Hi Jennbe, I was just wondering if you could give me any more information about the program and what you applied with when you were accepted ?

hi everyone, I hope you all had a good summer! Last year I applied for the 2 year MSW program at Laurier and U of T and the one year bsw at lakehead. I was wait listed at lakehead but wasn't successful. I feel like my downfall was my grades but I have graduated in april in criminal justice and public policy and minoring in child and family studies with an 81% average so even though it isn't as high as I would like it to be i feel more comfortable with it. I was planning on reapplying to my msw again this year but I have received a contract position with the ministry of education as a program advisor and will be working fulltime and therefore unable to be in school full time. I still really want to have an education in the social work field so I am looking at applying to u of vic bsw online program and dalhousies online bsw program I was just wondering if anyone has applied to these/have completed them? and how competitive they are? As I said I have an A- average, i am working full time as a program advisor, i volunteered at cas for the past 3 years in a variety of different programs, i volunteered this past summer at a youth shelter and i was on the board for MADD for a year

Congrats on your acceptances ! I was just wondering what your volunteer/work experience is and your school background ?

just so you know Sonya emailed again and decisions have been made and they are being posted now but they could take a day or two to show up on your account good luck

I to have not heard back from Laurier yet either lets hope for the best

i feel the exact same way. a little bit of my anxiety has gone away ha !

Just wondering if anyone else has received an acceptance, waitlist or rejection letter from laurier for the 2-year program?

Hi, Just wondering if the 5 credits is full or half credits that they look at thanks !

Applied: MSW 2 year program at U of T and Laurier HBSW 1 year at Orillia

Hi everyone, Hope applications went well for everyone I have been following the thread for a bit and have decided to make my own post. I am applying to U of T and Laurier's MSW 2 year program and Orillia's HBSW 1 year program, all of which I am very nervous about. I am in my last year majoring in Criminal Justice and Public Policy and minoring in Child and Family Studies. I have a 78% average, which makes me nervous it will not be high enough but have done extremely well this last semester. I have been volunteering with Children's Aid for the past two year in a variety of roles and have also volunteered with MADD as a board member. This past summer I worked at the Ministry of Education under the Quality and Assurance Licensing Branch and am now working part-time during my school year as a teaching assistant in a daycare. I am hoping this will be enough to get me into one of my choices but understand how competitive this program is. Good luck to everyone !
