Hi! Can you tell me when you heard back from UofT?

Thanks! Do you know when for UofT?

does anyone know when the two year MSW offers go out?

anyone her apply for a OGS?

I think downtown toronto has become way more family friendly as the move suburbs has kinda slowed and more and more people stay downtown and have kids. The Annex is a good place, the St. Lawrence area, and my sister condo on Yonge and St.Clair has a ton more kids then I would have ever thought. I think schools are generally okay. Some schools might get lower or higher ratings but that's mostly due to the school population (a school with a poorer and high ESL student population is gonna receive lower test scores etc) but the level of education is pretty standard. If your from the States school funding is completely different. The poorer schools actually get alot more funding and resources than most schools in posh neighbourhoods. Tons of things to do in Toronto as a single or family, especially in the summer! http://cityparent.com/events?city=2

I think it depends? What is your last year GPA? You should definitely try to gain more volunteer or work experience in the field. Also look into doing a two year BSW then doing the 1 year MSW. Much less competitive this way. With no volunteer or work experience and a low GPA, two year MSW programs isn't very realistic at the moment.
