I’m in the same boat - nothing from Laurier although I feel my chances are slim. I got into Yorkville for masters in counselling but doesn’t everyone? I’m worried it’s a degree mill that only wants $.. the cost is outrageous and I’m terrified I’ll do it as a last resort and then regret it lol

When I asked, I was told they would be accepting 25 out of ~250 applicants. So, statistically odds are not in our favour, but you never know. Btw this stat was given for the Sept 2020 start, if that matters.

Yes, I applied for a September start. When I emailed asking about acceptance rates, that's pretty much the exact numbers I was given as well. 25 out of 250. I have: 3.6-3.7 GPA from a BA psych Post grad in behavioural science About 5 years experience working with youth and adults with developmental disabilities/autism ~1 year working in a coordination position for individuals with mental health issues Not sure that will be enough, and not expecting to get in at all, I just want to know..!

No and the wait is killing meeeeee

Same, it was the only one i applied to as well as i don't have a BSW and need something fully online. Radio silence...

Thank you! I really, really don’t think I’ll get into Laurier. I heard they accept like 25 out of 300 applicants for the online non BSW stream. I don’t think my GPA and experience are competitive enough. I’m hoping to at least get waitlisted though haha

I wish! But I would have no way there. I live in downtown Toronto and have no vehicle. It doesn’t seem realistic to commute every weekend on top of working full time

Same! Online or on campus program?

Hello all, I applied to the above and am waiting to hear back. has anyone who applied here heard anything yet? And can anyone who got in share their credentials/GPA/etc? suspense is killing me! Lol thanks

Realistically I’m wondering how hard is it to get in at Laurier for the 2 year online MSW? It’s really my only option (don’t have a BSW and can’t quit my job to go back to school - I’m sure lots of people are in the same boat lol). When I emailed a few months back they said they had 250+ applicants and would be accepting about 25. Oof. I almost didn’t apply after hearing this but then thought, what if everyone said that, and applied anyway lol. I have a BA honours in psych with about a 3.6 or 3.7 GPA. 5ish years experience working in the mental health & disabilities field. Have worked 1:1 with youth and adults with developmental delays and mental health diagnoses. Also have a post graduate in behavioural science. But based on things I’ve read my chances are not that great and I’ve heard of people with 15 years of related experience getting rejected lol

Hello all, first time poster here. I applied to the part time online MSW @ Laurier for a September start. (The one for applicants without a BSW). Haven’t heard anything at all yet. Has anyone here applied to that program? Anyone heard back?
