I've been looking through all the posts on this forum and have not come across one person who applied for Ryerson's MSW Advanced Standing Program. I get that it's less popular because they don't have a 2 year stream, so if you applied please let me know! I would love to connect with someone who applied for it.
I mainly only applied to Ryerson because my field placement for my BSW might extend beyond April which would result in a Fall 2022 graduation. I found that Ryerson MSW is the only program that accepts people for Fall 2022 even if they are graduating in Fall 2022. I might be wrong though, but I've been to all the information sessions for Toronto MSW programs and Ryerson was the only one that mentioned this. Also, I am doing my BSW at York and I like how they structured the program to be very social justice based.
The foundation from my BSW program made me realize I want to keep going down the path of macro level social work. I would've applied to York as well, but it would be a waste of money to apply if I'm graduating in Fall 2022. If I don't get into Ryerson, I'll probably look for a job in my line of work and then reapply for Fall 2023 at York and UofT. I am mostly planning on applying within Toronto even if it's for Fall 2023 because of some commitments I have here. That may change if applying to more schools gets me a better chance of getting in, because there's less of a chance I would reapply for Fall 2024.
