  1. hi all, I got accepted to the UofT MSW (full time 2-year) today via the sgs portal and will be rejecting the offer (I'm attending OISE instead): -applied on time and got accepted today, March 31. haven't applied in the past. -3.9 fourth year gpa, 3.8 cgpa from UTSG. -literally zero social work experience lol, primarily sociology research and academia work for 3+ years during undergrad. some leadership in extracurriculars and post-work experience (during my 2 years post undergrad) doing nonprofit work. honestly nothing counsel-y at all, beyond my time as a first gen mentor in undergrad. I remember being on here paranoid that I wouldn't get in bc I didn't have any pertinent, "practical" work experience so I hope this quells any worries out there about that that you can still get in! I did have an A+ in the research methods course I listed on my application and I assume my academic record helped me. my written responses focused on my personal experience with social workers growing up, being a low-income first gen university student, how social workers' support positively shaped my life trajectory and kept me safe/in school/applying to unis etc. I was also worried this subject matter would be iffy/too personal but I wrote from the heart and it worked out. I did mention my particular interest in the child social work "focus" they offer. I applied to York's MSW with nothing back yet, though I got accepted to, and turned down, York's MEd (with funding) last week. as aforementioned, I'm declining the uoft MSW offer to attend OISE (I very specifically want to work in higher education services or become a professor, and I got into a funded MA program. I was also offered a spot in the MEd in Social Justice Education but they offered no funding and it's the worse program they kinda funnel people to if you don't get into the MA. Those MEd applications are still open as we speak lol). Wishing all of you the best of luck and to hang in there!! Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions about my application. otherwise I advise you not to pore through people's responses here and panic bc you think you're too inexperienced/that you'll be waitlisted/rejected and have to reapply, all that panicking I did after reading things here ended up being baseless?
