Hey everyone
I am also new to the forums this year....I've been following this year’s discussion for a while now (as well as previous years) and finally decided to create an account. I have applied to York, UofT and Ryerson MSW (advance standing) programs for fall 2014 amission. It's going to be a long wait but I'm hoping for the best as I'm sure the rest of you are.
In 2011 I applied to the MSW programs at York and Laurier and as a plan B –the post-degree BSW at York.I wasn't accepted into either MSW program, but got into the post-degree BSW at YorkU, which I am currently finishing up. While I wanted to go directly into the MSW, completing the BSW has definitely given me a chance to boost my GPA and gain experience through a placement + during the two years I have also had the time to volunteer and gain employment in the field.
Anyhow, I feel much better about the application process this time around and relieved that all the applications have been submitted... gathering all the materials felt like a course in itself!
