hopefully there are still quotas for the waitlisted applicants...

Has anybody who was waitlist at UofT for 2-year MSW program (in March) heard back yet? ..if not, has anyone of you contacted Angela (Administrative Coordinator Admissions and Programs) for this program? 

Hello, 
Congrats to everyone!
Very long time lurker, I was planning to apply a MSW before the pandemic, but then decided to hold off. It was the only program I applied to, and the first time. I was definitely surprised when I received the email this afternoon that a spot opened up, and I was bring offered a spot to the U of T 2-year MSW program (Mental Health stream). I only bothered checking the email I used to apply because I saw how many people were being accepted off the waitlist on here.
Background:
I had about 13,500 hours from 2010 to now. The bulk of that has come from joining the leadership team of a grassroots organization in my community and a a couple recent full time jobs. Right now I work with Black identifying youth in the justice system, so spoke about that experience in my statement. My GPA was not very high, I believe 3.3 (out of 4.0) and high 70s for  my research courses. I did my undergrad at U of T, majors Sociology, Crim, minor Anthro. Then during pandemic, I  decided to do an Accelerated CYC program at Humber, and that helped me with getting two full time, directly related jobs during the pandemic. As well, more experience through placements.
If anyone has any questions, let me know. Just beyond excited to see you all in September.
*I am also hoping that someone has created a Whatsapp group, I will keep checking. 
 Does anyone know if there is a part time option for the program?

Has anyone gotten off of the waitlist for 2 Year MSW UofT Domestic Mental Health stream?

is there a facebook group for king’s msw accepted students? ☺️

not yet.. I think it's still too early.. earliest I heard for previous years was June 15. I'm expecting it'll be august honestly.. 

Just wanted to provide updates for you all. I contact Todd from OISE for the MEd program and he informed me that "unofficially" I will not be accepted into the program this year due to the high number of applications etc (same response others have posted on this forum)..
.. moreover this was my last response I was waiting on and so I want to thank all of you for the continued support and encouragement. This year was difficult and all of the comments that I read where very helpful throughout the year .. so thank you!
 if anyone is curious below are the other programs I applied and the responses I got.. BEST OF LUCK TO ALL OF YOU STILL WAITING! And don't let a rejection define who you are
OISE MEd Counselling & psychotherapy --> rejected unofficially
UFT 2-year MSW --> Waitlisted

Thanks for the update! ... so since I haven't received any response for my application -- what am I suppose to assume? .. that I am rejected ?... this whole application thing for OISE has me so upset.. like why can't they send a mass email to all the applicants explaining what is going on and if they've already sent all the offers for admission and waitlist..

You can find his email on the program website. And basically what I wrote was the following: 
I have applied for the 2020-21 MEd counselling and psychotherapy program. And so today I spoke with someone from the OISE register regarding the application and whether they had any updates as I have not received any response since I've applied (the application says it's "under review"). And the individual explained how all the offers and waitlists have gone out already .. Is this true? Because other colleagues of mine who've applied were told that there is a delay in uploading the admission results onto the SGS portal due to working from home..If you could update me on this situation, I'd really appreciate it. 
 His response: Hello (name).. Thanks for your inquiry.   Yes, the application responses are currently being processed by our registrar’s office staff.   With 705 applications to the Counselling program, it can be lengthly process when working from home. I’ve inquired about the status of your application and can report, unofficially, that your application to the MEd Counselling program will be recommended for refusal.    Unfortunately, with 35 spots available this year, there is not enough spaces to accommodate all strong applicants. You should receive the official application response via email shortly.
I haven't received an official rejection as of yet.

I'm shocked. But I guess it makes sense - international students are the ones paying way more than domestic and they just care about the money

Maybe email the program chair instead of the register as to how you have another deadline approaching and how you are displeased with the admission rollout... usually program chair are the best to inform about such things.. and if you applied for OISE MEd program; i think the program chair is Dr.Lana Stermac .. maybe email her and see...

Hey just want to ask.. have all of you heard from UFT's OISE MEd program? Cause I still have not.. it still says "in review" for me? 

I'm emailing them tonight. I was hoping to get answer this week because I have several things depending on whether I'm accepted for September, some that need to be decided by the end of this week. Also, I think I'll be putting in my email how I feel about their lack of consideration for us in not emailing us with these updates.
This is so frustrating. Fingers crossed I get a response before the end of the week.

This might sound stupid, but to test my theory, could whoever applied to U of T like this comment?
I know that there are probably some people who applied to U of T that aren't on here but this might just give us a ballpark? 

Mine starts with a J so I highly doubt there is a system ??

Hi everyone! I just spoke to someone at OISE about when to expect a decision and she said they have been super delayed due to covid and the volume of applicants this year but we should hopefully hear "sometime in April". Definitely not the answer I was hoping for (I'm not looking forward to another month of waiting) but there's not really much else to do except cross our fingers and hope we all hear back soon.
