I got a call from Angela about my 2-year MSW acceptance today! I am still in shock and trying to process the information. Let me know about the Facebook page!

I just received my letter from U of T and I was put on a Wait-List. I am not holding my hopes up too much, but at least I know that with improvements to my application and extra experiences I have an even better chance when I re-apply. I heard some say that they've sent it their updated resumes during the waiting period. Should I send in an updated personal statement too? Congratulations to everyone who got in!

That's good to know! I don't really want to go back to University to take more courses. I switched my major midway through my undergrad, so I had to take an extra fifth year. At this point, I am way too burnt out from school so I will only return unless it is super necessary. Thanks

Being a Laurier undergrad and also working at the MSW faculty, I am definitely biased towards it! There are lots and I mean LOTS of placement opportunities within the area and the staff at Laurier are very supportive. Do you mind sharing how you 'sold' your experience? And just maybe how you went about working abroad? I always wanted to teach abroad when 'the right time' came about and it seems it might be the right time now. Thank you in advance! I really appreciate your reply

I just recently found out about this forum and it seems like such a great place! So many supportive and kind individuals At this point, I got rejected by Laurier (not surprising because I am a Laurier undergrad and they don't usually accept their own to Masters programs) and I am still waiting for U of T but I am losing hope because I am still 'under review' and nothing on ROSI. But! I am not overly upset about it because I think it is only making me more committed to Social Work and encourages me to try that much harder. I just need some advice. I was thinking about doing a one year college post-grad certificate program, administration within non for profit sector. I think doing this will increase my gpa when re-applying and maybe opens up some employment opportunities within the field. My other thoughts were doing au pair abroad with children or applying to teach English abroad. Do you guys have any thoughts? I feel any one of these options won't hurt my application when I re-apply. But maybe someone has had similar experiences or knows someone and can provide some words of wisdom Just looking for some ideas Thanks in advance!
