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!

There is no way of knowing. In the decision document, it says that the wait-list is not ranked and they cannot disclose anything about our application. Angela will contact us if there is a change in our application status.. it’s just a waiting game at this point. Goodluck! 

Best to everyone beginning their MSW this year. And best to those re-applying for next. Take care everyone!

Has anyone heard back from UofT waitlist?
