    Through reading this forum I have truly come to see that this process is majorly abour fit .. my advice for future applicants would be first, apply to more than one school and second, read about the schools and their focus areas. See how these programs align with your goals and interests and speak to this in the statement. If it’s the right school your statement should write itself.. I noticed when I was writing my u of t application I really couldn’t get it out of me.. and I was waitlisted! When writing for Laurier and ryerson the flow was evident.. and I was accepted to both!! 

     

    Anyway.. best of luck

    That sounds amazing! Congrats!!

    Out of curiosity, did Ryerson already sent out all their acceptances (and applicants they wait-listed)? Asking for a friend.

    Thanks. 

    I have heard that you can find out until like April for ryerson! Hang tight. Xx

    Hey guys... I’m struggling to decide between Laurier and ryerson. 

    My interest as I have discussed before is in arts based alternative forms of therapy for people with experiences of trauma and mental health. 

    I hope to open my own practice which makes diverse alternative therapies  accessible  and anti oppressive.  As well I want to continue my research and in arranging community engaged events/ worktshops. 

     

    Laurier gave me 9000 and ryerson gave me 4000... I’ve lived in Waterloo for a long time so I do know the city but I really had it in my head that I wouldn’t get into Laurier and then became excited by ryerson. 

     

    Could someone advise me in terms of what is a better fit for me in your eyes? As well as in terms of differences in reputations?

    I didn't receive a call from Ryerson. Does anyone know when or how to check online if you're accepted or not? I was told RAMSS would be updated but does anyone know when? Thanks.

    Hey I was sent an email .. I think you get an email when Ramms is updated. You can receive insight into your app until like April with ryerson I heard

    Does anyone know what would be considered a good amount of funding? I was so excited to get the call and now it's on to the next phase of stressing - figuring out how to pay for this 

    Hey, so from Laurier I got 9000$ and from Ryerson I got $4000

    Congrats Chantalilly I know you were anxious about hearing back about acceptances/ starting to lose hope. You deserve it!

    Thanks so much girl! congrats to you too. I think that in hindsight schools try to pick good matches and I didn’t fit u of t as well as I fit Laurier and ryerson.

    I got a phone call from Ryerson a couple of hours ago informing me of my acceptance. Good luck to everyone! They said they were calling people before sending an e-mail. 

    congrats!! Me too did they give you funding

    I was waiting by my phone all day yesterday hoping for a miracle and then I remembered that last year in my seminar class two of my group partners who applied to Ryerson didn't receive their acceptance call from Jennifer Poole under until the middle of March....and the wait continues ? 

    Ugh I wish you so much luck, so are ryerson acceptances rolling? Also do you know how many people they accept? 

     

    What is is your interest in ryerson ? I honestly have heard little about the program on here but it’s my first choice

    Thanks for the input. I only applied to Ryerson's MSW Advance Standing program (the wait is killer) and am really doubtful about getting accepting this time. 

    While we wait for the other schools, it would be awesome to hear from people that decided to take or are considering a different route for their Masters - especially if you already have a BSW and are a part of the College. 

    I was also considering The Master of Narrative Therapy and Community Work (collaboration between Dulwich Centre and University of Melbourne). 

    Hey, I'm also going in a different direction if I don't get in this year... I'm kinda over all of us having high averages and experience and not being accepted.

     

    Ironically ryerson is my first choice too.. I am considering counselling at U of Guelph and Art Therapy at Concordia. I want to do art and alternative therapy in the future

    I got straight up rejected last year, no waitlist, so it does happen. 

    UT is extremely competitive! I hope you feel better and receive the news that you were hoping for ?

    I realized I didn't answer your previous question... I am interested in ryerson because it has an innovative and anti-oppressive approach to social work and a focus on research. I do research in art and dance as anti- oppressive modes of empowerment, healing and building of the therapeutic relationship, specifically for those living with mental health issues and experiences of trauma. So I think it suits me! 

     

    What are your research interests?
