I just checked my application for UofT and it says under review now

received an email this morning that i was accepted off of western's waitlist for the 2 year msw program! keep your heads up everyone, waitlists are moving slowly but surely  i was on the waitlist since march 10.

Hey all! Any more movement off the waitlist for 2-year MSW at UofT? Trying to remain hopeful here but it's difficult...

Hi All - congrats to everyone who is preparing for a Fall start!! I am currently on the waitlist for Laurier's MSW Regular/ Online program...just wondering if anyone had heard of waitlist movement at Laurier? It is taking all my willpower to not call the office and beg them for a status update on my application (which I'm sure would not help the situation...!) ?

Thanks! I graduated this year with a BA in forensic psychology from Ontario Tech University (UOIT). My cumulative GPA was 3.87, but the last 2 years averaged out to about 4.16. I have a good amount of research experience, I did my honours thesis and volunteered at a lab at my school as a research assistant. I got an A- in my Research Methods course, I believe it helps to boost that mark if your original one was somewhat low. In terms of social work experience it was all volunteer based, I've been volunteering with Crisis Text Line (Kids Help Phone) for over a year, as well as with Circles of Support and Accountability (working with previous sexual offenders transitioning into the community) since November, which I put on my application but I was still training with them at that point. Otherwise I have experience as a summer student clerk with Durham Region Family Services, and as a summer project assistant for Ontario Tech's Forensic Psych department which was basically admin work; I'm not sure if these last two helped at all. 
I've been trying to figure out admissions patterns too but I'm not having much luck figuring it out. I did send Angela an email a few weeks ago to confirm that they received my updated transcript with my final marks and reinforce that I'm still volunteering, but she didn't end up answering that. In terms of strengthening your application, Crisis Text Line gives a lot of experience, and it's great since it's online on your schedule, but I know that it's sometimes difficult to sign up for training. 
I'm happy that this update is giving you some hope! Sending you positive thoughts while you wait!

I received a rejection from York today but got accepted to U of T off the waitlist about three hours ago!!! I am so thrilled to start in Septemember!! There's definitely movement going on for the UT so best of luck to everyone who are still waiting! 

I'll be at UofT for the advanced standing in September and I can tell you that there are tons of students deferring their acceptance for next fall due to the pandemic/ unable to move to the city/ remote placements. It's going to be a weird year to study so a lot of students are opting out for now. They have until August to decide to defer. So definitely stay hopeful and expect some movement on that waitlist. I can imagine more students will defer when placement selection opens up mid-july. Goodluck!

No specialization. 2-year MSW.

I would've thought they hated people badgering them constantly! I was thinking about sending an email asking If angela would be willing to talk to me over the phone about where I can improve on my application (i'm on the waitlist right now) What advice would you give regarding advocating for yourself? I don't want to be constantly emailing and bothering them but dang i want to get in haha.

Not that I know of. I am on the waitlist as well. I’m hoping to see some movement after the long weekend! *fingers crossed*

FIFSW is accepting people off the waitlist on an ongoing basis. The best advice I got from an alumni of the program is to keep in touch with Angela and Terry Gardiner over at the Faculty. Tell them about your application and advocate for yourself so that they know you, and know you're interested. There will be movement on the list as people accept, defer or decline their offers, it will help if you're persistent and in constant communication.

Anymore movement from the UofT 2 Year MSW waitlist? 

I haven't heard anything yet personally. But, earlier in this forum two individuals have said they got offers of the waitlist for U of T 2 year MSW so there is movement!

any news on people getting off the wait list for UfT 2 year program yet?

Two year

bump so I can know, too. 

Has anyone heard back from UofT waitlist? 

Thank you very much. Fingers crossed for us!

Thank you very much. Fingers crossed for us!

When I applied last year I heard back on March 25 so I'm guessing late march early April (because of COVID-19).

Update for applications to U of T's 2-year MSW program....hopefully we hear sooner!!

Does anyone know from past years how OISE SCCP sends out acceptances/rejections? Does it typically happen all at once / on the same day? Or is it rolling acceptances? I have not been contacted for an interview, but my application still says "under review". Is it likely they just haven't gotten to my name yet to update the portal for a rejection? Thanks!

I was just accepted to York CD. I am still waiting to hear back from uVic, Ottawa, Guelph, and Dalhousie. PM me for POI initials for any of the schools I listed - I will not be accepting any potential offers that come from the other schools. I will be accepting York CD

I’ve officially accepted my offer to Calgary!
Maybe it’s too early for this, but I would love to connect with any incoming U of C students for the Msc Counselling program!
