Has anyone who was waitlisted to Laurier's 2 year in-class MSW program been moved off the waitlist and has been accepted?

Laurier’s website says April.

Laurier! My first year I applied to 4, but my last 2 years just Laurier and Kings/Western.

I just got my rejection too. 3rd year applying. Keep trying, keep working.

Don’t give up hope! It’s not the end of the world, there are lots of opportunities out there, keep working hard.

Me!! I see a few people heard this morning.

Was this for 2 year non bsw or advanced standing?

No... did you? (Non-bsw 2 year)

Thanks for the info! Waiting impatiently... haha

Ugh yes! This will be my third time. I applied right out of university which was a mistake. I’ve got a full year in a youth mental health facility, plus some other side jobs and some new certifications since my last application. It’s so competitive!

I applied to Laurier and Western/Kings too! Best of luck!! The wait is awful.

Waiting impatiently... Good luck!!

Has anyone heard from Laurier or Kings 2 year MSW with September start?

Still haven't heard from Laurier either! Has anyone gotten the snail mail yet, or the rejection on LORIS? I don't even know where to look on LORIS, could someone give me some direction?

Laurier told me that applicants won't be informed until as late as May!? Are people hearing back?

I applied to York last year and I got declined (sad) in late March/ early April I think. Maybe that helps?

I was told the same about coaching. In your description of the job (resume/supplemental questions/etc) just focus on the social work aspects rather than the actual tasks.

I applied to 4 Canadian MSW programs last year with around 1000 hours and pretty solid grades and wasn't accepted. I talked to a few admissions people afterwards and they all said I didn't have enough experience. I know Carleton requires 3500 hours to apply, and usually the average applicant is 2+ years out of their undergrad (meaning they likely have 2 years of experience). If you think you've got the grades and the funds to apply, go for it. It's good experience to even apply, the applications are a lot of work, but it'll make it less stressful for when/if you apply in upcoming years.

New to gradcafe but excited to be a part of it. This is my second time applying for 2 year MSW. This year I'm just applying to Kings (Western) and Laurier. Anyone else?
