Hi all,
I am delighted to share that I have been accepted into the 2-year MSW at Wilfrid Laurier for this upcoming Fall 2020 Semester (in person). I got my rejection letter from UoT a week ago for the 2-year MSW. I have also been offered both spots to the 1-year honours BSW at LakeHead University (Thunder Bay and Orillia). I will be declining both spots to the 1-year honours BSW at LakeHead and proceed with the 2-year MSW at Wilfrid Laurier. So incredibly excited and also humbled by how people supported each other in this forum, I was not an active participant as this was my first time applying and wanted to learn from afar. My story is a bit different ... please feel free to read if it helps you in anyway: I graduated with a BA (Majored in Psychology, Minored in Counselling and Human Development) and a Certificate in Liberal Arts with less than a stellar GPA. I was fortunate to find work in the field at an established non-profit organization in the Downtown Eastside and learned the ropes of this humbling work we get to do. I worked hard to supplement my CV while learning and growing and remaining opening to the opportunities in front of me: I completed my Substance Use Certificate as well as an Addiction Medicine Diploma through the BCCSU and their collaboration with the Faculty of Medicine at UBC (I am sure it didn't hurt to use their name in my CV) and continued to persevere. I made a lot of sacrifices... mentally, emotionally and physically but it all paid off with this acceptance which I truly did not expect. They usually say their first round of application is :"practice". It is why I am overjoyed because I felt like an underdog. I also decided to enroll in a Graduate Certificate in Child Sexual Abuse and Complex Trauma Interventions all the while working and building my seniority. I never lost focus and vision but I enjoyed the process and the journey. So grateful for this opportunity. Please feel free to ask, happy to help in any way I can!
KHey! Where did you take your child sexual abuse and complex trauma interventions?
and congratulations for being accepted

I'm still waiting on a reply for York's 2-year MSW! I have heard that they can be pretty...ahem..."informal" with letting applicants know about their decisions beyond initial acceptances (I have heard in the previous year of folks whose status didn't change from "No Decision Yet" for a really long time.)
I know someone who was “declined” on my file, but then got accepted later in the year because York made a mistake and they were actually waitlisted!

I’ve just been waitlisted at one school (Lakehead MSW) and I haven’t heard back yet from my other application (York Advanced Standing) .. I’m kinda trying to come up with a backup plan for if I don’t get in to either..
Does anyone know of any MSW programs that start in January or later that have applications still open? (I am about to complete my BSW)
I’m in the exact same boat. I’ve been trying to research this but haven’t found anything, as of yet, I found a couple “working professional” programs but you need to have been at the place of employment for a while and need to have a letter of support from that organization.
