Hey great questions, So the relationship building with professors is really good in my opinion. The professors are not snooty like that. Each professor has a different teaching style, it depends. The professors I have learned under so far go out of their way to make sure that you feel supported - some of them also share their perspective of how they got into social work to begin with and even outline their social location. I found it was really easy to develop relationships with them, especially as I was an active contributor in class. The class sizes are SUPER small - like 25 people each. If you turn your camera off - THEY WILL NOTICE lol. SO that contributed to the intimate setting and helped me digest concepts more readily. The second question I don't remember too much off the top of my head but I thought about what the social work field was lacking and talked briefly about how my lived experiences and social location offer a unique perspective and lens of social work. I think I talked about the underserved populations that I could impact with this knowledge as well. Hope that is helpful

I applied in 2020's December round. I'm excited for you! The ITR stream is amazing, I had a colleague just finish the program and each cohort in that specialization become super close.

Hiiii I am in the 2 year MSW program, in terms of specializations we get to expand and choose our decision next year ( I am leaning towards the mental health and health stream). I received a letter of offer on April 8th ( around 6:45ish). It appeared on ACORN first only though for me.They did it in rounds over the week ( began with the acceptances, then waitlist) and it was alphabetical I believe.

Hi everyone! I just want to extend an invitation to anyone who has any questions about the MSW program at U of T - especially the application process. I am currently in my first year of the program after applying last year and am super happy in answering questions people may have.

Yeah it's true that I could defer my acceptance but I really wouldn't like tooooo though. I've been working in the field for over 6 years and just want to get the MSW done y'know? It just sucks that this area of work is what I'm passionate about. I know very intently what I want to do too for the MSW. I'm sooo torn. Decisions Decisions :( I've been looking on the UofT website and they've been saying that they plan to open in September. I'm a little confused as i've seen at least three or so different emails as a point of contact. Does anyone know who I would be able to contact ( via email) so I can ask questions?

Following this question, I need some help. Could someone give me the advantages of going to U of T! I just landed my dream job in my city and want to work in it for the first year so i'm wondering if school will be remote this fall?

I don't mind at all! It changed to invited with orange lettering and then a deposit fee was outstanding for 500$

I was notified on ACORN only. It's weird because I thought it would be for both ACORN and SGS. I also didn't get an email yet.

OH MY GOD I JUST GOT IN TO U OF T! Last letter J

Congratulations!! ❤️

I hope this is the case. It would be so cruel if they kind of just stopped even though the admission team has a life outside of this kind of work.

Oh My GOD finally caught up on reading the messages here and im soooo nervous you guys. Last initial J here haha. This is literally the moment we've been waiting for and talking about for some time now. I feel like i'm going to throw up the way my throat has been in a knot today haha. Everyone has been incredibly uplifting and nurturing throughout the process and i'm so honored to connect with people in this way - especially in the unprecedented times we are in.

Hey! Got an email earlier today saying that I've been accepted into Carleton's 2 year program too Congratulations to everyone receiving acceptances. I'm still in so much shock reviewing the funding package tonight

True Say! With that, I genuinely wish everyone the best of luck! Reading from the commentary of previous years, having colleagues of mine in their MSW/ completed their MSW, and considering the times of this pandemic, it really is anyone's game. I am so sure that everyone on here is more than worthy of being accepted into any school they have applied to regardless of the outcome. I've honestly personally accepted the possibility of not getting accepted anywhere at this point and have made peace with it. Will come back and chat on here frequently but I think i'm just not going to stress myself out by checking SGS or Carleton Central. Much love and positivity everyone!

Ahh so exciting, best of luck to you as well!
