I’ve been wait listed too!

Thank you! I just created my Facebook account so I will join now! Side note: I think me trying to figure out Facebook is hilarious. I feel like I should be more technologically savvy than I am...

If all decisions were out that would mean rejections and waitlists too right? Has anyone heard either one? I’m assuming I fall under one of those categories but I haven’t heard anything!

Too funny! I am going to create my Facebook account tonight for it as well, so if you end up doing it I can give you my name to add me as your second person! I would create the group, except that I have no experience with facebook so I don’t want to somehow exclude people accidentally. Let me know!

Haha - love that! Excited to meet you

Thanks for the information! it was the diversity workshop. That’s good to know, I couldn’t find much information on it besides the description. I may cave and join Facebook just for the group... so U of T students, if the weird looking account with zero activity named “Nicole” requests... it’s just me!

I’m hoping so too! It’s so hard to tell. Perhaps there will be more after hours admissions today... or in hours seeing as it’s only 2:30 On another note, everyone at work like me, how are you concentrating?! I’m having a very hard time!

It is a little odd, and making me a little anxious as I would have loved to get into Laurier’s program. I really can’t tell if there’s still more admissions to come for the two year in class!

Thank you!! I was wondering about entrance scholarships too! My package didn’t have any information on it either. The other part of the package that confused me was the sheet about the workshop we need to take... I looked online but there’s no dates. I’m assuming info about that will come later as well though! I don’t have Facebook, but considering making one just to join the group! Very excited to meet everyone!

Haven’t heard anything. I am wondering if they will do anymore in class, or just online now (I’m hoping there’s more in class)

For those outside of Toronto waiting on letters from U of T - I received my acceptance package last night I’m in Vaughan, so they’re coming!!

It’s definitely possible you’re on other wait lists too! Hang in there ? Anything can happen with this process

Congratulations! I can feel your relief through the phone screen! Very happy for you!

Hi there, I can help out with York, U of T and Laurier. I didn’t apply to the other two. For York, I haven’t heard anything either, but we can assume it is not an acceptance as they called all accepted applicants last week. So best case scenario, that will be a wait list. For Laurier, I also have not heard anything. However, acceptances seem to be coming in more sporadically than last year, so I honestly have no idea what to think. I am preparing myself for worst case scenario, though, seeing as I haven’t heard anything yet and acceptances have started rolling out. For U of T, it has happened that people have been accepted without ACORN showing as “invited”. This is rare though, so please don’t get your hopes up on my account! From personal experience, I did not get invited on my ACORN last year and was waitlisted (this year I seem to have been accepted, although I don’t have a letter yet). That is my take on the radio silence you are experiencing based on personal experience. Good luck!

Thank you for sharing this

I don’t think you missed any years at all! It only took you six years to get to a point in your life where you can comfortably apply for a Master’s program (not easy) that leads to a career in helping other people (also not easy) after such a major upheaval in your own life (definitely not easy)... I think that’s huge! Be proud of your accomplishments and keep persevering

I’m sorry to hear that you’re sad! I got rejections across the board last year, so I understand. Let yourself feel it for a bit, but ultimately l found it was good motivation to keep working on my resume! I hope you can find the same, and wish you all the best. You will do it!

I also don’t have a Facebook account! I was thinking of the same thing in regards to the MSW group that will be created You’re not alone

This is so great to hear! I was just coming on here to ask if anyone thought they would have sent out the packages yesterday or today. Thanks for confirming, and congratulations!

Thank you! I am just trying to stay unassuming until I know all the facts about acceptances/rejections, and then go from there!

My preferred stream is Children and Families! But I look forward to possibly dealing with it for a year! I completely agree, I'm still going through waves of emotion as well! I also agree that there are so many wonderful people on here. We're all going to make great social workers, I have no doubt about that!

Hello! For the average, I don't know if I missed it completely, but I couldn't find how they calculate it. So, depending on how they calculate it, my average is between 90-91%. In terms of experience, I volunteered with kids in various positions in the past, and more recently volunteered in a couple of different positions within a school and have been working full time in youth justice. It has been such a rewarding experience! It makes me want this so much more, so I can come back in a different capacity to work with the kids.

I wish I could have just reacted to this post but I ran out of reactions for the day! Just wanted to give you a thumbs up and say congratulations too!

I applied to four programs and was rejected across the board last year. I was crushed, however it was a good opportunity to work in a related field for the past year (and counting). I work with youth, and found that it has only encouraged my to re-apply for my MSW. The opportunity to get real life experience working with kids (which is what I want to focus on) has been indescribable, and showed me that this is a field I am definitely meant to be in. After that, I felt refreshed and ready to tackle this process once again! So as cheesy as it sounds, it was definitely a blessing in disguise... I am more sure than ever that Social Work is the field I want to dedicate myself to, and that made it easy to make the decision to re-apply.

I am not a previous U of T student
