That letter was sent Feb 8 according to the postage stamp. Wow, mail is taking a long time right now ?‍♀️ 

Very small, very unassuming. Don’t mind how aggressively I ripped it open.

Hahahaha i'm with you, I do not have patience for this process! But I think it will be worth the wait to read the letter yourself @ChipDip

I haven’t received a letter yet, it will probably be today. But when I did my BSW through DAL it was the same thing. As long as your paperwork checks out you’re in, I’ve never heard of someone getting this letter then not being accepted. And no there’s nothing for you to do, just wait for the email and they will ask for a $200 deposit 

Ok so weird turn of events. I just got a letter from Dal (may have arrived yesterday I am not sure) and its not an acceptance.. not a refusal.. not a waitlist.. a conditional acceptance? Has anyone received something like this?
The Master of Social Work Admissions Committee is pleased to notify you that it has recommended acceptance of your application to the Dean, Faculty of Graduate Studies [...] Although the School has recommended your admission to the Dean, the final decision on your admission including any conditions related to it will be made by the Faculty of Graduate Studies. If our recommendation for your admission is approved, the University Registrar will email you an official letter of acceptance in the coming weeks.
I mean, I am not complaining, but maybe they could have waited until a decision had been made before sending a letter?

Oh my friends! I'm so sorry everyone is feeling the stress, I had a nice de-stress cry today in the shower, would recommend. I haven't heard anything yet either (Toronto, Ontario) and my last name starts with C. Reminding myself though, sometimes mail is unpredictable!

Hey everyone!
I’ve really enjoyed reading other’s progress updates through the application process and feeling the support from this community. So many motivated and ambitious future social workers here, each with unique professional / educational experiences. Love to see it! 
 
I wanted to chime in and say that I received my acceptance to Dal’s 2-year, non-BSW entry last Friday, Feb. 11th! I also live in Halifax and my last name starts with “C” so it very well could be alphabetical. 
 
@greenteaicecream that’s beyond frustrating you haven’t received that darn letter yet, especially living so close to their building. I hope that letter either comes to you soon or maybe you can touch base with the Graduate/ SW department about re-mailing it or inquire when they plan to update the online portal.
 
Best of luck to everyone still waiting for Dal’s letter or to hear from other programs

In Ontario too! Didn’t come today unfortunately my mail just came

I’m hoping today too! But literally who knows at this point. Good luck!

Hi there! Chiming in from Toronto - no letter yet from Dal for me either (applied to the 2 year programme). Hopeful today but trying not to be too optimistic.

**SEEKING ADVICE
Hello everyone! I have been aspiring to pursue a Master of Social Work education for as long as I can remember. I am currently an RSW working with the Ontario Ministry of the Solicitor General at a correctional centre. I have a B.A in psych and an HBSW (Lakehead 1-year program). 
This year is my 4th year in a row applying to MSW programs. As I would like to focus on macro level social work, I applied to McMaster (Critical Analysis) and York University.
Due to working full-time, I applied to the part-time program for both McMaster and York. However, I recently came to the realization that I would be willing to give up my job to attend school. Therefore, I really wish I applied to both full-time and part-time to broaden my chance of acceptance.
Do you think it would be permissible to email both schools to request for my application to be considered for both PT and FT?
Thank you in advance.

Hey! I feel like there’s no harm in emailing and asking them. I’m not sure if they will be able to change it as most schools say that once you’ve handed in your application, you can’t make changes. However, I feel like emailing and asking wouldn’t cause any harm! Best of luck to you!

Hi everyone! I've been accepted at the Thunder Bay campus but am unfortuntely not going to be able to attend school this year - i'll be declining the offer in a few days so hopefully goes to someone waitlisted - thanks for all the support over here - what a stressful time!
