I am so happy to hear about you wonderful people getting accepted into programs, especially my fellow applicants to UofT's MSW program. My ACORN status hasn't changed from being "Financially Cancelled" since graduating 2 years ago. I haven't gotten my letter in the mail, but I am preparing myself for the worst case scenario (not getting into UofT).
If I am so lucky to get into my alternate choice MSW program (Laurier), I'm wondering if anyone here can comment on the difficulty of securing a Toronto based placement, typically one that takes UofT students. I currently work at CAMH, and have been part of a groundbreaking consultation mental health service, and have the support of a lot of Social Workers there. In addition, I would opt for the thesis route if I ended up at Laurier, and base it on research I've been working on at CAMH.
