Msw.2021

I have a 3.5 gpa and 10,000 hours in healthcare/ social services and got waitlisted one year as well! Whatever will be will be ! It would just be nice knowing what the outcome is so we can plan around it tho...either way let’s all hope we get some answers 

Just to paint a picture of what’s happening (also to feel less alone haha) could everyone who hasn’t heard from U of T yet like this post? 

I’m a Z ... the anticipation is killing me ?

Since we are going to have to wait for UoT, and because I'm feeling really pessimistic, I thought I'd share my background with you all. Would be cool to know, once we get our letters, what kind of profiles they went for. 
I am not from a SW background. I'm 31 with a BA in Political Science and a Gr. Dip in Economics. I got pretty varied grades in my first degree but smashed the Gr Dip.
 I have worked for a decade in various activist and non-profit environments, having built myself into an not-for-profit operations leader in the climate justice space. 
I'm also a certified trauma-sensitive yoga facilitator, which represents about 550 hours of cumulative training. This allows me to facilitate a yoga-based therapy for people with PTSD and other forms of complex trauma.
So, like I said, not a social work background. I applied on the basis of wanting to transition my career to support people through the climate crisis. Ha. I promise it sounded better than that in my statement!

I chose UoT because they seemed to be open to a range of different backgrounds and professional trajectories. I don't think I will get an offer, but it's been a good time of reflection for me on how to move my career in a direction that feels right.
