Update for anyone interested in York or U of C. Called York today and they said they will be updating my file in 2 weeks (at this point if you haven't heard its pretty much waitlist or rejection). U of C has again said we will hear by the end of this week...

Thank you for taking the time to craft such an in-depth response! I just came home to a waitlist letter from U of T! So now I am starting to feel like I could be on other waitlists too... At least I have more certainty with this newly found uncertainty? lol

Hey fellow hopefuls, So I applied to 5 schools ( York, U of T, Laurier, U of C, UBCO) and have not heard an acceptance, rejection, or waitlist from any of them (by email or on the sites). Does anyone know, is no news good news historically? Should I assume rejections? It's my first time applying and I am just scratching my head at this whole process...

I am finishing up my second undergraduate degree in psychology with a thesis specialization so I was kind of ready for this. I have already taken a few years off between them both so I am ready and hungry for it now, you know? But if it's not meant to be I am going to move to an island somewhere... I will probably apply to jobs I am not qualified for and continue to volunteer

Okay, I officially hate this site. JK congrats fellow hopefuls on your long-awaited acceptances So what does one do when they had no backup plan? For all those once rejected, how did you spend your year before being eligible to re apply?

Just found out Calgary is still sending out acceptances this week for Clinical

Wait for the 2 year?

Hey Kat I would like to ask you about the Clinical program at UBC Oakanagan! I also saw that you have an ASL certification, do you think that helped you get in! I am hoping to do an immersion program but it looks like they don't have enough registrants... I am wondering if you can talk about your ASL experience as well.
As for specific questions about UBC...
How would you describe the graduate students’ relationship with faculty?
Do graduate students receive an adequate amount of support, encouragement and constructive criticism?
Do you feel like you received enough practical experience and opportunities to work?
Why did you choose to pursue your MSW at this institution?
If you could do anything over in your application process what would it be?
Are there any faculty and/or staff members who you would suggest that I get to know if I end up pursuing graduate studies here?
What are some things you wish you had known prior to beginning your graduate program?
What does it take to succeed in the program? What are the characteristics of students who have typically done well in the program?
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this post, if you could answer just a few questions it would really help!

Hi Smntoronto, Thanks for creating this board! I was having trouble finding other applicants for 2018 and I thought I was being overly anxious! This is also my first time using Grad Cafe but it seems like a supportive community so I am super excited about that. I would saw that experience sounds awesome. I am personally a little nervous about my lack of experience in the social services as I come from a film background but I am hoping some of my differences will be an advantage as it will help me stand out a little. I think those who are in MSW programs currently could probably answer your questions best. What schools are you hoping to apply to?
