Hi, I also got waitlisted 

Was pretty sad about it, but I am going to look at my other options and maybe consider reapplying next year. I am still hoping I will hear positive news for York, but I doubt it since they only accept around 40 applicants. 

Good luck to everyone who got accepted

I called York today to inquire about my application status and was informed that decisions will be mailed out and updated on the website "very soon". Probably in 2-3 weeks. This wait is killing me

Just fyi to those applying to UofT.  Last year I had contacted them to ask what the going average was for those admitted to the program.  The answer I got: "high B+"  was the 'average'.  This of course means that you have many people admitted above and below that.  I presume that those with a weaker gpa get in due to strong experience etc. Also, people with A- averages have been waitlisted/rejected in the past.  I guess it boils down to how well you demonstrated your fit with the program.  For instance, if you say you're interested in AOP but they focus on research, you may not get admitted even though you have a killer gpa.

The good news is that we are now in Feb so we are inching closer to decisions!  Hang in there, guys....   

I do hope I am a good fit for U of T. It's my first choice and my interest is research, and I did state this in my written statement but I emphasized my focus on quantitative methods. I do hope this doesn't lessen my chances of being accepted

Your situation sounds much like mine! Except you're about .1 ahead of me in terms of GPA. But I also have about a years worth of paid research experience and I've only volunteered for about year. Aside from that I have a lot of personal experience that I think might benefit me but I'm still not sure if I am a competitive applicant. 

 

Best of luck to you!

Thank you, and best of luck to you too. What kind of research did you do?

My research is on quantitative analysis.

Hi Guys, 

 

I have applied to U of T and York U to their two year MSW programs. I have a GPA of 3.8 for my senior courses and a 3.4 subGPA. I have some paid research experience and I have been volunteering for the past few years. I am really nervous about my application, and have been checking my status everyday. I wish everyone the best of luck.
