Anyone here declining or deferring their acceptance to UofT's 2-year MSW? Hoping to be able to get accepted off of the waitlist this year. Super discouraging having it be the 3rd time being waitlisted.

I was in the same situation last year! I was accepted to Humber but waitlisted at UofT. I'm glad that I went ahead and accepted Humber's offer as when September had come around is when I heard back and ultimately got rejected from UofT. Had I not accepted Humber's offer, I'm not sure what I would have been doing this year. There is also no way of the school you applied to for the MSW to know that you have accepted an offer to a college, so I say go for it!

That is good to know because I also live in Mississauga, glad to see that there are others out there finding ways to manage the drive. The placements I have had in the past have been the same way, good to know that doesn't change! Thank you!

Thanks for the info! I'll definitely keep your offer in mind if I choose to go that route! I know my program had a lot of the courses but I know I'll have to double check as it was a bachelor of applied science degree that I got. I also got my SSW at the same time through my undergrad at Guelph-Humber so I'm hoping i've met the requirements already! The biggest incentive for me is that I can then apply for the 1 year msw. It's just hard because I live about an hour away from waterloo (without traffic) and I can't afford moving away. I know the website says it's in person but I'm wondering if they have an online or hybrid option that would allow me to stay at home.

Hey! The program I was looking at specifically is through Waterloo! Here's the link to their website: https://uwaterloo.ca/school-of-social-work/future-students-bsw-ft

I was considering doing a 1 year BSW but I don't have the money to go away from home which is something I'd have to do as the 1 year BSW is offered quite far from where I live.

Personally for me, it's a matter of distance and the fact the UofT has a lot of sway on getting good placements in Toronto including hospitals.

I have. I've had a professor from a different faculty look it over. He teaches at UofT himself, he said himself I have a solid application so I'm not sure what I'm missing at this point. I know my GPA isn't the greatest being at 3.7 but I've seen others get in with lower. I'm really at a loss

Same to you! Hopefully, we'll all get some good news before the start of the school year.

Haha hello! I figured there had to be a few people from the program here! I'm tempted to stop too but for the career I want for myself, I have to keep at it. Motivation is not easy to keep after 3 waitlists though.

Yes I am. Doing Addictions and Mental Health

If it helps, I was waitlisted the last two years at UofT and ultimately got reject both times just after the beginning of September.

Waitlisted UofT 2 year, last name H. This is the 3rd time being waitlisted, I'm not hopeful. I added over a year and a half of paid work experience in the field, and in progress doing a post-grad certificate, and still only waitlisted.

My last name starts with H and still says under review.

Hey! Sorry for a late response. I didn't choose it opposed to an SSW program. It is a post-grad certificate program as I already have my SSW diploma as well as a applied sciences degree in family and community social services. I graduated from University of Guelph-Humber where I did a degree and diploma at the same time. Since I had my doubts about getting into UofT for my MSW I decided to also apply to the post-grad certificate program. It is only a one year (3 semester) program that you can only take once you have completed undergraduate studies.
