Hey I am definitely on the same boat as you waiting to hear back! I was looking at last years GradCafe and the year before that and finding that in the past there was movement near the end of may and June. However, it might be different this year because there has been an influx in applications and most likely deferrals. Here's an article that might explain it better but it has definitely not been a conventional year for applying thats for sure!

Same boat as both of you waiting for Western and Windsor as well. I spoke to someone at Kings who said some years theres a ton of movement and some theres not as much, I hope we start seeing some movement. Positive thinking!!

York isn't sending out their acceptances to the 2 year MSW until the end of this month. Found it strange they already sent some rejections out long before this though. But given the fact that they only accept 20 people I unfortunately don't think it will make much of a dent on other waitlists
Yeah that's not a lot but in my attempt to be positive, I think that the odds that all 20 people only we get accepted applied to only York and don't have a backup school or two, probably isn't that high. So trying to use the power of positive thinking, hopefully that will cause some movement.

Yes
I have a feeling waitlists will have less movement this year after all the deferrals last year. Fingers crossed once York sends out their decisions that we have at least a bit of movement with the other schools!!
I thought York had sent out all of their decisions, I had gotten a rejections so maybe only some came out. Well hey, anything that would increase the chances of movement, I'm excited for that

I am currently on the waitlist for Windsor's 2-year MSW program and my application still says "in process", but the status date has changed, is this the case for anyone else?
Mine still says in process but the date hasn't changed, from what I hear that could be a good sign. My status date is still January 6th

Anyone on the waitlist for Windsor or Western starting to get discouraged? Still check the portals Monday - Friday, hoping to see some movement, or anything...my hope seems to be dwindling

Hi everyone,
As some of us are still in the exciting and nerve-provoking purgatory known as the waitlist for some schools, I was wondering if anyone has any sort of information of what the waitlists are like for Windsor and Western? I've contacted the schools and obviously they can't provide you with much information but wanted to double check here to see if anyone has an idea of how much movement there is, chances of getting off the list and honestly any info at all. Congrats too all getting in thus far!!

Wondering the same thing ? Are you on the 2-year waitlist too?
2 year Windsor wait list here - wondering the same thing. I think theres definitely going to be some movement as other schools release their results. As people accept to these other schools they'll be rejecting offers from Windsor as I believe for some, it is the back up school. Only time will tell

I hate to sound like a broken record but I know I’m not the only one wondering lol, but has anyone who have been accepted to UOT declining admission to other MSW programs they’ve already been accepted to? For 2 year non-BSW
Would love to know the same

2-year rejection?
Yes. 2 year - Domestic applicant

Last name starting with C just received U of T rejection.
On that note, curious if there is anyone accepting U of T and rejecting an offer from Windsor or Western? On the waitlist for those schools and looking for some hope after another rejection
-
Anyone else on the waitlist here for Windsor? One of the many schools I'm waiting on

I feel that too @matty16
I thought that I would hear back by now since my last name starts with a C. I hope this doesn't mean that I am rejected or waitlisted.?
Fellow C - discouraged for sure

Congrats to all of those who have got into UOT and best wishes for all of you who are still awaiting their response!
Just wondering if any of you who have been offered admissions to UOT and have been accepted to Westerns 2-year that will be rejecting your offer?
Great question. Fellow Western Waitlist-er here

Boy, I sure hope it doesn't go into May... I have a couple offers of admission from backups that are due May 1 and I would really hate to accept one and then get into Laurier a few days later, lol.
They did require that we submit our applications for the 2 year substantially earlier, so I wonder if that will impact the difference between when 1-year and 2-year decisions go out. Normally the advanced standing program must apply by Dec 1 and the regular track by Jan 15; this time both were due Dec 1.
I would still strongly encourage to anticipate later-April decisions, but hopefully the change in application deadline means that the two tracks won't be spaced as far apart as usual.Yeah this is the tough part with the dates and all the different schools. For those in positions similar to yours, you don't want to accept from a backup and cut off potential opportunities from schools like Laurier. But then this creates a chain reaction because people in situations similar to mine, being on a waitlist, wait longer.
I can imagine the tough position and I would feel similarly if I was in your shoes as well. Tough go all around -

I wonder when the schools would announce if they are going back to in-person learning...My guess for Ontario at least is that it would probably be online for the Fall and regular, in-person for the winter. Does anyone else have some insight on this? This uncertainty around the situation of being accepted or not is one thing, but if and when I would have to move to a new city and find a place is another anxiety-provoking aspect of this process.
I'm also curious what peoples thoughts are for the possibility of in-person learning for September. I know there were some articles written that the universities in Ontario were hoping to have more of an in-person presence on campus for the fall but with things constantly evolving I'm curious what peoples thoughts are

So, I need some insight! I applied at Windsor's MSW Working Professionals for Advanced Standing. On March 26th, my status change changed to "in process." I checked again today and.. my application is blank. It says no new rows found. What does this mean? ? No emails for a decision yet.
Hey I just checked mine too (2 year MSW) and it did that too! I checked it on a different browser (went from chrome to safari) and it was normal. Just checked again on chrome, back to normal. Maybe a glitch in the system

Did anyone get rejected from the 2 year MSW at Windsor or were all of those not admitted put on the waitlist? How long do you think the waitlist would be?
I got waitlisted by Windsor for the 2 year MSW and am waiting to hear if I'll get off it.

So I guess if we don't get any responses today or tomorrow we have to wait until Tuesday I assume.

Hi everyone! I just found out I got into Western's MSW program and was wondering if theres a facebook group for non-advanced standing students. Feel like I'm playing catch up and think a facebook group could help if it exists.
