rejected my offer at laurier so hopefully that opens up a spot for you!!

Does anyone know if we're able to apply to OGS after the fact? I'm stupid and did not apply in time. thanks in advance!

Ofc!

Hi! I have been accepted to both as well! Can I ask you what your reasoning is for leaning toward Laurier?

Hey! I was waitlisted last year and to improve my application I decided to do a fast-track SSW program at George Brown. It's only 8 months, and half of it is essentially placement which I thought would be useful as I think I was lacking hands on experience. In addition to that I did a little bit of volunteering. I think this year I also just strengthened my letter of intent and got one really strong rec letter that I was too scared to ask for last year (should have just done that) which made a difference. There is a question in the app where they ask you what changed about your app since last year so i think it's helpful for them to see dedication/commitment, extra steps to improve ones app. While you are waitlisted, I would recommend getting more experience in the next month or two, maybe another rec letter and potentially a better research methods grade if possible and send it in to strengthen you application and increase your chances of getting off the waitlist.

Just received my acceptance through SGS! This is my second time applying - I was waitlisted last year, so don't lose hope!!

Mine starts with a B... so possibly?

Guys... mine says invited... that means im in for sure right? I am kind of in shock and feel like this was a glitch lol IM IN RIGHT?

Do you mean when we hear about being waitlisted or hear about moving off the waitlist?

Nothing new in my Loris! lol probably does not help remotely but looks like we're all still waiting ? The anxiety is killing me.

the waiting is toooooooorture

Waitlisted at Western! Merp. mixed feelings.

Does anyone know when we might be hearing from western re the 2-year msw program? Shouldn't it be around this time? ?

I think the rough calculation about hearing back in late May / June is probably correct - but I know a Alum of the 2 year MSW program who heard back at the end of August and had two weeks to prepare. I think at the end of the day - most people will have made their final decisions by June, but a few might change their mind or life happens and so people on the waitlist can realistically hear back any time until the program actually starts.

Does anyone know how U of T's waitlist works? It's apparently not ranked, so are people removed at random or is there still a system to it?
