My status on Myfile changed to "reviewed - unsuccessful" for York's 2 Year MSW today. Congrats to everyone who got in and good luck to those on the waitlist!

I believe she said "We are still checking over applications and making decisions but we have sent out our initial offers of admission and waitlist offers, so check Myfile and your e-mail." So, I don't know how likely it is that they would have another round of admissions.. I mean, if they've already sent out waitlist offers, in order for another round of offers to be made, everyone on the waitlist would have to decline, right? It wouldn't hurt to give them another call, honestly, and just ask them where they are with more offers.

So just a heads up for everyone regarding York's 2 Year MSW - I just spoke to York's graduate admissions office. I was calling them to see whether if I accept my offer to the Post-Degree BSW, if they won't accept me into the MSW because they'll be able to see that I accepted the BSW, and she said it won't have any baring. Anyways, she did say that they have sent out their initial offers of admission and their waitlist offers for the 2 Year MSW program, so she told me to check my Myfile and my e-mail (I didn't tell her I have been checking multiple times a day for the past month, lol). She said they're still going through all the applications and making decisions, but to check Myfile. My Myfile still says 'No Decision Made' so I'm guessing it doesn't look too good for me. I only had 10 days to reject/accept my BSW acceptance, so hopefully it is the same for the MSW and more decisions will be coming soon.

I just checked my SGS and it says Decision Made, while ROSI still says No Registration History. Just waiting for my rejection/waitlist letter now. I live in Saskatchewan so it will probably take a while to arrive.

Hey, I am very much in the same position as you. This year I applied for U of T and York's 2 year MSW, York's Post-Degree BSW and Carleton's BSW, to maximze my chances of getting into something. I thought I had a decent application and chance of getting into at least York's MSW but after checking out this forum for the past few months, I realise I am way under-qualified! On Monday, my York Myfile account updated to show I was accepted into the Post-Degree BSW. I imagine if they invited me to the BSW they won't be accepting me into the MSW which is disappointing but completely understandable given the qualifications of everyone else here! As far as what they are looking for, I can tell you a bit about my application for the BSW. York is very much focused on anti-oppression and the like, so I tried to tailor my application to this. I focused on how I wanted to combine my undergrad degree in International Development with a social work degree, to work with Canada's immigrant and refugee population. I spoke a lot about the time I spent volunteering in Latin America post-graduation and I think my application might have been positively received as well because I focused on what I don't know, and what their program would teach me. Because I learned after my undergrad that although I know a lot, I still have a lot to learn, and York's program can help me get to where I want to go. My advice would be to focus on getting unique volunteer and/or work experiences over the next several months so that your application will stand out from the rest!

Hey all, I've been lurking on this forum for a long time now. I applied to U of T 2-year, York's 2 year MSW and York's BSW. The admissions office at York recommended I apply for both programs since the MSW is so competitive. Just this morning my Myfile updated to show I've been accepted to the BSW. The MSW still says no decision. So hopefully the MSW decisions will come soon!
