Good luck guys!! It is hard to stay positive and confident in the face of grad school admissions. I am feeling the same. What is meant to be will be. xx

phd2msw got a reaction from TheGrapefruit in Canadian Universities MSW. The waiting game 2016 admissions
Hey! I also applied there in the 2 year program and (also) haven't heard back. From what I gather they take all kinds of people with different backgrounds, marks (within range of their cut-off) and experience, paid or voluntary. From what I learned, they are really holistic in their assessment of applicants. So you could have a B in you research course, with killer references and an awesome resume. You just never know. When I applied in Dec., I wasn't finished my research methods course so they won't see my mark for it. I think this makes my chances a little weaker. Hang in there and don't give up hope yet. I'm trying not to, despite occasionally feeling negative about my chances.

Waiting is so hard!
maybe they'll make their decisions sooner and you won't have to wait that long. Fingers crossed!!

Anyone else obsessively checking ROSI? I feel like if the admissions committee saw how many times a day I log in to check, they would think twice about considering me
Someone else here said March 11 is the earliest 2yr applicants could hear back. Time is crawling for me. This is so stressful. I dropped out of a PhD program in order to pursue social work and I'm trying to be cautiously optimistic, but if I don't get in this round (which is a huge possibility given the statistics) I will be completely lost and out of a job (I was an RA at in my department and now that I quit, I have to find work elsewhere). Right now I have a short contract, but if I'm not going to UofT in september, I have to find long term work in the meantime and figure out my living situation.
I guess at the end of the day, I am doing what is best for me in the long run. It just sucks for your life to be in limbo like this. But, the overall message on this thread seems to be to keep trying each year and to not lose sight of our goals. Just needed to vent to people who understand.
