Hello, I was thinking about this too. I am going to work part-time as a research assistant, and I'm probably gonna start to do a little little bit of work for my master's thesis in June including choosing my classes, discussing my topic with my supervisor, etc.

Good to know.

Yes, I would like to combine mental health recovery, social determinants of mental health, feminism, race studies and criminalization all together in one topic. I have written down a few ideas of topics that could touch upon all these big fields, but am still unsure which program would fit these topics best (sociology? social work? criminology? interdisciplinary applied human sciences?).

Can I reapply next year for my second year of study at the MSW?

Thank you all for your answers. I was also wondering, when at the graduate level (MA or PhD), how can we chose the best major that fits one's research topic if the subject touches upon many different fields of studies?

Thank you!

I don't mean switching major during the course of a diploma. I mean changing fields from one diploma to another (for i.e having a BSW Bachelor's degree and then switching to Criminology for graduate studies, etc.)

Hello, I am a social work major at the moment who is considering switching fields for my future graduate studies (but I would remain within social sciences). What are the pros and cons associated to that?

I am so glad I asked the question! I wasn't sure. Thank you all for your input and insight!

If they update the status before April 1st, it's not looking good right?mcgill is the only one who hasn't updated it yet, I know for sure I won't get it for the three other universities I applied to and the status has been updated for those ones.

Might be a silly question, but when you reach the Master's level, do you call yourself a "master student" or a "master candidate"? Is there a difference between both of these terms because I've came across both pretty often.

What's the difference between all three?

Hello, if you do not get the major scholarships, does it make it more difficult to be accepted in a doctoral program and to get a position as a professor as well?

I've seen it in the Fulbright website actually. At the bottom, in the Notes section. http://www.fulbright.ca/programs/canadian-students/traditional-awards/eligibility.html Yes, it's kinda sketchy because discrimination do happen, especially in the workplace, but I never thought I would find something like that for a scholarship.

Hello, I wanted to apply for a scholarship in the States a few months go. I ended up not doing it because one of the required documents was a "medical report" both physical and psychological. I feared I would be discriminated against because I have a disability, despite all of my accomplishments, good grades, research experience, etc. Anyone else been in this situation? Are there risks of discrimination when they ask for these reports?

Hello, what is the minimum gpa to be admitted to gender, women and sexuality studies at Harvard out of curiosity?

Same. Still hoping for McGill

I have a sociology research paper on a social movement that's due on Wednesday, I have only done the intro out of 15 pages and I don't know how to go about it. Sociology isn't my major

Ok I just saw for two universities that I was not admissible because of the first class average thing. McGill is my only hope becasue the first class average is lower...:(

Feeling exactly the same. I am unsure if this is a good sign...

Yes I did! But still nothing has changed in the portal

Hello everyone, I was wondering if you had any advice for me. I do not have a formal training in journalism. However, I would like to publish stuff online, in my mothertongue (that is not English) related to social policy, social work, social justice, etc. I've done it in the past but on a volunteer basis... What's the best way to be hired by a journal or a blogging platform for a paid opportunity? Thank you

Yes, I heard that this is some of "accelerated passage to doctorat" (passage accéléré au doctorat in French) for exceptional master's students. My university doesn't offer this in my program but other universities in my city and in my field do, so you would need to verify with your host university.

Hello everyone, so I am starting a MSW next fall, it'll be my first time as a graduate students and I've been reading on and off the information that has been provided on my university's website for new grads. Even if I am starting in the fall, I've begun to make some sort of a list of the things I would like to happen during my graduate studies so that I could have some ideas on paper to discuss with my supervisor (with whom I have an excellent relationship and have worked as a RA since the beginning of my undergraduate studies, so she's know me for the past three years.) I just wanted your input. Do you think these are realistic expectations as a master's student and are there anything that you would add to this list? ___________________________ - Co-publications in academic journals - Be prepared and equipped in the event that I chose to do a Ph.D in Social Work - Taking part in international and local conferences/congress in my field of study - Good funding - Mentorship - RA/TA Positions etc. THANKS GUYS.

Thank you!
