I have not applied yet. I wanted to do the post-bsw at York, in case I don't get into the master's. I contacted the admissions and they said they are heavy on experience and my non-profit volunteering at York University is not enough to get in. They said it is highly competitive. I am taking a research methods course at Athabasca and a Psychology of Woman course. I am taking those in July. Hoping to score well, but the course seems very difficult. I am just freaking out about getting in. Applications are in November, so even if my grades improve, U of Toronto said they do not wait for your 4th year grades, essentially they go off of your 3rd year grades. I will let you know if I get any updates

I am applying to the MSW program at U of Toronto this year or the September 2021 intake. In particular the 2 year program as I do not have a BSW. The admission requirements state that you need a minimum B+ in your final year, however transcripts are to be sent in by November. I contacted the department and it seems that the admissions will be based last year's grades. Last year I had a health crisis in my fourth year and had to drop some courses. I got to A's, but also a C and a D+. I did well before that year. Anyways, I am doing a fifth year with full course load. I am worried about my possibility for acceptance. I think I can do very well this year in terms of grades, but they will not get to see those grades. I am very paranoid about getting in. I am applying to York's post BSW as backup. My other issues is that I do not have much experience. I have a lot of volunteering in non-profits, but it is not neccesarily related to social work. I volunteer at a non-profit where I participate in piano concerts for patients in hospitals and senior homes. I also volunteer at a non-profit at York where I teach French and Russian and I am the language department manager there, so I also organized all of the language classes, events, hired volunteer teachers etc. Lastly I had volunteering from a senior care home in hghschool. I am not sure if this can count as social service volunteering. I just changed my career prospects and due to covid-19, I cannot get the volunteering I planned for this year.

I am very interested in the U of Toronto program, maybe York University. That is my backup.

If you have any experience with poor grades in your previous year, but stellar grades in final year let me know. Iff you have experience with the admissions committee basing your admission off of your final year grades let me know. I would also like to know in general what stats people had if they were admitted or rejected to the U of Toronto MSW program from grades to experience.

I am applying to the MSW program next year at U of Toronto. In particular the 2 year program as I do not have a BSW.

What were you stats when you got into U of Toronto? GPA, major (bachelor's), and experience (years and where). Based on previous marks, I think a 3.8 at YorkU is feasible for me next year, maybe even higher if I try. My major is french studies and linguistics. I do have the social science course requirements and A+ in research methods, but I am still worried about getting. I cannot volunteer because of COVID-19, but plan to volunteer at the York Sexual Violence Centre and a crisis line, once the city opens up.
