Thanks so much for the motivation. I'm pretty happy with my academic work, references, and written application. perhaps my resume needed a bit more work as I do have some volunteer experience but having read other people's work, I am no where near there. Wish you the best of luck!

Thank you guys for your input, really appeciate it! fingers crossed that someone declines offers lol and we get accepted, I guess my area of improvement would need to be more experience.

Hi guys, newbie here, I was exploring these forums over the past couple of days and they have been really helpful, espeically because I have been feeling quite down lately after getting waitlisted for the 2-year MSW program at U of T. I didn't know how steep the competition was (over 800 applicants!) and I had some false hope that I would get in. I'm still hopeful though, but I don't know if it was because I didn't have enough experience or not.... my stats: Bachelor of arts in SOC (3.92 gpa in last term of studies), won some scholarships as well. I am a Board Member of an immigrant women's organization (as of October 2014) volunteer experience: peer leader for a Women's health program (9 months) (collab with women's college hospital), Community researcher for Pathways to Education in Regent Park, and Kurdish house. Both of those were only 4 months though. Do you guys think this is competitve enough? I'm staring to doubt my qualifications....I also applied to York as well but competition for that is even steeper given that they only accept around 40 applicants.
