  1. Hi folks! Currently in the 2 year msw program at Uoft! If you have questions please let me know! this forum has helped me in the past, and I want to give back! Reach out if you would like to! Best of luck to everyone!
  2. Received offer from laurier in person program, at 11:30 this morning. Last name B. I will be declining the offer as I've accepted another school. Hope this opens up a place for someone else. Good luck everyone!
  3. Hey there! Congrats on receiving a post-grad BSW admission at UBC! While I don't have an info about the UBC program, I will say I also graduated recently (last year) and applied for a msw while in my undergrad. At that time, I was waitlisted with all due reason. From what you have said, I think a bsw post grad option, will still allow you to pursue a msw after and there are so many more schools that offer advanced msw which I believe you will qualify for. So thats something to consider, when it comes to the opportunities and doors it will open. Finances are a huge thing, which I completely relate to you. If that is the most important thing, I would weigh the cost of both options and see which one is more feasible for you.
  4. When do decisions go out? on their site it says mid april.
  5. Hey! I had 1 reference from a prof and 2 from work experiences! A tip i would give is to have your references look at the questions they have to answer before hand. Walk them through the process and let them know what to expect, I find doing this helps them write a strong reference for you. If you have many options to choose from as your references, then I would choose people who you had a strong professional relationship with and know the quality of your work. Let me know if you have other questions. fingers crossed for you
  6. Yes, I did have this problem on my iphone safari. But firefox should work fine. ?
  7. One thing I would also say, is to pour your all into the personal statement and make sure you're references are really good. I do think the writing style is super important as well. that was one tip about uoft i recieved from this site. Feel free to message as well. This was my first time applying.
  8. Unfortunately, i think we might have different packages lol. is this is the 2 year program one?
  9. Thank you for the clarification. Did you ask the dept. or anyone specific? Because in the package it just says submit these forms under the document that reads confirmation form. So a little confused lol
  10. They are unpaid, however, depending on the field placement coordinator, you might have the ability to arrange one that is paid. But that is a big maybe. Also as mentioned by the previous comment, all depends on the school as well.
  11. Decided to check Acorn as well! I have been accepted to UofT's 2 year program!!! Last name starts with B. For all those waiting, wishing you the best!!!!! Positive vibes!!
  12. Its definitely tough for those who are caregivers, full-time workers and are reliable for others. I completely agree with you in that its insane and almost illogical how there's on one full online program in Canada, that not only makes it competitive but also difficult for those that don't have any other options. My heart goes out to you, sending you all the luck and positivity. Wishing you get into your choice.
  13. Also received an acceptance for western's 2 year program!! Wishing everyone best of luck as well!!!! You got this!!!
  14. OMG yes!!! The instructions also say you must write in essay format. which is confusing to another level because the word limit is insanely small to provide much info.
  15. Yes I received that email. Do you know where or when the student numbers were given out. Thats the one thing Im having a hard time finding. ?
  16. For those applying to the 2 year msw at Laurier; im wondering if we are supposed to cover all the prompts or secondary questions asked in the statement of interest. I've made the effort to answer them all but with the word count, its difficult to mention things in detail. Would love to hear any advice or know what others are doing.
  17. I think they suggest that you provide examples from your work or experiences that specifically showcase those skills and how they prepare you for grad school. A resume would be describing what you did, versus in the Experience Profile Form, you can add examples of what you did that show those skills and how they prepare you. So kinda like provide more detail on those areas in specific. That is what I plan to do.
  18. Hey! I would go for the second option, where you just right the essay without any headings. Since the instructions say write an essay. This way there's a flow to writing as well. I know how difficult it can be to address the question all in one essay, because someone topics vary. But that's what I'm doing.
  19. Do you know what they mean by being focused enough, i feel like its super tough with the word limit?? ?
  20. Hey! I actually had the same question in mind. I feel like Ontario uni's offering 2 year msw programs are all generally very competitive. I applied to laurier last year and got waitlisted. Planning to apply again but im also not too confident. The feedback from them was very general like stronger references and well written statements are important. Really hoping we can get an answer to your question. But also comforting to know i'm not the only one feeling this way.
  21. Hey There! I am in the same boat as you in terms of level of experience and education. I'm curios to know which schools you're applying to?
  22. Yes same here. Patiently waiting, however, i havent seen any news. ? I emailed them asking for an update, but nothing is confirmed.
  23. Im not even able to see the status of the application on LORIS. I'm not sure if thats just me.
  24. Yea I felt the same way! Im so unsure what the process is like this year. Its hard to determine whether to make plans for long term work or not. The waiting is the worst! Wishing the best outcome tho!
  25. Has anyone gotten of the waitlist for Laurier 2 year full time MSW? Just wondering what my stakes of getting in looks like at this time. If anyone knows others who had gotten of the waitlist in the past, would love to know!
