Hi all,
Pip from York just called me to say i was taken off the advanced standing waitlist and offered admission!
Sadly (for me missing out on the funding package), I have already accepted and started studying at UofT! I am super happy there too btw! .... Good news for those still on the waitlist, I will be declining my offer so hopefully someone else will get a call sometime next week as she said it will still take a few days before the offer letter is posted on MyFile and until I can formally decline it.
Best of luck to all!

I got accepted to UWindsor MSW (regular track) and wait listed at UofT and Western. I was doing some more research today into the MSW program at UW and realized it was not clinical at all. I know there is a possibility of movement for the wait list-I am praying from UofT. However, if there isn't, does anyone know if I would be able to purse clinical social work jobs without having the clinical social work educational background if I still decide to do my MSW at UW this fall?
Thank you for any insight!!!!
I applied this year to UWindsor for the first time as my third choice and was accepted to it but was later accepted to UofT.
In my opinion, I thought the program was more aligned with UofT and Western rather than York and Ryerson. Windsor has similar specialization options (i.e. child welfare and gerontology) in the advanced standing program and I am sure you can get a clinical placement within the Windsor area. If you are planning to live in Toronto and study at Windsor then I imagine the placement options will be more difficult to find as you are competing with the other Toronto schools. I was personally going to attend Windsor if I did not get into UofT so I would say accept the offer if you want to get your MSW this year or decline, get more work experience, and reapply to other schools for Fall 2022..... I was waitlisted last year at UofT and saw no movement at all but depends on the year and your application i guess!

Hi Everyone! Is anyone who is going to York for the Advanced Stream interested in having some sort of group either like Facebook, Insta or WhatsApp?!
Did you decide to go to York? Congrats...

An update for those awaiting York University advanced standing decisions. I received a letter via email saying I've been waitlisted for the fulltime (funded) program, but it also asked me if I'd be interested in their part-time (unfunded) option.
I also decided I will not be attending UT. Hope that opens up a spot for someone in the gerontology stream wait list.
Two year applicants - hang in there! The waiting is almost done
what program did you decide on? or was York your top choice?
-
I was also legit *just* waitlisted for York's MSW advanced standing full-time program letting me know via email. Some what disappointing because it is a fully-funded program. however, I am extremely lucky to have gotten into uoft's program this year on my second try and will accept that.
I hope you will all hear soon

Haven’t heard anything from York’s advanced standing program *sigh*
-
I accepted my offer to UofT advanced standing and rejected my offer to Windsor’s advanced standing on campus program! Hopefully someone from here will get my spot. Good luck to all

Hey! So this was from two former students and someone from ryersons msw department mentioned how uoft throws money at hospitals. I get their cohorts are huge but it’s shady lol. That makes it more difficult for universities that don’t have enough funding to compete on the same level which puts them at a disadvantage. I will definitely explore Waterloo as an option. Thanks
My Ryerson professor (who went to uoft) used to say this also but It felt like a deterrent to get some of us not to go. I also heard that from msw Sw who did their schooling elsewhere. Uoft is affiliated with many of the Toronto hospitals because they are also teaching hospitals and uoft is a clinical school.
I agree with the advice given. Consider Waterloo because Ryerson is very social justice oriented and I have never seen someone get placed at a hospital there.

My SGS still says "under review" and I haven't gotten an email or anything - anyone else in the same position?
Mine also says under review in SGS but my acorn says invited.

I have received the email notification from SGS and was able to access the acceptance letter. It is finally real, congrats everyone!
Best of luck to those still waiting. I've applied multiple times in the past and this is my first time getting into anything, so don't feel discouraged if you don't get in right away!
i haven't seen any changes on SGS! thought we all get info on the same day

Yeah my average was 82% I had 4500 hours of various different work and volunteer experience and still got rejected from western last year ? so you just never know
Oh wow! I think that was more hours then me! I wonder what you need to actually get in!

Last year I was informed that all the applicants who were accepted had an average between 78-88%.
70% is just the cut off!Agreed! 70 is the cut off. My average was 4.0 (above 80) and I was rejected due to not having enough experience right out of my bsw.

I spoke with my academic mentor last night who teaches at York and they shared that there still is another rotation of application reviews in March so it seems that York offers won't be out till at least April
have they sent out any acceptances or are they still going through the screening process?
