Hey! I haven’t heard back yet either. I think we will hear back in April

hey! Honestly, some people had no experience! It definitely is better to have at least some experience. Personally, I tried to get a lot of volunteer experience in the field, and I had one job in the field as well. I don't think you need too much experience, but having some will make your application stand out more! good luck, hope you hear back soon!

Congrats on your acceptance! Yes if you are in the progress of completing your BSW you are able to apply to the advanced standing program! If accepted, you have to send in your final transcript once you graduate! I also recommend sending in your updated transcripts, U of T application was due in December, so I only had my unofficial transcripts for my summer grades. After the winter semester was completed I emailed them my updated transcripts as well which included my winter grades! Good luck, hope you hear from U of T soon!!

Due to COVID-19, it was online this year. They have 2 locations, one in Orillia and one in Thunder Bay. I was enrolled in the Orillia campus. If im not wrong, normally it is in person for the first semester, then you are able to do your placement where you'd like (doesn't have to be in Orillia, I did my placement in Toronto), so I believe the second half of the semester is online regardless (but i'm not 100% sure about this!).

Hi everyone! Congratulations to all who have gotten accepted, and good luck to those still waiting to hear back!! you got this :). I have been accepted to U of T's advanced standing program, and I just wanted to offer some insight to those looking to apply for the 2 year program (for those who don't have a BSW) as I was in the same boat last year. I applied last year to the 2 year MSW and I was waitlisted. I also applied to lakeheads 1 year accelerated BSW, which i got accepted to. I find that many people do not know about this program, so I wanted to tell you about it as there are other ways to get your MSW!! Lakeheads program is open to those who have a bachelors degree in a field similar to social work. I had my degree in sociology so I was able to apply. The program is VERY fast tracked and sometimes difficult to keep up with, but SO worth it. I am still in the program as it runs until May or so, but with this degree I was able to get accepted to U of T's advanced standing. Many of my peers in the program were also accepted to their top choice advanced standing programs. I highly recommend applying to Lakehead's 1 year BSW for those who do not have their BSW and are applying to the 2 year MSW's! Hope this is helpful for some of you! : )
