Congratulations! Your dedication, persistence, and passion are encouraging and inspiring, so thank you for that I definitely think that the self-care piece is a very important thing, and something that I will definitely be working on in this year off. What are some tips that you have or experiences that you can share that helped you get through the tough time and through getting waitlisted? 

Congratulations, meerkitty (from one 'kitty' to another )!! Thank you for so generously sharing your experience with us – it's a testament to your perseverance and reflexivity, and to the admission committee's commitment to assessing applications comprehensively and holistically. I look forward to being classmates!
 
 

The best thing you can actually do for yourself is simple... just "keep yourself busy". Trust me (from personal experience), I've been in situations where I've been checking sites vigorously for acceptances; just to find out later I didn't get accepted. I feel like this truly messes with your head psychologically, and dealing with the disappointment is way worse. On the other hand, I've been on the other side of it; where I've been so busy where I don't really have the time to check if I got accepted....just to find that I get my acceptance out of nowhere!! You appreciate it way more than usual.

Anxiously waiting for the two-year MSW admissions from U of T! Hopefully, they will roll out admissions today or tomorrow. I read my personal statement again and I found a mistake.. so I don't recommend reading your personal statements. 

(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!!!!!

Hi everyone! A quick update on York’s 2 year applications:
I just spoke with Ammad (sp?) and he assured me that none of the 2 year results have gone out yet. The strike has affected the process, and he was very apologetic that it’s taken so long. He will be calling everyone who’s been accepted, hopefully by this Friday (March 23), and if not by Monday (March 26). He asked if I was a part of any of these online forums so I could tell other prospective students - so here I am! Hopefully this helps calm some people’s nerves, at least a tiny bit. 
Now if only U of T would tell us...

Got official acceptance from Ryerson this morning ??
