Hello! Unfortunately I do not have insight to your questions, but I wanted to respond here to say hello as I am also applying for the part-time online MSW at Laurier (non-BSW). I am currently down a Grad Cafe rabbit hole on this forum realizing just how competitive this program actually is! I have 10+ experience as a teacher, 4 years experience teaching alt ed for disadvantaged youth, 2 years of case management in the prison system, and what I think are strong references). I'd also love to know more about similar programs that are offered online. Plus any words of encouragement from successful past applicants who might stumble upon this post! Good luck with your application. I hope we are both successful!

Hello everyone! I am in the process of applying to the online non-BSW program at Laurier. When I first made the decision to apply, I felt pretty confident in what I have to offer (10+ years experience as a teacher, 4 of those years in alternate education with disadvantaged youth; 2 years working overseas in the prison system; plus all the GPA/academic requirements). But... then I discovered this forum and realized just how competitive the program is! I'd love to hear from anyone still lingering on GradCafe who was successful, particularly at getting into Laurier's online program. What advice would you give future applicants like me? Words of encouragement?
