Hey friends I applied in 2014 for the MSW, and I was accepted to both Laurier and Carleton, and I am now attending Carleton's MSW program. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. I was really active on these boards last year and it's great to see another community forming again this year.

I also have similar questions. Any luck?

For those who were accepted to Carleton, here is the FB group https://www.facebook.com/groups/388404831356838/

Hey For anyone who's been accepted and is attending Laurier (2 year) and has Facebook, please join our group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1397129410607604/

Hey If there are any Canadians on this forum who have been accepted to Wilfrid Laurier's 2 Year MSW program, make sure to join our Facebook group (if you have Facebook) Hope to see some of you there! https://www.facebook.com/groups/1397129410607604/

I was also waitlisted at UofT. My letter was dated April 8th, and I received it in Montreal on April 13th

Hi mijj_wa, I was really set on Carleton originally, and since I was waitlisted at Carleton but accepted to Laurier, I will be attending Laurier. I'm curious to know why you chose Carleton over Laurier. I haven't been able to find a lot of information to compare the two besides the fact that Laurier has 3 placements, in comparison with Carleton who has two. Are there any specific reasons why you chose Carleton over Laurier? Personally, it was more for the location that I wanted Carleton. I'm just curious

I second this information! Knowing the format and if having a part-time job is possible, would be great. Ellogartz - I found an outline online. Fall: 5 core courses (all theory) Winter: Practicums with 2 courses Spring/Summer: Practicum with 2 courses Fall: Practicum with 1 course Winter: 2 electives and 2 core courses

Congrats!!!

AMetallo - For unpaid work I volunteered at a sexual assault centre for 3 years where I had different positions and took on different projects. I also volunteered for 3 organizations that dealt with empowering/gender identities and sexualities/advocacy work. I was also on a communications team for a feminist magazine. For paid work, I've been working at Citizenship and Immigration Canada for almost two years. I had a summer paid internship at the Office for Students with Disabilities, and the previous year I worked as a camp counsellor through the YMCA. I think that about sums it for me, I hope this helps. Also if you have any further questions about work experience/personal statement, please feel free to PM me. I am definitely not an expert but I can try to help

AMetallo, I applied with a 3.68 - 3.72 (in that range) out of 4.0, and I have 3609 hours of mixed paid and unpaid work. So I definitely fit closer to the 3500 range.

Congrats!!

Thank you! Don't give up hope, there's still a chance

Hey If anyone is interested in making a Facebook group for Laurier (2year) let me know! I don't mind creating one but I just need to add 1 member while creating it in order for it to work. There are previous previous groups for 2012,13,14,15 and 16 but none for 2017 yet.

I was accepted to Laurier (2year) and mine only changed after I received the email. Once in the acceptance email you get all the necessary information to log-in as well as your new email/password etc. So personally, I wouldn't think too much about LORIS because it doesn't tell you anything (unfortunately).
