Thanks @HBSW2021 that is very helpful! How have you found the program so far?

Hi all. Does anyone know how the Lakehead BSW program went this year? Was it online or in person?

Thanks so much for your support & insights @SwagMaster & @IGee!

Does anyone know the likelihood of getting into UofT without significant research experience?

Hi @magfish! Would you be able to expand more on your experience at St. Thomas? What was the application process like? Were you allowed to choose placements outside of Fredericton? Thanks so much :)

@ariel1 thanks for the info! Would you be willing to share your GPA & research methods marks with us? Thanks!

Click on the applicant tab & then click on "my application status". It should show a little grey box with your status on it.

@moli I was just waitlisted at the Orillia campus

I've been wait listed too! Just like @moh230 I didn't get any e-mails, I just checked the "application status" tab on the Lakehead myInfo page

Ugh! What? That really is a vague answer, especially since all of us are so eager for closure.

@nutella06 omg what was her answer exactly?

For those of you who applied to Windsor, you might want to check your eGas...I decided to take a break from checking LORIS & checked my eGas instead only to find out that I've been rejected from Windsor -___- I'm pretty annoyed that they didn't send any e-mails about it. I checked the application status page & they made a decision on March 29th but I never received any notification of it. So frustrated right now...I'm drowning my sorrows in a Toblerone bar loll

@nutella06 I keep refreshing my browser every 10 minutes haha

@nicoleMSW i feel you! I haven't received any e-mails either...I'm at work right now & ready to cry, I wish they'd just send me something & put me out of my misery

@hornets14 what letter does your last name start with?

With @tnt92's previous comment in mind, I have a question for all the folks who have been accepted at UofT: what perspectives/experiences do you bring to the table that other people don't? What makes you unique? What factors do you think contributed to your acceptance?

Me too! My wait list letter finally made it all the way out to London...just waiting on Laurier, Windsor, & Lakehead now

Hey @UofT2015! Did you/most of your classmates have a significant amount of research experience before you got accepted at UofT? Thanks!

Thanks @moh230! That's so weird, because mine just says: " Final decisions have now been made regarding this year’s applicants to the MSW program at King’s University College. I regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you a position in our program this year." Its a bummer but at least now we're one step closer to finding out where we will be in the fall.

@moh230 and @nicoleMSW did your rejection letters from Western say that your non-academic requirements affected your chances of getting in? Or did you guys e-mail the admissions office & ask them? My rejection letter didn't say anything about why I didn't get in

I received a rejection e-mail from Western around 4:00 PM today. My last name starts with "D"

@nicoleMSW and @SW_Student thank you so much for your insights. Its such a relief to connect with others who are in the same boat

Do any of you feel like the stress from waiting to hear back from schools is taking a toll on your interpersonal relationships? In early January, my partner accepted a job offer in Toronto. The only Toronto program that I've applied to is the 2-year program at UofT (all of the other programs that I've applied to are scattered around SW Ontario). In a perfect world, I would get into UofT & move to Toronto to be with my partner but we clearly don't know if that's going to happen. The stress of the situation is really wearing me down & I would like to know if any of you are in a similar position.

@Dry_Guy I'm 26. It took me 5 years to finish my undergrad & then I did a 1-year social service work diploma at Fanshawe. I worked for a bit then went back to university to get all the pre-reqs I needed for my MSW. This is my 2nd time applying & the wait is making me mad/sad/frustrated! I wish the next few months would fly by!

Thanks for your help @tnt92! That definitely gives me a fresh new perspective on things Have a great weekend
