Hey, i came across last year's thread a few days ago and i found it so helpful, and also pretty amazing how supportive everyone is on here! By the way, i'm Sarah, and I'm not applying to MSWs this year, but am definitely hoping to in the near future (still working on getting more volunteer experience first). I'm applying to Lakehead Orillia's 1-year HBSW and McMaster's two-year post-degree BSW, and have been accepted into George Brown's fast-track Social Service Worker diploma (my backup). I graduated from Dal in May with a BA double major in Psych and Soc/Soc Anthro, but my avg isn't particularly high (low 70's), and I don't have much in the way of volunteer work (a hospital greeter/guide and I supervised Dal's psych study centre), so I took this year off to work and volunteer… and that's why I'm thinking a BSW would be helpful. Has anyone here taken/is currently taking/heard anything about Mac or Lakehead's BSW programs (or GB's SSW diploma..)? I heard Mac only accepts 20-25 and has around 85 applicants, and Lakehead Orillia gets around 450 and accepts like 100? Ps. I just want to say that you all seem like you have amazing work/volunteer experience, and great averages so I hope you all get in somewhere this year for your MSWs!
