Waterloo also has a 10 month BSW program! 

I applied to both York and UofT MSW (2 year non-BSW).
I was waitlisted for UofT on April 2nd and still haven't heard. For York, my MyFile still says under review, but I emailed Pip asking about the timeline/status and she said she spoke to the the Graduate Program Director and she mentioned that I was on the wait-list for the 2-Year MSW program.I asked her how many people were on the waitlist, how long it would be open for and if it was randomly assigned or ranked. She said "You are correct, there are a certain number of people on the waitlist. Once a spot opens up, the next person on the list will receive an offer until the program is full. We are hoping to complete the selection process by the end of this month (May)" Not particularly helpful, but figured I'd share my experience. Hoping to hear from UofT, best of luck to all!

Thank you! 
I'm still hopeful but I'm also realistic it might have to be something for next year. fingers crossed!

Dont give up hope! I am similar to you in that I mostly have a research background with minimal front-line experience and I got accepted to york. It sounds like you are extremely qualified! Best of luck 

First off @asingh25 congrats!!! York is my top choice so i'm hoping to hear back  definitely have very little hope but your post gives me *some* hope! Do you mind if i ask what your experience and background is? It'll help me greatly when i reapply next year. 
Also, i would love to talk to any folks who applied to yorks 1 year BSW program (didn't realize they had one!) as i might consider applying for that next year as well.
 
Thank you!! 

i got into yorks 2 year msw (edit: full-time, non-bsw)  no email received, main page on myfile looked the same but when i clicked application status, my status was changed to "admitted" under decision! yay

PS. Mailed York's admission. This was their response.
I'm personally not expecting to get in because even though I have a strong academic background in social justice studies and sociology and a Masters in public health, much of my experience is in research. i do have experience at the Crisis centre but  not much front-line work apart from that
