Reputation and degree creditability, tuition cost, and job opportunities... U of T wins. The MA from Yorkville does not have a great reputation honestly. It's a high cost, online degree, from a private university. It's known as a "last ditch effort" for many people who wanted to go into grad school for careers in counselling and psychology. Many employers know this as well. There's typically more opportunities for an RSW than a RP as well, especially in settings such as hospitals and community agencies. That being said, if you plan on going into private practice I don't think it will matter much. The vast majority of clients are not familiar with these things because they aren't in the field. I noticed that you would be moving provinces to attend U of T, so that's obviously something you should consider as well when making your choice. Best of luck!

Today I was waitlisted at York AS and just offered admission off of Waterloo's MSW program waitlist! So happy to receive an offer from Waterloo, only a few weeks after being waitlisted

Does anyone know when York typically uploads their advanced standing results?

Does anyone know if further action needs to be taken for being waitlisted at Waterloo? U of T asks us fill in a form, but I have not received anything from Waterloo yet regarding next steps after being waitlisted.

Thank you. And yes exactly!

I have heard back from Waterloo's MSW program--wait-listed. Last name begins with M.

My last name starts with 'M'

Yeah just echoing other folks...waitlisted at U of T for 1 year advanced standing program. I'd love to know how this waitlist works...
