Hey I emailed Angela about it a while ago and she said the earliest acceptances off the wait list would be at the end of May.

Hey, I heard from Ryerson a few weeks ago that I was accepted off the wait list. You never know though because people can still get accepted elsewhere and change their minds. For example, u of t is sending out acceptances off the wait list at the end of May, if there are any. It's a popular school, so you never know... People might end up turning down Ryerson or York if their first choice is u of t. Call Ryerson if you can, the admin assistant for the msw program is really helpful. Good luck.

Hey everyone, I just confirmed my acceptance to Ryerson! Got the letter last week. Still hoping to hear from U of T (advanced standing) at the end of the month so I have some options, but I'm still really happy about Ryerson. Does anyone know much about their program? I only know what I could find online which isn't much. I'm really interested in what kind of placements they usually get for their students. If anyone has info, let me know! Thanks

For anyone who is waitlisted for Ryerson, the admin said they are sending some acceptance letters out next week!

Fyi for anyone on the wait list for u of t advanced standing: Angela said the earliest acceptance off the wait list will be at the end of May. Probably because they want our marks , etc.

Hey, I have a friend in my program who was rejected from Ryerson over email. I was waitlisted over email. Sorry I'm not sure about York.

To those who got accepted to u of t (congrats!) When did they say you needed to accept the offer by?

Hey guys, I know there's only a few of us who've applied to Ryerson but I'm wondering if anyone knows how many people are on the wait list? Or if it's ranked? I've tried contacting them about it several different ways, but no response.

I got wait listed for Ryerson last night over email. Let me know if you hear of anyone rejecting their offer to Ryerson!

Has anyone heard from Ryerson?

Thanks boo. No, I haven't heard from Ryerson

Congrats to everyone who got good news! Unfortunately I got wait listed for U of T and I'm pretty rattled about it.

Hey! I'm trying to figure out when Ryerson is sending out responses too. I hope it's soon! Judging from past forums, it was early /mid March.

Do you know if most people find out through email or snail mail?

Ahhh okay. That's really weird. Well, now I'm less confident lol. Thanks for the info!

Hey I heard the info session that they got about 300 applicants and took 150.

Hey I applied a couple of years ago to York's 2 year program. I didn't get a response until the end of June. Some other people heard sooner, but in general, they were brutal at keeping to their timeline. I think they say you're supposed to hear in April.

Does anyone know when we might hear from Ryerson? They have very limited information on their website.

Hey! I think you have a great shot at getting in. I had about the same average when I applied to Lakehead and some good volunteer experience, but definitely not as good as yours. The nice thing about Lakehead is that you can't over think it too much because the bulk of the application process is the online "test" which they give you three hours for. Last year almost 500 people applied and they accepted 60 to the Orillia campus and 20 to Thunder Bay. People who were accepted at Orillia had such a wide range of experience. I think you should play up your social service experience but also demonstrate how you're well rounded in many areas. I hope that helped. Let me know if I can answer any more questions!

Hi everyone! I'm so glad this forum is back. I wish I had been following it months ago! I'm currently doing my bsw through Lakehead's post grad program. I applied for an MSW at U of T (social justice and diversity stream) and Ryerson. I cannot tell you how stressful these last few weeks have been. Applying to grad school is like an extra course in itself. Everyone here seems like they have a lot to offer an msw program. Good luck! Let's hope we hear back ASAP!

Hey! I was accepted to Orillia... Congrats on Thunder Bay!! they only take 25 people up there so you must have impressed them. I know we're not on the same campus but I would love to join a fb group. Let me know if you start one

I was admitted to Lakehead HBSW in Orillia yesterday! I'm so relieved now I just need to find a good place to live... (Any tips would be much appreciated!) Congrats to everyone who's been accepted, and good luck to those who are waiting. Last year I didn't hear back from York's 2 year MSW until late June. It was brutal.

It sounds like you have a great chance of being accepted! I only wish they would let us know sooner since the program starts in July... Good luck!

Thanks for the input! It's helpful to know that the social work program is run out of the community centre. I originally made Orillia my first choice because it's closer, but lately I'm leaning toward Thunder Bay... To your knowledge, did many people do their placement outside of Orillia? In particular, did anyone find placements in Toronto? Just curious how difficult it may be finding a placement in a city since the program has more of a rural focus. Sorry for badgering you with questions! Your help is much appreciated
