Hey guys! Just wanted to let you all know that I just opened my letter from U of T and I have been waitlisted! I am actually very happy about this as it is my first time applying. I feel that my GPA, written statement and references were good, but felt the major weakness on my application is my experience. I do not have any paid social work expeeience and all of my volunteer experience is with children with special needs. I am glad that I at least know I was on the right track and have already emailed the Children's Aid Society in my area to see if they have any volunteer opportunities so that I can strengthen that area of my application for next year. ... not that I have given up hope just yet! Just preparing. Good luck to everyone still waiting!

Yes, I live about 45 minutes from U of T

I just asked my mom to check the mail and my letter from U of T is there! I'm dying to know whether I am wait listed or rejected, but she refuses to open it for me, so I will have to wait another agonizing 4 hours until I am home from work! Ahhhh!

post removed, as I realized AMetallo already made a decision!

Ahh okay thanks for letting me know, dexy77! I kind of figured it would be the other way around! Thanks again!!

Thanks to all who responded! (I don't know how to quote more than one post) ... The second part of this question is: have you received any emails from York saying you are waitlisted/accepted/rejected? I have heard NOTHING from York OR U of T and I'm going nuts! Dexy77 just mentioned that have been accepted off the waitlisted for York 2 Year MSW! Do you think they will be sending out more waitlisted or should I probably consider myself rejected?

Does anyone else who applied to York 2 Year MSW still see No Decision Yet on MyFile?

I completely agree with you ... I'm pretty sure I was not successful, but I still have a tiny glimmer of hope. However, I have already started looking for ways to improve my application for next year, as I am fairly certain at this point I will not be attending grad school in September. That being said, it's not over until we have the rejection letter in our hands!

Hey Guys! Congrats again to those of you who have been accepted and fingers crossed for those of us still waiting! I applied to the 2 year MSW programs at both York and U of T and haven't heard anything yet from either. My York myfile still says No Decision Yet and my ROSI still says No Registration History. I'm trying really hard to remain positive but at this point I'm pretty much just hoping to be wait listed for at least one of the program's so that I can at least say "I was close". I just want to say that I am so happy I found this forum, because I truly thought my chances were about 50/50 after reading the admissions criteria while applying, however after reading this forum I now realize just how competitive it is and that my level of experience (the one place on my application that I feel was really lacking) is simply not enough to cut it. Maybe next year! Although there might not be a next year for me, as my "plan b" is a very different path (remaining in the financial industry where I am currently employed). However, now that I have an idea of what I was competing against for a spot, I won't be as surprised or upset if I am ultimately rejected from both programs. In any event I want to thank you all for your posts, encouragement and information over the past few months! These universities are getting some truly amazing future social workers!

To be honest, I'm really trying to remain optimistic, but with every round of acceptances that go out I feel less and less hopeful that I will get in. On the bright side, I knew before applying that my credentials might not be enough to land me a spot in the program, so I will be disappointed of course, but not surprised if I am rejected. Good luck to everyone still waiting and congrats to everyone who has been accepted so far!

CONGRATS!! That's wonderful news! You must be thrilled. Mine still has those 3 soul crushing red words. I'm terrified to check SGS and see Decision Made! Anyone else having heart failure?

I feel the EXACT same way.

I agree! I have checked at least 7 times already this morning!

Hi Everyone! This is my first post, but I have spent the last 2 days reading all 80 pages of this forum, so I feel pretty up to date on everything! I applied to the 2 year MSW programs at both York and U of T, and haven't heard anything from either school yet! Before reading all of these posts I truly felt as though my chances were 50/50. I wouldn't have been surprised if I was rejected, but I also thought I had a pretty good shot of getting in. WELL! As much as I thoroughly enjoyed reading everyone's posts and was happy to read that so many people feel the exact same way I do, it also made me 100 times more nervous! I can't believe some people have already gotten acceptances to the 2 year programs at U of T and York! Although I have thought about it every day since submitting my application, I did not think I would hear anything until April, and did not know ROSI existed! So, now I am obsessively refreshing ROSI and checking my email like the rest of you guys! All I can say is I am so happy we're in this together because this is so stressful! Fingers crossed for all of us still waiting to hear and congratulations to everyone who has received acceptances thus far!!
