So kind of a weird question, Does anyone know what schools really prioritize a GPA? I know experience matters everywhere but are there any schools that are more GPA focused than anything else?

Fingers crossed!!!!

I'm so happy I could help and I hope you have a wonderful Easter. No news yet. I am hoping maybe something this week but trying to limit how often I check Quest. I'm anxious myself so everytime I see the word "waitlist" I kind of get disappointed all over again

I didn't convocate until October so almost two months after I started the BSW, I just provided transcripts showing successful completion of those last courses and it was okay. I want to say there were a few people in my boat as well

I know it seems like such a hard road but this experience is only going to make you an even better social worker. Navigating these huge emotions of powerlessness and anxiety will enhance your empathetic responses in an incredibly meaningful way. If it helps I didn't finish my last credits for my first degree until the August before I started the University of Waterloo, it was totally fine

There are even some schools of thought that believe a BSW is more employable because BSW positions are typically more entry level and employers may be reluctant to hire someone with an MSW because they wouldn't stay long. Also with a BSW, a MSW is only 1 year so you're not actually losing any time. Hope this was helpful!

Let me know what she says. Waitlists are really tricky because its so hard to make any other plans

It keeps quoting the wrong message! I'm fascinated by the idea of writing to admissions, I would love to hear what everyone else says about it. My first instinct would be that if the waiting list is ranked it may not make a difference however I don't know if anything would preclude them from adjusting the ranking....

I can't speak to that because I didn't have the option for a January start. Did they start that this year?

Hi Calendar Girl From one waitlistee to another, hugs! Secondly lots of people in my current cohort came from the waitlist. If you're so inclined speak to the faculty regarding the pt option which you can do in only five terms. My friend was waitlisted last year and went that route and she's very happy!

Congrats CB_MSW!

Friday around 11am. From what I've seen Friday was waitlist, the weekend was denials and Monday/Tuesday seemed to be the admits. My fingers are crossed for you. Is Waterloo your first choice? It was the only place I applied to

I was waitlisted Still checked quest a few times to see if they changed their minds but no such luck. My fingers are crossed still but trying to be realistic.

Thank you CalenderGirl, I'm rooting for you too. And yes, I can completely relate to the feeling of not being "good enough". I'd reckon that the emotional journey of a graduate applicant might make some interesting social work research one day! The faculty has been quite good and I definitely feel as though I have learned a lot

And when you decline, if you could just demand that I take your spot that'd be fantastic
