No, The Advanced Standing Program

Sent from Laurier: Good morning, Rebecca It is not our policy to inform applicants of the decision via phone or email. However, decisions were made earlier than expected and the decision letters were mailed last Thursday. You should be receiving notification within the next couple of days. Regards, Lynn

I have applied to UNBC for their MEd program in Counselling as well as Laurier and University of Regina for their MSW Advanced Standing Programs. I have recently heard back from all three schools, as they have confirmed applications and are in the midst of reviewing applications. Laurier emailed me with this response: " Offers to the MSW Advanced Standing (full-time) program will begin to be sent out late February. " UNBC: . .."It is usually around the latter half of April before people find out if they have been accepted." U of Regina: "..Please note that the reviewing procedure is a timely process and can take up to 6 weeks for the Academic Unit to make their recommendation. It is usually around mid March that applicants hear if they have been accepted or not" I recognize that both UNBC and U of Regina are schools that many of you have not applied to. I am currently a clinical social worker on a military base looking at obtainning my MSW in order to further my clinical work. Last year I graduated with my BSW and was very lucky to be offered a full time clinical counselling position a few months after. During my fourth year of UNI, I applied for my MSW at U of T (where I was waitlisted) and York where I was Rejected. This year, I decided to apply to schools that were less competitive, hoping to increase my chances. I did get accepted to University of Queensland (in Australia) but financially it was impossible..60,000, YIKES). Best of luck to everyone Becki
