MSW-hopeful-2016

It's not over till we've received a letter. That's the attitude I've adopted

Not sure what to make of it but from what I understand they have three waves of acceptances. What determines which wave you're accepted in is what I'm not sure about. 1st choice or 3rd choice how beer doesn't matter much once you're accepted!

Did only one person on here see a ROSI update today? Hoping the 3rd wave isn't over with.

The last round should be next week hopefully! i'll definitely post on here when I find out anything. Its so hard to study for my finals with this whole uncertainty going on right now.

The only research experience I have is my undergrad thesis. And an A in research methods. We're in a similar boat! I have to bank on my experience outside of research as well as my GPA/statements. However not hearing from them after the first 2 rounds is certainly discouraging.

not as far as I know. I think the rejections/waitlist notifications will go out after the last round of acceptances so maybe in the next 3-4 weeks

Thank you for making me feel better I actually want to specialize in mental health & health, that could definitely include geriatrics as well, as I've found their mental health to be somewhat neglected in our society. I think you doing art-based therapy is wonderful, and it definitely makes you stand out as an individual in terms of your application. Research is experience is something we can both gain if it comes down to that, I think it's a valuable asset no matter what. Lets keep our fingers crossed. Its not over until its over (and if it is, theres always next year :))

this gives me hope. I think after the first 2 waves though I've slowly accepted that whatever happens happens, and theres always things I can fix in my application and always more experience that can benefit me! I have a 3.9 gpa in my last year, about 1000 hours of unpaid work in the social service field, and 3000 hours of paid work at a retirement home (been there 5 years now), but my missing element is that I have no research experience (besides my thesis and an A in research methods) and I'm understanding that UofT obviously values research extremely highly. It's so easy to go from confident to completely discouraged really quick

I'm in my last semester and getting through these final exams is killing me because my future is so up in the air. I really hate this huge gap of waiting time we're given to find out. My good friend is applying to physiotherapy in Ontario and every applicant finds out on May 20th whether they've been accepted rejected or waitlisted. I would much rather it be that way as opposed to this long gruelling process.

hahahah looks like theres a lot of us waiting for U of T. It's killing me

doesn't look like it's today the stress is killing. the good thing is we can have a stress-free weekend knowing we won't hearing until at least Monday.

i was under the impression it was to see how many accept from the first round, and then they go from there. I could be wrong though!

patiently waiting for the 2nd wave of UofT admissions.........ahhhhhh it hurts

Perfect. Thanks! Back to the waiting game...:(

Just want to see if anyone else has seen a change in their ROSI status for the 2 year MSW, I'm assuming they'll send out more offers next week?

Neither does mine, I think we should give up checking for today since its already 4:30 basically. Acceptances will come in waves. Lets not give up hope its only been a day!

I hope not. From what I know they go out in waves.

anyone else not see their ROSI changed yet and want to freak out.... CONGRATS TO ALL THOSE ACCEPTED though!!!!! i'm still anxiously going to wait this out.

That makes two of us going crazy.

haha!! you just made me even more nervous. I need the wait to end already

Someone posted earlier in this forum that they contacted Angela about sending updated resumes and she replied that they will only be looking at the hours up until December.

Glad to know i'm, not the only one freaking out about the 2 year MSW at U of T. I check Rosi like 10x a day haha! even though it's still too early.

I've only applied to the 2 year MSW at U of T. The program pretty much fits my interests perfectly, and i've applied to collaborate in Addiction Studies, which is the area I wish to pursue after graduation. People heard back in mid-march last year so until then I think i'm going to try my best to forget about it. I have 2 courses plus the second half of my honours thesis to worry about right now (all the data analysis and fun stuff). It's nice to know you're not alone in these things!! Best of luck to you

I'm definitely having a hard time focusing on my classes this semester. We're in the same boat! It's hard but you have to somehow not focus on the future because what I'm telling myself is that if I don't get in, my GPA is at stake with these classes so I'll regret not trying my hardest or remaining focused.

Anyone know when 2 year MSW acceptances for U of T started to roll in last year? I never paid attention to last year's forum and theres too many pages for me to dig through
