(I'm waiting to hear from York and from Uoft for their 2 years admission results.) I've been like this since March 1: checking online a lot and each evening my partner greets me not with hello but with "No I checked the mail, there's nothing...I promise, I checked it" Each week I was like ok you can do this one more weeek... lol! but here we go again, probably will end up as another week for york then another month for Uoft! Just sharing something that's helped me: apparently the only way to help through a very anxious period of waiting that keeps unfolding like this is to make a tiny goal that you work towards, ideally something that you can do on a website so you can gear your brain to want those responses. Like online quizes you're interested in- funny I'm actually doing G1 driving quizes online, I never drove in Canada, only abroad before moving here and I kept postponing the test. So it's PERFECT time to just schedule this damn test and worry about that!! There's no other way to get my mind off of this waiting. How are you guys getting through the waiting, has anything helped? I watched the Alice in Wonderland cartoon one night - I swear when you're off work , random stories can hook your attention very well!!! Good luck everyone!!!!!

The day I phoned them was Friday (March 9). I might have misheard about advanced standing but I know for sure he said the 2 year program applicants will hear the week of March 19.

I phoned York to ask about their strike and they said it did end up delaying the MSW applicant results for 1 year and 2 year, each by one week. So 2 year program applicants will know the week ofmonday 19th. And 1 year would know this coming week of Monday 12 .

Thank you for this info and positive vibes!! Good luck to you too, I hope you get in!!! :-)

Lurker too here, I decided to share here to spare my poor partner who shares my tiny living space!! They've watched me barely handle this anxiety of waaaaaiitttiinnngggggg. Oh my gaaaaaad it has totally hijacked my brain. Killin' me here....! So you see in December I thought I was soooo smart as I gave it my all in my applications and statements and was not aware of my huge huge mistake of not applying more broadly. I only applied to the 2 year MSW York and the 2 year MSW UofT. You see I thought that because my anthro undergrad is from York that this means MSW grad school there is a huge possibility. My MA in an arts field from Carleton had only a tiny cohort of 5 so I imagined York's 20 is a biiggg number. I never thought waait a minute...how many actually applied to that MA arts I did at Carleton...not hundreds and hundreds like at York!! Dumbo dumbo dumbo dumboo!.....And I have no idea whether having that MA from a few years ago will now hurt or helps this MSW application, I have no idea.. I realized I do need to chilll man so I'm telling myself (a) these freakin' hours and days WILL move on lol! and (b) if I don't get in , it might mean I should consider the option of BSW's next year, I'm not sure, it's just because I have a masters already I didn't consider bsw. So question! Let's say I will hear back from them and get rejected from both, does anyone know if it is ever possible for a rejected applicant of MSW to get considered for BSW that same year since the department has all the documentation and reference letters? Is it possible to cover the BSW application fee now and be considered to that or do you have to wait a whoolllee other yearr...that would be a way better option for me than waiting another year. Ok well sending you all positive vibes and good luck to eeevveryone here... I'm sure you're all doing good work in this world whether it's inside or outside of social work programs, on whatever scale whether helping one person you know or trying to support groups, this world needs more hearts like yours so keep up your awesome work! Peace and good luck!! :-)
