I'm starting the 2 year MSW at Carleton in Sept! Wondering if there's a fb group or something for our cohort but I couldn't find anything.. Are you in the 2 year?

Waitlisted at Carleton for 2 year program ? Does any one know by any chance if people are normally accepted off the wait list, or can I pretty much consider this a rejection?

Mine has been review in progress by department since december, no change so far ?

AHHHH I'm waiting to hear from Carleton for the two year program, it;s the only school I applied to. Checking a thousand times a day. Congratulations on your acceptance!!

I applied to Carleton for the two year program and mine says "Review in Progress by department".. it's said that since early December. Keep checking everyday, good luck!

Just completed by application to Carleton 2 year MSW, let the 5 month wait begin! ??

Hi everyone. I was wondering, for the people that already have a BSW, what is your main reason for doing an MSW? Is it because the jobs/pay is better? Or other reasons? I don't know, I just want to be a social worker and already have a BA and MA so might as well do an MSW. But if you have a BSW you can be a social worker from what I understand so just wondering what benefits an MSW has over a BSW.

@SocialWERK2019 That makes sense that you're applying to the advanced standing, yes I'll be applying to the 2 year. And thanks for the tip!! I will read more into that.

Wow your experience and education is really impressive, good for you. I have a BA in human geography and a Masters in environmental impact assessment, so not directly social work related. For the past year and a half, I've been living in Laos in SE Asia working for a non-profit on community-based environmental management projects to reduce poverty, protect natural resources and improve livelihoods of people living in rural villages. I applied to an MSW-HR (human rights) in Berlin last year and got accepted but I ended up not doing it because I did't get the scholarship I needed. Now I want to come home to Canada and do an MSW in fall 2019, but I'm afraid my degrees/experience is not related enough. Seeing everyone's experience and education is inspiring but also kind of intimidating! Good luck to all
