starting to really get frustrated and also become anxiety ridden. I check my mailbox, email, MyFile, and RAMSS everyday, sometimes multiple times a day. I feel like just calling it a day, since I'm pretty much under the impression I'm not going anywhere this year. Agh.
  11. Still waiting. Did you receive an acceptance by mail? Congrats!
  12. I've thought this too Jenste. I'm assuming that OSAP or any student loans agency would grant more for graduate programs. I would hope at least. If not, then I would have to look at other options. I'm already looking at 35 k in students loan debt, why not another 15?
  13. I'm 25 going on 26. Never too late I say. Although, I've been working and in school since 2006. Ugh.
  14. Yeah, I got the email as well. It definitely got my hopes up to be dashed in a matter of seconds.I thought for a second that I was accepted of their waitlist. I am legitimately starting to hate the wait. Easter dinner was ridiculous. Literally every family member; "so have you heard back yet?". Since people that have applied to 2 year programs are soon to be hearing back from schools, should I be worried? (I applied to 1 yr programs). I know Ryerson emails declines, and I haven't received an email yet. However, York U still hasn't said anything and I've tried calling them to be put on hold every time for way too long. Maybe I'm being impatient, but based on the outcome, my partner and I are looking to move. So coupled with choosing a school, we have to choose a prospective city where we're going to settle down as well. (Peterborough isn't suitable for two new graduates; no stable work). Needless to say, I'm stressed.
