    I quoted the one I saw on this forum before, so I was expecting I should receive their decision on March 8th at least but it seems the waiting game is still going on. I'm stressed out haha

    My Dal portal updated last week to accepted - deposit requested and then I received the official email March 3rd and it says deposit is due by March 17th  (I am part-time online - maybe it's different for full time?)

    Mine doesn’t either but I wouldn’t  look too far into it..I’m in Ontario and haven’t heard anything either. This is not an indication that you didn’t get in don’t worry just yet!

    You won’t be able to create a net ID until you get the official letter from the registrars office with your email info (from what I remember when I applied for my BSW)

    Congratulations! Weird question, is your Dal ID the same as when you previously attended Dal ? I have an old ID from when I applied there in the past, wondering if I could log on and see my result as my letter has not yet arrived. I'm inpatient haha

    Hey yes! I applied for the program through my current net ID login - but it doesn’t show a change on there yet! I believe they send them by mail first and won’t update until it’s approved by the facility of graduate studies

    Did the letter say when you would be able to pay your deposit? I’m thinking that might be another way to find out if I was admitted lol 

    No - the acceptance letter says their recommendation was sent to the facility if graduate studies and then if it’s approved by them they’ll send an email with an official letter with the $200.00 deposit and deadline to accept

    Ohhh ok, I did my BSW at Dal and applied for part time online, I wonder if they send all the letters out at the same time??

    Hi everyone! I'm an international student and have applied for the following:

    • University of Calgary - Spring 2022
    • Dalhousie - Fall 2022
    • University of Manitoba - Fall 2022

    I understand UofC generally sends out acceptance letters in February, but does anyone know when can I expect to hear the admission decisions from Dalhousie and UofM? 

    I’m not sure about Manitoba but Dal is usually Feb! Good luck :)

    I only applied to Laurier, as it’s the only fully online program.

    Windsor asks for in person 2 days a week, alternating weeks. I find that part time schooling plus commuting to work is enough time away from my kids, so I didn’t want to add more time out of the house. 
     

    Honestly I really struggle with how post secondary education is structured. They want work experience, high grades, volunteering, etc. How are those of us who started with nothing supposed to acquire all of these things? I’m luckily that I had most of them, but having had a child as a teen, I have been parenting for all my adult life. I don’t have tons of time to volunteer on top of trying to build my life. /rant lol 

     

    I’m not sure what I’ll do next. I wanted to go into private practice one day, so I need to see what my options are for other online programs. 

    They definitely have unreasonable expectations. It’s difficult to balance without children so I can only imagine how much harder it is! I was told before that Laurier expects at least 10 years experience ... they really want someone to “practice” social work for 10 years before being good enough to do their MSW?? Its a little ridiculous to me... especially when there is a huge need for social workers and we all know we won’t make the money we deserve only having a BSW. 
     

    I *think* Dalhousies MSW has a fully online option! I believe applications are due November 1st and they only have a September start date so you should check that out!

    Same didn’t get in.

     

    I have 13 year experience in social service working in the field of settlement. I graduated with a 4.0 with a BAsc of family and community social services. Have very limited volunteer experience tho.

     

    Not feeling too bad though. What’s meant to be will be. Hope those who make it in can share their backgrounds to help us work towards it.

    Wow!!!  Definitely sounds like a strong application. Did you apply anywhere else?
     

    It’s confusing to me that they only have space for 25 people in an online program... and I wish we could reach out to discuss our applications but I know they said they don’t “have the capacity” to do this. Such a bummer ?

    I reached out to the enrolment advisor a few weeks ago just to get an idea of when we would hear back and this was her response:

    “Thank you for reaching out. You should receive a decision back on your application either towards the end of May or sometime in June.“

    So, it looks like we will be waiting for a while....

    ??

     

    SOOOO over the wait

    I think that was me (posted it in the msw2021 forum ?)! Yes it was dissapointing to hear that... trying to just not think about it now lol 

    Oh! ?? was it admissions that told you? When I emailed they gave me a very vague answer “Please visit our Application Checklist page for the decision target dates.  We are not able to provide a “specific date”.  Decisions may be made earlier or later than expected and will be sent electronically to the email address provided at time of application.” ?

    Still waiting on York as well! Also Laurier... ? Does anyone know if the Loris portal will change in some way to let us know our application has been reviewed? I don't see anything that says "submitted" or "decision pending" like York. I know it's been submitted though because I can see all my actions and I have a receipt email.

    From reading previous threads it doesn’t change..... but I didn’t get a receipt email ?? it does say on the loris page that everything was submitted though
