  1. Not sure if this helps, but I received my acceptance from Ryerson last week. I will likely be declining and attending York's MPPAL however, so a spot will open up soon. Good luck everyone!
  2. Thank you I received an email from the program admin this afternoon, my RAMSS hasn't updated yet though.
  3. Just a heads up, I received my acceptance from Ryerson today!
  4. Thank you, I was in shock when Jas (admin) called to tell me I was accepted to the program, I actually asked her if she was sure that it wasn't a mistake ?‍♀️ Good luck with your applications!!
  5. Hi All I work full-time in Toronto so my options for programs were a bit limited in terms of part-time programs, so I applied to both York's MPPAL and Ryerson's program on part-time basis. I was accepted to the MPPAL back in late January, and have accepted my offer as it was first preferred choice (overall better program and much more impressive alumni list). I haven't heard from Ryerson but the Admin had said earliest they will reach out is end of February. I thought I would provide my stats as a thank you to all those who provided theirs in years past on here, hope it helps someone else out! Education: HBA in Speech & Language Science (cGPA: 3.33, 2yrGPA: 3.67) - I made deans list 4th year and had some extenuating circumstances which I noted in my letter that impacted my grades in first and second year. Post-Grad Certificate in Public Admin to be conferred June 2021 (cGPA: 3.83, completed PT while working). Completed a survey assignment at part of a course that related to my work place, my research from the survey ended up being presented to senior management. Work: Worked at a crown agency for 6 years (summer student to contact centre representative to an office administrator to my current role as a workforce analyst) Volunteer/Leadership Experience: Note-Taker (undergrad), VP of HR Students Offering Support (undergrad for 1 year), Pan Am/Parapan Ambassador, Toronto Distress Line Volunteer & Trainer References: two profs from post-grad who were really supportive and my manager Overall I kept my resume short, total of 1.5ish pages with only 2-3 points for each work experience and 1 line for volunteer. For my education portion, I did specify major research poster assignments, any scholarships, and related research accomplishments (i.e. my above survey presentation to senior management). I also put both cumulative GPA and Final 2 year GPA.
  6. Hello all , I am applying to UofT's 2 year MSW program and Lakehead's HBSW program as my backup. I really have no idea how my application will stand up against other applicants and am worried as I struggled in school during my first and second year due to some cicumstances which left me struggle to catch up in upper years and I have little direct social work experience as I kind of discovered that it was what I wanted to pursue late into 4rth year of my bachelors. But I figured what the heck, it can't hurt to try! For my UofT application these are the main things - My average for upper year courses is around 80% or 3.7 (on the ORPAS chart) in my upper year courses that would be counted... and 77% overall average. - Sadly only a 79% research methodology- I'm currently volunteering at a Distress Line Centre (36 hours of in-class training and currently 42 hours on the phone lines... hopefully I will have 100 by the end of the year) - I have been worked as a special needs counsellor supporting children with autism, down syndrome, and other special needs at community camps for 3 summers (900 hours)- 800 hours as a summer and winter camp counsellor leading programs for childrens aged 2 to 15- 200 hours working/volunteering for Pan Am and Para Pan Am Games - 100 hours volunteering as an activity leader at Children's Autism Support Centre evening programs - 180 hours volunteering as the VP of Human Resources at Students Offering Support (SOS) at Brock University over one school year - 150 hours as a Health and Dental Plan Assistant where I helped students with filing the correct health and dental claims - 100 hours working as a registration clerk for the Federation of Humanities and Social Sciences For my HBSW application all is the same except my average that they would be using would be around an 83%. Any suggests would be really appreciated, I have no idea what I am doing! Goodluck everyone!
